As the title says, illegal advantage taking thieves. Why on earth arent they being deported back to Jamaica? Just don’t understand why were so soft on these sort of people!

article says they managed to avoid the immigration authorities for 16 years

presumably they can be sent back after serving their sentences?

As put by a certain character...

Jamaica, famous for nothing but "Marley, marijuana and murder".

Why arent they being deported instead of put in prision costing us more money is my point.

 

[Malevolence]

More to the point, why were people, not just these two illegal parasites, given insane amounts of free money at the tax-payers expense and why did nobody bother to question it?

This, but not blaming them. The whole thing was a ****show from start to finish.

Opens up so many cans of worms when it comes to looking after our own.

They committed a crime and are getting punished for it. Or do you want them to walk free?

I would be amazed if they don't get deported at end of their sentences

 

[Roar87]

I'd be happier if they served their prison sentences before being deported

They’ll get a lawyer to fight it and it will drag on for ages.

Avoiding immigration authorities for 16 years!! The system obviously is not working.

This is the thing. I bet they've been picked up numerous times, but rather than being transported straight to a detention facility to await immediate deportation they were just let go on their own recognisance after promising to make their own way there.

Usually they get deported after prison. I guess because if they just deported them, they would effectively get off scot-free.

Surely being deported is punishment ?

At the cost of £40,000 per person per year I'd say just deport them now and save the tax payer £120,000

It's probably that government policy towards illegal immigration was that it was fine, just look at the the USA now Trump is trying enforce immigration laws that have existed all along (just not enforced properly) and the establishment is attacking him for it. The Democrats are even trying to get their supporters to fight against ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). May doesn't have the balls to do anything that will likely provoke such a backlash.

Another reason for having a detention camp abroad for people who don't deserve our 'Grade A' prison service.

 

[Dis86]

Does Jamaica not have prisons?

We have one, Diego Garcia.
