Immigration: " Deportation and Removal first, appeal later..."

The Home Secretary´s hostile immigration bill published on Thursday 10 October 2013 will enforce the government`s moves to curb access in the UK for illegal migrants and immigrants.

 Theresa May (in picture) is creating a really hostile environment for illegal immigrants and migrants. The bill on the immigration and asylum procedure is introducing the " deport first, appeal later" policy for thousands illegal immigrants and migrants facing removal or deportation from the UK and who face no " risk of serious irreversible harm" from being sent back home. Jamaica, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and many more are on the Home Office list of countries with " no risk".

On this policy, the Home Office would like to reduce the ground for appeal from 17 to 4. Those " failed asylum seekers" or  who asylum application has being refused "or being detained under the Immigration Act 1971 around the 10 Immigration Removal Centre around the country will have less chance to fight for their right to remain" legally" in the country.

 The bill also restrict the ability of immigration detainee to apply repeatedly for bail if they have already been refused it. 

The Home Office will create a stronger guidance for the Courts on the use of human rights laws to prevent deportation or removal from the country. 

Asylum seekers will not longer be able to apply for provisional driving licence under the new bill and even use their Asylum Registration Card (ARC) to open a simple bank account. The Home Secretary will have to explain in the House of Commons her bill and also how an illegal immigrant deported or removed from the UK will have the right to appeal from outside the country with an effect on public money as well.

 McCallum, Immigration lawyer based in Glasgow said " The Home Office always forget that people in immigration removal centre around the country can and have access to the European Court of Human Rights document and can easily use them in order to stop any legal action being taken against them in the country. It will be another long battle and time waiting for the government and a slightly gain for the illegal immigrant in detention.."

 Jock, one of  Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees` chairperson believes that " there is always a way to be engaged and acted in coordination with our legal team and experts on immigration law to help those in need and members of our organisation. We have to defeat any action  taken by the Conservatives". 

This bill will lead to a real risk of a widespread discrimination warned Margaret Woods, chairwoman of Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees.

Under the same bill, power have been given to the Immigration and Police Officers to use the " stop and search" power at certain location where intelligence has been provided.
