'Go Home' vans could be introduced across Britain, says immigration ministe

[vostok]

‘Go Home’ vans could be introduced across Britain, the Immigration Minister has said.
Controversial vans telling illegal migrants to leave country or face arrest could appear in more British cities, reveals Mark Harper.
The controversial vans, which carry posters telling illegal migrants to leave the country or face arrest, could appear in more British cities following a trial in London, Mark Harper said.
During July, they were driven around the London boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Barnet, Brent, Ealing and Hounslow for a week.
Labour accused ministers of "borrowing the language" used by the National Front in the 1970s.
The poster displayed a picture of handcuffs and read: "In the UK illegally?... GO HOME OR FACE ARREST."
The Advertising Standards Agency has cleared the campaign of being offensive but ruled the statistics carried on the van were inaccurate.
Mr Harper said the vans would be rolled out to other areas if the pilot, which is now being evaluated, was deemed to be effective.
“I don’t see any problem with saying to people who have no right to be in the United Kingdom they can’t be here anymore,” he told BBC Question.
“If it’s successful we’ll look at rolling it out, if it’s not successful, we won’t,” he said.
The campaign caused tensions within the Coalition. Vince Cable, the business secretary, said it was “stupid and offensive”. Jeremy Browne, the home office minister who has since lost his job, said he would not allow them to come back.
Separately, a Home Office text message campaign accusing people of being illegal immigrants has received 140 complaints after some people were contacted in error.
Officials have sent messages to almost 40,000 people they suspect of not having a right to be in the UK, instructing them to contact border officials to discuss their immigration status.
Fourteen people had been incorrectly contacted, the Home Office said.
Ministers commissioned Capita, the outsourcing company, to trace people believed to have outstayed their visas.

It causes unnecessary tension & for what so that Illegals can feel scared?

They should also institute rewards for citizens who denounce illegals,with bonuses like if you denounced 10 you get an extra jackpot.

So when they find an illegal are they going to lock him in that van ?

Are these vans not going to be rotten vegetable/fruit magnets in ethnic neighborhoods?

Are you asking people to Snitch on each other?

Illegals are breaking the law,so yes,i'm asking honest citizens to uphold the law and report the offenders.I see nothing wrong in abiding by the law.Are you asking people not to denounce a thief/terrorist/criminal/rapist/etc if they know his whereabouts ? Don't come with "illegals are not terrorists",they're breaking the law like any other offenders and they should face the consequences.

14 or 140 out of 40.000 does not seem to be a high ratio of errors for people to be feeling the heat.

It may seem harsh, but perhaps it's the only way.
