if the authorities did a sweep and round them up, why can they not be sent back home. some may want that, realising that it's a hard life here, and that what they were promised by the people traffickers just isn't so.
/// Both were told they would be automatically deported after serving their sentences ///
Of course they will, but it states that the female is the mother of three children, won't deporting her stop here from enjoying the 'right to a family life'?
they can and do disappear into the underbelly of the city, some may be as unhappy here as they were perhaps in their home countries, but find no way to get out. If they have paid monies to traffickers to get them here, then that money would have to be paid back, catch 22.
