Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

Just watched 47 migrants being deported, costing hundreds of thousands, private flights, huge number of security guards, the migrants then get given cash cards! Back to Romania after committing crimes here including murder, sexual offences, pedophiles with money to help them resettle in their own country.

ITV news - our own go hungry and cold.

We are total mugs here in the UK.

On a separate story migrants having taxis to appointments, free NHS. I mean we have to get to our own way.

Mugs. No wonder many people are unhappy. These are convicted criminals, being pandered to.

Not sure why us spending tax payers' money on criminals is "yawn". It's shocking when you consider the state of health, education and everything else in this country.

My politics are in the centre - and I would like to see the left and right collaborate rather than fight, but comments like "Hi Nige" and "Yawn" actually make me feel more inclined to vote Reform next time.

Yes, then people wonder why Reform attract voters. The 2 main parties to date have been useless. These are all criminals. Romania is their country. They aren't our problem.

What we need to spend the money on is our citizens, our homeless our poor, our children's education, the NHS.

I don't like Nigel but can see why he's getting votes.

It needs sorting by the government quick.

Actually watch the report, its mond boggling the costs for 47 convicted criminals.

He’s not ‘getting votes’. He’s currently leading in some polls almost four years before a general strike election might be called based on populist policies he doesn’t have a plan for.

Is this a payment for voluntary deportation?

It doesn’t work when kicking people out of prison with no money, so how would this work?

Show quote history

They aren't our citizens, they are Romanian, let the Romanians deal with their own. We aren't responsible for other countries people. Not our problem.

I did go on to explain my rationale.

What should we do then op, ever which way these people are to be "processed" costs money, even not allowing them to enter the UK.

So what's the answer?

Quicker, with no money, in handcuffs and leg chains if they throw urine over security staff. Disgusting. Tighten the boarders so we know who is arriving. Much quicker processing on arrival.

Yawn.

Yes, on the face of it, it does seem absurd. However, if it costs £52000 a year to keep somebody in prison, maybe this makes more sense?

They give them money to get them to agree to go. The £2k is far less than the cost of housing them and all the court time and paperwork etc if they don't agree to leave voluntarily.

It's been repeatedly reported today that deportation and 2K is far cheaper than keeping them here.

Shame people that support giving criminals money don't pay for it all.

Bank cards with up to £2000 on them. They are criminals. Murder, sex criminals, etc. Romanian, not in any danger.
