Re: Illegal Immigrants
At Labour's last conference a motion was passed to allow unhindered immigration.
This would allow an migrant to bring his immediate family into the UK. No definition of immediate family.

Re: Illegal Immigrants
For migrants here in Oz to obtain z local driving license the system was at one time a visit to the local Vic Roads for a test.
Simple one where you had to drive around the roads and pass a written test, very few failed and if you came from a Commonwealth country only the written bit.
One day an Asian man took a test and passed.
Later that day another Asian also turned up to take a test, went out with the driver and all was well.
But when they got back to the depot the instructor phoned the local police.
The driver was arrested and charged with fraud and a few other crimes.
he had been taking the test for others for some time, the way he got caught out was the fact he had been there in the morning and just by chance the same instructor was still on duty that afternoon and recognized him from the morning..


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Illegal Immigrants
Our city mayor has now declared a war on rough sleepers in the city, some of whom are known illegals but under some present odd law the police cannot take them in.
The state gov has agreed to review this one in an attempt to clean up the city a bit more.
Also tougher laws now for man slaughter and murder using a gun.

Re: Illegal Immigrants
An old thread, which i apologise for, but steam was issuing from lug holes yesterday, one prominent do-gooder was complaining at the Gov intention now to tag the illegal migrants to stop them legging it into the greater community, her statement was that we are treating these people like criminals, what !!, they have just entered the country illegally , so by definition they have committed a criminal act.

Re: Illegal Immigrants
Keith entering Canada in 1967 as a landed immigrant had to have all sorts of medicals. As have already said re Harley Street and around the corner think it was Jermyn Street maybe Graham will know where all the uppercrust used to go. Then in 1991 entering Australia on the same terms only this time it was Aids you were tested for apart from TB. Does make one feel inferior to people who just walk in bringing in their own personal diseases , JS
