Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

[Ihatetomatoes]

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.

I watched the report. Hence knowing it costs £52k a year to keep them in prison. I think that it is a price worth paying to remove criminals and to save court costs for deportation.

Yes, and they have been deported, which is what everyone wants. You are only complaining about the £2,000 payment to persuade them to go. What do you want, the government to spend more money to keep them here in society committing further crime?I think your outrage is faux and misplaced.

Approximately 33% of the UK male working age population has a criminal conviction - that’s 12 million people living here you need to worry about

We kick Brits out with the princely sum of £90 plus a travel warrant home - so why pay deportees more than that plus their trip home?

Because the f'ers all appeal deportation and it costs a fortune to fight each appeal and house them during the appeal process.

£2k is a bargain. Look at it another way, the govt is saving hundreds of thousands if not millions by bribing them to go quickly and quietly.

Another who didn't watch the programme. It wasn't about boats or people arriving on them!

It was about the costs involved in deportations of convicted criminals at the end of their sentences 🙄 and giving them extra cash to help them.out.

Plus the costs of probation services, housing, benefits until they find work…

We SHOULD spend money on our people, but the fact is that those at the top are creaming off profits left, right and centre. Everything that can be done to line the pockets of the rich has been and is being done.
Landlords set extortionate rates.
Almost everything has been privatised for profit
Essential services have had staff cuts to allow for profit from the people who actually own it all.

The problem isn't migrants, although I'll concede that criminals who have come here from elsewhere do not help the situation.

er ... trains ?

British veterans on the street - surely people who have put their lives on the line for their country deserve better treatment than people who have illegally come here in small boats, disposed of their documents so they can claim to come from Afghanistan/Syria etc whether or not that is true and now expect us to house them etc

What if they burn their papers and won't tell anyone where they're from? Where can they be deported to?

So why give them British tax payers money to wish them well on their merry way. Utter nonsense.

We don’t go to other countries and get free handouts. This country is absurd.

We are buying a property abroad . We have to prove earnings , our income, have an NI number and a bank account in that country. We also pay our own healthcare insurance and have to prove that.

This here, this country, it’s a joke.

It is indeed a laughing stock.

Nope, they didn't use bribes. They didn't want to go so were forcibly deported, that's not voluntary, it's against their wishes, being escorted by up to 7 security guards at the end of their prison sentences. The cash wasn't a bribe for volunteering to go. Just a little bonus.

That old chestnut..

That’s been going on for years.

Exactly my point, which many have missed. These didn't volunteer to go, they were forced and still given money. They were all convicted criminals.

Any chance to some kind of evidence for the claims?
Perhaps when these policies were introduced, how often this has happened, how much money spent in total?

Something to back your op.

As I said you’ve fallen for a “look over here” 12 million men with criminal convictions ALL around you…you’re being played to stress about 47 …for what agenda…??? You have not to be led but to think who benefits from this “look over here” nonsense…if you genuinely cared you’d want these offenders to be monitored but you don’t you are arguing for them to be removed….what to be free to commit more offences?

They see a doctor closer to their hotel. They don't get transport 400 miles away.

They aren't the problem of the UK, they are Romanias problems.

We go to poorer countries to recruit NHS and care staff…we are asking people to come here 🤦‍♀️

I did watch it! They didn’t all get cards, just the ones who had agreed to go early!

They may be criminals but they had all come here legally, some had lived here for 10 years or more! Legally!

Right so why post about it?

The taxi costs for asylum seekers is due to health care provision not moving with the individual when they move them across the country and isn't the norm

'According to The Sun, Home Office contractor Clearsprings Ready Homes spent nearly £350,000-a-month for 6,000 journeys at one firm.'

That’s a whole different issue. I’ve worked with the homeless. There are temporary spaces available for those who are homeless but they are generally in hostels with difficult people. Veterans on the street often have severe MH issues and addictions that make holding down accommodation difficult. I really don’t think this should be an either/or situation. We can help both. We need yo stop all the division.
But back on topic, unfortunately there will always be SOME immigrants who commit crime. Removal to their home country seems a lot more cost effective than remaining in the uk, paying for accommodation, benefits etc.
