Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

They have actually caught a potential illegal immigrant :D

A Mexican national who told airport immigration he was visiting Britain to see a friend was swiftly deported after a search unearthed a good-luck card in his luggage wishing him well for his "new life in the UK."Border Agency officers at Manchester Airport routinely stopped the 40-year-old chef after he arrived on a flight from Los Angeles last Friday.
The man told them he was on a short trip to see a friend who was opening a restaurant in the area.
"However, a search of the passenger's baggage revealed a huge collection of Mexican food recipes and a good-luck card from his church wishing him well for his 'new life in the UK,'" the agency said in a statement.
The man later admitted he had intended to work at the restaurant illegally and had planned to bring his family over from America if he liked it.
He was deported the next day.
"We will not tolerate people coming here to work illegally," the agency said. "People wanting to visit the UK must play by the rules. Those who do not are sent back."

HA...when did they bring that rule into force, utter garbage, its about time they lived by their so called rules

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Sounds like a stream of warm brown smelly soft substance from their mouths. I think its an ironey really that this happens to a chef but "certain others" get in n stay even when they are supposed to be given the size 12 up the backside out of the country!!!

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Probably sent him back because his English was too good?

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

PMSL. :D That or he was a threat to all the celeb chefs we have so they paid his return ticket after planting evidence. Shady lot these celeb chefs.

Pity they dont kick out more before they can get embeded enough to start screaming about human rights!!!!

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Wonder if they actually did the job properly and investigated the restaurant he was going to work at :rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Depends if they were offered free meals or not. :p

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

no our Border Security is the standing joke of Europe n we are n island. should be the best.:rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

So where did they send him back to , the US or Mexico , happen they won't let him back into the US and he ends up living in the airport like the guy in the movie :confused: :confused:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Could make a living in the airport cookin for passengers stuck due to late and cancelled flights. :D

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

As a regular Aircrew traveller through UK immigration..... NO

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

glad someone who really knows agrees wi me.:);)

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

I'm sorry BG in response to what?

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

...and if you're a Romanian beggar you'll still be able to come here without let or hinderance, completely legally, because every single mainstream British politician thinks the EU is a good thing!

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

the question the thread was asking.:)

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

I dont think you will get a favourable response to that one Steve from the politicans
We are expected to toe the line and not question the good offices of our betters...In a pigs eye. :eek:
We are sheep in the eyes of our national politicians and frowned upon by local politicians....Opinion does not count at a local level or national level and questions are answered by questions which have no relevence.
I think the EU sucks and the countries that have benefitted from EU grants have made a right town halls of it, Malta being one.
I asked a question in another thread ' Where has the money gone'
Money was paid to Malta to build a new motorway, the motorway has not been built but the money has gone...'where has the money gone'?

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Not surprised, the EU is riddled with corruption and freeloading, so much so that its own auditors have refused to sign the accounts off for 12 years running. Labour, Tory and LibDem politicians don't want to talk about that, because it's an uncomfortable truth that they'd rather sweep under the carpet!

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Its evident that this guy didn't know the magic word ASYLUM, they would have to let him stay while they looked into his claim then when he was refused he just have to do what the rest of the failed asylum seekers do stick two fingers up and get on with their lives:(

If he'd have worn a different hat the chances are he wouldn't have been spotted on the radar.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Nice one Jedi, maybe we could have much the same on the tarmac at Heathrow, Gatwich and Manchester airports:rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

I saw on the news this morning that France are considering just opening thier borders and letting all the illegals through, in response to asking the British government to make Britain less appealing (remove the benefits etc), and also asked that we patrol our own borders properly to save the French having such a lot to do, I cant argue with them, we have been the laughing stock for far too long, seems we are doing very little other than inviting more immigrants, while the French know we should be curbing it, so, is this the human rights brigade again, or ignorant government? Beats me either way! We cannot afford this, especially at the moment.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Derek I think you will find that this senario is not true.
Britain can deport illegals to the port of embarkation and that means France.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Of course our border security's improving. We're doing a great job of keeping the Gurkhas out! :rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Nut - Shell Wynonie, Royboy, being able to deport people is one thing, but doing it, or not allowing as many accross the border in the first place, I think, are a world away from what the government would have us believe, I would say that the news/French reports are, for a change, more accurate than government spin.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Much as i dislike the French n i sure do, their Politicians are nowhere near as stupid n inept as ours.:rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Jez Cashy anybody that stupid would be hard to find:rolleyes:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Can someone tell me why the French allow these camps to exist in the first place , are these people legally in France ? if not , should be easy enough to round them up and ship them out , not like they have disappeared into the 'black economy' :confused: :confused:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

they exist because they are legal under EC laws that the French were the first nation to sign up for.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Fair enough , so if they are legally allowed to be in France , and there is "free passage of movement" in the EU why is the UK blocking them ? . The UK is either part of the EU or it isn't . :confused:

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Ah well you are getting to the real bacis Steeljack.. no immagrants are allowed in the UK unless they are legally entiltled to do so..or they may seek asylum ..it's easy to jump a ship from say africa to Spain or travel inland from east europe to France ..but then you have the English channel... that is the main stumbling block for ilegall immagrants... I don't believe all the stuff about free benefits for illegal immagrants.. it's all something the whingers and the Frence cook up to make us feel like it's some sort of Custers last stand here.

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

now this is what I'm getting at ....can understand how the boat migrants from Africa can enter Europe thru Spain or Italy , but , just for example an Afghani or Iraqi, who wants 'asylum' in the UK has to pass thru at least 7 or 8 countries if traveling overland to get to the channel ports in France including Turkey, Greece, the ex Yugoslav countries, Austria, Germany etc. Wheres the border controls for these countries . No way in hell can I imagine the border police in Iran , Jordan or Turkey allowing undocumented persons transit thru their territory , just does not happen ,have lived there, even the Hajjis heading to Mecca have a tough time , as for transit thru the ex Yugoslav states forget it , Serbs,Croats and Bosnians showing kindness to outsiders ...thats a joke.
Nah, there must be something else going on here with the connivance of various Govts. ;)

Re: Is Our Border Security Improving ?
 

Most of those canped around the French Ports are not from the EU and therefore have no right to be there Mancie and as far as I'm concerned here neither
