....OK so I've extrapolated a little...

May will make clear in the new rules that a right to family life will not prevent the deportation of a foreign national who has been convicted of a criminal offence, has breached immigration rules or cannot maintain themselves or their family.

That effectively means everyone without a British birth certificate and is unemployed, or even on low pay or decent pay but struggles due to having a disabled child could theoretically be deported. :eek:

Listen I'm no hippie, and don't have an issue with immediate deportation of all convicted foreign criminals, but to be able to deport someone just because they're poor, regardless of whether they've done anything wrong or not sounds scary?

What May wants to make clear and what the actual law says will probably turn out to be very different things.
 
Good thing the ECHR will overrule if we begin deporting refugees from dangerous lands back to the very places they are escaping.

Oh wait. No they won't, because we're going to abolish that.

Are you stating that all people without British passports are criminals?

Edit: Slight misreading, I need some sleep. I missed the , and thought it was a case of purely if they have a criminal conviction. Which I would not have a problem with.

Seems reasonable to me? Should extend it to British nationals that have been out of work for over 12 months without good reason too!
 
You already can't bring your non EU spouse here if you earn less than £18,600 and can't afford a £1000 visa, British plebs can't have love in their homeland. But if you are a non British EU pleb you can bring any nationality spouse for free, which many are doing in scam marriages.

Where on earth (literally, it turns out) do you expect to be able to deport a British national to?

The Aussie's won't have them any more.
 
I may catch some flak for this but as someone that has to rely on benefits to top up his meagre wages and as someone who for the past few years has struggled ridiculously trying to live off of benefits I welcome this.

Well that foreigners shouldn't be able to claim benefits from this country anyway, I don't want to see anyone in genuine need suffer needlessly but from my point of view. What I've witnessed at the local job centre, and from the sheer number of unemployed foreign claimants who live in my area who appear to have no desire to work something needs to be done.

However I'm also of the opinion that anyone, regardless of where they were born, who has no intention of working when capable should not be entitled to claim benefits.
 
We allow people in because they might be useful,
if they are unemployed then they are not useful, so they can go home again and stop making the place look untidy.

Basically this is getting shot of all the unskilled or unemployable, so a good thing.

Now we just need to find an excuse to get rid of the overly religious (and the gingers)
