Why Is He Still Here?

Five times he has refused to leave Britain, the immigration minister himself told him to go on live television, this is the minister who supports a van touring the country, with the harmless message, "go home or face arrest".
Yet this is just one of many that refuses to go, supported apparently by the Lib Dems who dismissed the vans as 'silly', Labour who accused the Tories of using the ‘language of the National Front’, and The Advertising Standards Authority who said the 'go home' slogan was 'distasteful'.

They could start by saving the fuel that this van uses, so withdrawing any warning and when these illegals are caught, they should be sent back from whence they came almost immediately, yes let's defy Europe and see what they can do about it.
This type of thing would never happen in any other country, when is Britain to get it's back bone back, that back bone that made Britain Great?

Good question, AOG, and "Why hasn't he been sent back on his first being refused?" is the natural supplementary question. Either we have laws or we don't. If we don't, then we should have some. If we do, then they should be enforced. We manage well enough with other laws, from driving disqualified to Revenue ones, and most others.

In answer to your specific question as to why he has not been sent home. I don't know but personally, if you are seeking asylum and you have your case heard and your application is turned down, you should be sent back to your country of origin.
It should be a one shot deal.
The vans were a daft idea because what would they ever achieve? Let's take someone who has travelled here from Somalia or Afghanistan. They work have either paid a people smuggler or somehow made their way here in the back of (or even underneath) vans and lorries.
Now...say if after all that, they're walking down a local high street and they see a van that says, "Go home", are they really going to think..."Hmmm, yes - perhaps I should".
No - the posters were more for the British electorate, than illegal immigrants.
Also, AOG - it would help keep the debate on an even keel if you didn't conflate 'illegal immigrant' with 'asylum seeker'.
There are some who are both, but that doesn't necessarily make the terms synonyms.

There is a distinction between an asylum seeker and an illegal immigrant; Once someone is recognised by the authorities as an asylum seeker they are not illegal, for a start. Nor could they be considered an immigrant, since their status is still to be determined.
I do not quite understand why this man has had 4-5 appeals though. It was my understanding that the asylum process was much more streamlined than that, with only 1 appeal allowed. Curious to know where the other appeals have come from.

@ pixie There is a distinction, lg, but aog has used it correctly. An asylum seeker is fair enough. Being told, no, go home, makes him illegal. An immigrant is anyone who moves in from another country. So he is definitely an immigrant
Sorry, was getting a bit confused with the story - I had originally read the story as saying he was still part of the asylum seeker appeals process, whereas a second read suggests he has been through the appeals process ( although I still cannot quite fathom why 5 appeals) but is still residing here. That I do not understand.
