Surely the priority should be deporting ‘undesirables’. And I have no shame in using that word. Some people really are undesirable - and that includes plenty of British people! Some of those louts who move to Spain, refuse to learn Spanish, fight and urinate in the street, and fly Union jacks outside their homes, don’t exactly enrich Spanish culture. I wouldn’t blame the Spanish for deporting them.
If I was a member of the Reform government, I would draw up a list for deportation, with those I most wanted to deport at the top. A list in descending order would look something like this:
- Illegal immigrants who have committed multiple serious crimes (rape, violence, house burglary, etc).
- Illegal immigrants convicted of just one serious crime or a series of petty crimes.
- Illegal immigrants who have never been convicted of a crime but have lived on welfare.
- Illegal immigrants who have not committed a crime or claimed welfare but who have no skills or training or education and cannot speak English very well.
- Legal immigrants who have been convicted of a series of serious crimes (rape, robbery with violence etc).
- Legal immigrants who have committed petty crimes.
- Legal immigrants who have committed no crimes but who live on welfare
…and so on, and so on.
My priority would be deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes. The further down the list you go, the more sympathetic I would be. Obviously someone who came here legally and had worked and obeyed the law would be perfectly safe. But an illegal immigrant isn’t a hero. He is a criminal. I liked Australia and wanted to stay there. But I couldn’t. If I had sneaked back in, I’d have expected them to deport me. I wouldn’t scream and shout and accuse the Australians of persecuting me. It is insane that we even need to debate this. The clue is in the word ‘illegal’.
The left have so much influence and control over the U.K. that people seem to think it’s immoral to deport a young man who comes here illegally and then lives by crime or benefit fraud. I have seen people described as ‘far-right’ for wanting a rapist deported!! It’s insane.
Don’t worry though. Even if Reform do take power (which they won’t), the establishment will block and frustrate any efforts to deport people. It just won’t happen. Sleep easy in your beds. People who come here illegally and rape and steal and deal drugs and cheat the welfare system are quite safe.
