Deportations Shame our Nation

Provisional figures for deportations and persons refused and removed for 1998, show the true horror of UK immigration laws.

National media always concentrate on the numbers coming in but never about the numbers going out.

A total of 34,775 persons were kicked out of the UK in 1998 - 668 persons per week - 4 persons per hour.

Over all enforcements for 1998 are up 13.5% on 1997 but an alarming acceleration is seen in the last 6 months of 1998 the percentage increase has risen by 21% - definitely firmer and definitely faster.

The purpose of all immigration laws, beginning with the 1906 "Aliens Act" and all the Immigration acts after the war, whether they were Tory or Labour, up to and including the 1996 Asylum and Immigration Act, has been to make it harder and harder for non UK nationals to enter the UK and easier to kick them out if they did enter.
Each Act was more oppressive, discriminatory and heart breaking than its predecessor.

The 1999 "Immigration and Asylum" bill by comparison makes them all look tame,
its sheer viciousness leaves you breathless
