/// And to tackle it the Home Office has confirmed illegal immigrants are now being offered £2,000 each to leave as well as a flight home paid for by British taxpayers. ///

The article states that: According to the latest figures there's been a 41 per cent jump in the amount of asylum claims in the past year with people flooding in from Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Syria respectively.

Why Pakistan, are they not part of the commonwealth?

And what is stopping the relatives of those who are now bona fide British subjects, from visiting them on holiday, then claiming asylum, and later offered £2,000 and a flight back home, by the British government?

Nice cheap holiday if you can get it.

...and what's to stop them coming back again...over and over again?

Perhaps we could fingerprint them, and keep a data bank on them?

[jackthehat]

Fingerprints will be able to sort out any returnees who can then be shipped back home without ceremony.

What's to stop them claiming it and coming back a few months later? Couldn't see anything in the article about this.

You won't it is a comment on the mad cap issue set out in the article.

There that wasn't too difficult.

[dunnitall]

AOG......if it's not against their human rights of course....(smile)

'There that wasn't too difficult.'

Why the snidey comment?

I must have caught it from some of the company I keep on AB.

But if you are upset about it, I do apologise.

I just thought you were experiencing difficulties, with the thread and some of the answers.

[Zacs-Master]

Apology accepted. 'twas just a practical question.

[naomi24]

I don't understand why we're politely 'asking' illegal immigrants to accept money to leave and not just shipping them out.

What about a branding iron logo on the forehead!!!!

[Mamyalynne]

Good grief.

[1rovert]

I would brand them with a hot iron, on the forehead, that would show if the come around twice. Also if they returned to the country again.

Funny that, coming from a person who is forever supporting those who still live their lives in the middle ages.
