August 8, 2010Migration Patterns
Melanie McDonagh's article ("Bless you, Vicar, for showing our curbs on immigration are a jok", Comment, last week) hit a row of nails on the head and with a touch of sardonic humour. The reality is that of the migrants who come from outside the European Union, only a quarter come here to work. Some will be vital for business. Others will just be cheaper to employ. All will be reducing the incentive for employers to train British workers. The City's voice must be heard, but not exclusively. Immigration has been running out of control, so all sectors should be reined in.

Briefing Papers
Deportation and Administrative Removal
August 1, 2010The subject of deportation is regulated by certain sections of the Immigration Act 1971 and administrative removal is regulated by section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Detailed provisions on both procedures are set out in paragraphs 362 - 395F of the Immigration Rules. Paragraph 362 states that a deportation order authorises the detention pending removal of the person named in it. It also prohibits the person from re-entering the country for so long as it is in force and invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom given before the order was made or while it remains in force. Deportation is normally used for the more serious cases, where the Secretary of State deems the person's deportation to be conducive to the public good or where a court recommends deportation in the case of a person over the age of 17 who has been convicted with an offence punishable with imprisonment.
