If you name them and give their place of origin.............then what is keeping you from sending them back. Staying here will only makes our lives more difficult.

Why, oh why are ILLEGAL immigrants given suspended sentence and not deported straight away?

Are the authorities waiting for the violence to escalate to the Brixton and Paris level before any action is taken?
