14 Year Long Stay Immigration Concession to be closed

[joebloggs]

good news for dedworth , if you were an illegal immigrant and managed not to get caught for 14yrs you could apply for ILR

Ministers plan to shut down what many see as an immigration loophole which grants illegal immigrants a permanent stay in the UK after 14 years whether they entered the UK legally or not, the Telegraph reports.

Under a controversial concession, those who elude the authorities for 14 years can apply for indefinite leave to stay in the UK.

Almost 9,000 illegal immigrants have been granted such a right since the policy was introduce by Labour in 2003.

What a marvellous idea.

The longer your criminal record, the greater the rewards.

Different attitude in Australia -

Prime Minister Julia Gillard warned that detainees guilty of causing disturbances were harming their chances of resettlement in Australia.

"If you commit a criminal offence it will count against you," she said.
