George Eaton (Editor of the New Statesman's Staggers blog) reports: “Boris says we effectively already have an amnesty for illegal immigrants. After ten years, the authorities no longer pursue you.”
Why?
Who decided that these law breakers should be allowed to go free and who are “the authorities” who are colluding in this?
Is there perhaps a connection between large numbers of illegal immigrants entering London and thinking they have got away with breaking the law, and the subsequent attitude of BME (BAME) communities towards the Metropolitan Police?
Are we perhaps creating a culture in parts of London where individuals decide what laws they want to obey and what laws they think they are entitled to ignore?
To listen to self-righteous pundits like Jonathan Portes you would think that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. He is like those self-satisfied middle-class individuals who tell you how much they have “got back” from insurance companies by making false claims on their house insurance. Just as the payouts to lying householders have to be paid for by higher premiums for everyone else, so the costs of illegal immigration have to be paid for by society as a whole.
Personally I would like to see more privatisation introduced into the pursuit of illegal immigrants, with payments of £1,000 for every illegal immigrant that is ejected from the United Kingdom. That would allow for the creation of private agencies identifying, locating and bringing to the attention of “the authorities” people who are here without legal permission. Such agencies would also have an incentive to keep on top of the public sector in making sure that illegals are managed out of the country as quickly and efficiently as possible.
