Damien Green, the UK Immigration minister has drawn the battle lines against those who think the UK is soft touch. He said the Government was determined to send a clear message to those with no right to come to the UK.
The immigration minister is facing heavy criticism over his policy to return Iraqi nationals on charter flights and for paying asylum seekers in Calais waiting to enter the UK illegally £4,000 not to do so.
At the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee Mr Green said, “Britain has been seen as something of a soft touch. One of the drivers of the new Government’s immigration policy is to send a message around the world that Britain is no longer a soft touch.”
He added: “We are going to do a lot of enforcement over the next few months on sham marriages, bogus colleges, illegal work. I think it’s very important that we not only clamp down on all that but clamp down very publicly. It’s all part of sending a message.”
The Immigration minister was also adamant about forging ahead with his controversial policies on Iraqi detainees. He told MPs, “I am absolutely unrepentant about returning people who have no right to be in this country to Iraq.”
He also confirmed that he would continue the Labour government’s policy of offering cash to immigrants wanting to smuggle themselves into the UK through Calais.
“It looks unpalatable but it is the least worst option,” he said. “That’s much better for the taxpayer.”
Of the UK Border Agency, Mr Green promised radical reform: “My feeling is that it’s better than it was but there’s an awful long way to go. We are looking at potentially radical changes to make it more efficient.”
WELL DONE!!! At long, long, long last!
The UK is NOT the world’s nanny – but a place for genuine asylum seekers, sincere students and real immigrants! All of whom must respect our way of life, and allow us to carry on with our traditions and culture without fear of being taken to court for upholding our values and beliefs. Uur traditions and culture and those who enter our borders must not try to impose their traditions on us – including Shariah law! We will respect what is yours, so do not demand that we overturn our centuries of life and respect us!
