Foreign criminals 'won't be deported'
The Border and Immigration Agency has reached a decision that it is not interested "in deporting foreign national prisoners serving sentences of under a year".
This news may embarrass Gordon Brown who has stated that all those foreigners who commit offences will be deported.
I am more interested in learning the reasoning behind this decision. The article does not offer any enlightenment. Personally, I think it is difficult to justify deportations on the grounds of such lenient sentences. However, I suspect that the decision is based upon some EU legislation similar to that used in the Learco Chindamo case.
