interesting comparison on how the UK and Russia deal with the problem of illegal immigrants.
In the UK we go softly softly, offer them a free flight home, if they decline they have thirty days to leave, in which time they can disappear.
In Russia they round them up, give them no choice, just deport them, which system should we use?
Interesting Jim's comment on how clever they are.
Apparently EU beggars living rough in London, know that they can only stay for 90 days, on the 89th day the leave the country and re-enter on the 91st starting the whole process over again.
Who are the mugs?

Billboards for illegals.
These aren't illegals but if you want your blood pressure pumping up watch this,it just shows we that don't live in multicultural areas what it must be like for those that do.The TV show "How To Get A Council House" Channel 4 9pm last night.The area involved Tower Hamlets,There was not one white Housing Officer allocating the properties and applicants applying I would say was 99.9% foreign.One house up for grabs there was only one English/White person in the line up,she gave up and walked away she said "I've got no chance I'm English".Watch it on playback.
Another good show last nigh"Coming to the UK" Tonight 7.30 ITV. A look at the restictions being lifted on foreign workers.

Billboards for illegals.
Border staff in "race bias" spot checks.
So it would appear that the Border Agency are physically doing something about rounding up illegals.UK Border Agency staff have been quizzing people on the London Underground.Black and Asian families have been targeted by border agency officials in spot checks for illegal immigrants it was claimed yesterday.A witness said "They appear to be stopping every non-white person".The Home Office spokesman said "We make no apology for enforcing our immigration laws". I think they should be listening to foreign speaking people and ask for their documents.

Billboard better idea
Instead of driving around with a billboard telling illegals they will be found and deported,
why not
Have a big old van with a billboard attached inviting illegals in for tea/coffee/hashish so as their illegal status can be discussed, advice given to them on all the benefits etc they can claim, how to get citizenship etc. you name it we inform them.
Once the van if full of illegals all waiting to be heard.
nip out saying must goo for a pee
slam the doors and lock them all in.
drive to the coast and just keep driving but leap out just before van goes over the cliff.
this will deposit a van load of illegals on the beach where they made their illegal entry into the U.K. and after a set time they could be let out and put on a slow boat back to whence they came.
There is a bit of a catch to this solution but I will leave it up to your imagination to figure it out.

Our new baroness, along with other labour Peers is complaining that the police are targeting ethnic minorities in their illegal immigrant campaign, what are they supposed to do, target the indigenous majority?
What makes these people tick, can they not see the stupidity of their remarks

If a Policeman or Immigration officer stopped me and asked for identity proof , i have no objection whatsoever , but I supported Identity cards , except that the concept the cards were to be in was easily copied by clever technology . We all have Numbers , Health service , passport , drivers licence , National Insurance , how difficulot would it be to have one number , I know it smacks of 1984 , but a single number on a data base , photo ID for adults , maybe a thumbprint or two , one number , hard to copy , iris recognition , a single plastic card . Have border agency men roam the streets asking for ID , then the 500,000 people not legally here would be rounded up , you need fear to make them go home , ID them and ship them back , but make the detention blocks hell ,
