Billy before Bettljus throw us another Socialist slogan I've got 2 quick comments:
1. If a passport looks 'sus' and the reason for the visit is a 7 week English language course when the 'student' could have had more than adequate instruction in France, then I'd expect some action from the Immigration Dept. OK they got it wrong and paid for the mistake so what. Big deal. This will I'm sure result in a change to procedures, rather than our immigration policy.
2. and IMHO this is why we need have the policy we do - from Visa.com - A study of Home Office figures by British think tank Migrationwatch UK found that more than eight in 10 refugees whose asylum applications were denied remain in the country illegally. The study indicates that 200,000 asylum seekers remain in the country illegally, and that the rate of deportation for those refused asylum is falling, despite government assurances to the contrary. While the number of asylum seekers has fallen 34% over last year, so has the rate of deportations for those refugees whose applications are denied.
