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

Not only that is a stupid argument, it is a dangerous one.

You have effectively opened the door to other justifications. How about weakness, for one? If you are weak, you should be lord over by foreigners. It was used in the past, now you tacitly said it can be used again in the present.

It begs the question of why there are illegal immigrants in the first place. Did these people entered, legally or illegally, the modern day democratic Britain because of what Imperial Britain did a couple hundred years ago? I doubt it and I doubt they even cared for that far back in history. People do not abandon their lands because of history but because of wealth, or at least the potential for wealth. Not the palatial and butler-ed kind of wealth, but the kind that would make even an incremental increase over their current living conditions.

There is a great difference between being an immigrant versus being a temporary worker. An immigrant is one who intends to take roots in the country. He does it because he feels this country have far better opportunities than the one he is currently living under, or the one he left behind. Roots that WILL involve deeper community relationships, usually deeply emotional ones such as marriage and politics. A temporary worker do not care for these emotional relationships but only one -- money.

This has nothing to do with historical wrongs. If you do not like the current Britain -- leave.

The UK is a country that plays a double-game when it comes to immigration.

It actually allows any and all to come into their country, both EU and non-EU but then pretends itself the innocent victim of this immigration.

This scheme is just a smoke-screen to fool the gullible public that the Tories actually care about curbing illegal immigrants, when all they care about is protecting the interests of
their rich friends who need the immigrants to provide a never-ending source of cheap labour.

^^^ I don't think UK has a choice to refuse EU residents from entering UK. It is the law. UK is a member of the EU.

Can't comment on the non-EU people.

UK is doing right thing. Laws must be upheld by countries. Illegals regardless of background must be deported.

Its their country their rules. If they don't want illegals then who are we to say otherwise?

x2 ,minus the xenophobia part.Desperate times,desperate measures..
I might add more to the romanian immigrants issue because the problem is more complex then the fairy tale "EU gave Romania money",many romanian own bussinesses,romanian industry took a hit and fell when we got into the EU because of the new legislation bringing unemployement with their demise,but that's another topic.Plus,they sure are happy in taking the doctors/nurses/engineers away but go emotional for the rest of the menial workers.

there is no desperate time here in UK. People are unwilling to do any hard labour here. Even in recession life cant be any better (compared to 70s and 80s), most older people agree that.
UK is also shielded from most migration as its an island, and not very easy to get into. (unlike Greece or Italy)

Anyway, the ads have been withdrawn and they have decided to do away with it. It was really stupid, even UKIP ( a right wing party with only anti immigration agenda) called it disturbing and fascist.

Offensive or not....the idea is stupid....what is the aim of the ad campaign....telling the illegals that they are illegals??As if they do not know!

The UK had a choice to delay entry for poles for 7 extra years like France and Germany did
But they chose not to.

The current Conservative government is talking tough on non-EU immigration
But then goes to India and says Indian students are welcome - lol.

^^^It sounds like your government is pretty incoherent policy-wise.
I hears stories about Romas squatting in caravan parks and benefit cheats from other Eu countries.
What a mess.

They are a bunch of totally corrupt self-serving morons.

All they care about is enriching their personal pockets.

Illegal immigrants have know right to be here for obvious reasons so this sends a stern message.
