Rejected petition Detain illegal immigrants immediately upon discovery
More details
Stop NOW this ridiculous farce where detected illegal immigrants are 'released on licence' to present themselves at a meeting, on some spurious later date. The fact is the overwhelming majority dont, and why should they? They came here illegally in the first place.
Its a complete waste of money and resources processing paperwork and achieving nothing when you arent physically detaining the person concerned. Much cheaper in the long run repurpose redundant Army/RAF bases as detention centres.
No passport is no excuse to be left free to roam and then use false identities to rape our already creaking benefits system.
We have something to learn from Australia's stance on these matters.
We want you to detect, detain immediately and repatriate within 48 hours.
