If that was posted on DS politics, you know what the instant reaction would have been!Well I believe that immigrants who’se visas have expired and no longer qualify for renewal should voluntarily return home. Or have removal enforced if they won’t. Similarly if a person applies for a visa as say a student, but instead works in breach of this without obtaining clearance they should also have said visa cancelled and return home as they have used deception to gain advantage. I believe that any immigrants without papers at all are present in the UK illegally and should be prosecuted to the full extent that the law will allow up to and including enforced removal. I believe that any who believe that they are in immediate danger should have the opportunity to claim asylum, should be welcomed if they are successful, and should be removed if not.
I believe that any immigrants who have arrived in the UK with the correct clearance should be welcomed and celebrated for the contributions they make to UK society.
So I am saying that yes certain immigrants should return home in circumstances were they don’t qualify for leave to remain. And I don’t view that as horrible. I view it as a fair and functioning borders and immigration system.
