The Labour government points out this was a 73% increase compared to January last year - when the Conservatives were in power - and 352 arrests were made across 556 visits.
Labour have been emphasising border security since its election, recognising that the topic is one of the most important to voters - and not wanting to lose ground to the Tories or Reform UK.

Some 3,930 arrests have been made over 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers since July when Labour took over, according to Home Office figures.
The number of arrests highlighted today happened after a series of raids at businesses like restaurants, takeaways, cafes, car washes, nail bars and vape shops.

I don't understand how the citizens of nations have been taken over by the WEF and the UN with these massive invasions of illegals. At first it may have been seen as a kindness to offer a better life to some poor folks. But we have been set up to have our own laws used against us with these invasions. We are called racists or cruel to shame us into accepting them. Getting them out is more difficult than allowing them in.
 
Great to hear @Smithy ! It is nice to see the Globalists losing ground in many nations. Our President Obama kept kids in cages and deported many illegals, but nothing was said at the time. After Biden opened our borders indiscriminately, Trump is trying to correct the issue and is being raked over the coals. Hopefully we can both get our countries back and our borders under control.
 
It's difficult to provide a precise daily average for immigrants entering the UK, as data is typically collected annually or on a yearly basis, not daily. However, in the year ending June 2024, net migration (arrivals minus departures) was 728,000.

First world nations are being in invaded and changed. Nobody is ' seeking asylum' who breaks into a nation, it is criminal invasion and should not be allowed, much less rewarded.

I grew up on a great nation, my children or their children will not if the new leadership fails we are soon to be negatively changed forever.
 
The UK's Islamic tilt seems really bizarre to me. My knee doesn't automatically jerk against them based on general ideology, but it almost sounds like somebody wants to make this the main culture of the UK.

I doubt that's simply due to the number of new arrivals in the country, or am I wrong? Aren't there also a raft of Eastern Europeans there now and who knows who else?

Not to mention, for every person deported for whatever reason, that usually creates a job opening that no American want to take. Americans picking melons in the desert in 100° plus heat, not a very realistic idea.

Generally a myth. There have been work crews from Mexico for decades. No MS-13 or TDA members are working the fields. Ag workers are always thrown up by the left. They never mention manufacturing or construction jobs. Unfortunately, whenever one employer starts to cheat, any competitors also have to cheat, as you can't pay American wages and compete against Mexican wages. You either have to cheat or go bankrupt. That "Jobs Americans won't do" is just a silly mantra of the Left. The real story is that Americans won't work for Mexican wages.
 
There are so, so many illegals in America, it's unbelievable. Companies have hired them either knowing they were undocumented , had fake documents or companies simply didn't care. Many wanted cheap labor, like the companies that hired all of the Haitians in that one city. The Haitians showed up and took the jobs Americans in the city had. One company stated, "they work for much lower pay, work harder than Americans and show up for work".

One of the biggest problems I see and don't understand is..........why so many illegals just didn't want to become American citizens. They got more government benefits that they wouldn't get if they became legal?

Now, on the other side of that coin, there are those fighting the Trump Administration to keep illegals in America. Sounds very stupid to me!
 
Illegals are now to be under a $998 fine of some sort. I don't remember whether it is weekly or monthly. It is also said, that those who do not self-deport will lose any assets acquired while they were here. If they self-deport, they can leave their houses and cars and such with relatives who are here legally until those leaving can re-enter legally. We'll see how that works.

Melons don't grow in the desert.

We have had legal Mexicans working in crops for many years. They are hard workers and are now paid well. Some of them return home at the end of the growing season and some of them are permanent legal residents. They are not the problem. The problem is the ones who are living on the government teat.

Are you sure?

California Cantaloupe

GROWING REGIONS

California – Our Nation’s Fruit Basket

California cantaloupe produces about 75 percent of all cantaloupes grown in the nation. California cantaloupes are grown in two main regions – the Southern Desert Area and on a 200-mile long stretch on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley from Bakersfield to Sacramento. The San Joaquin Valley growing area is where most of the cantaloupes in California are grown. Westside cantaloupes are planted in early April through mid-summer and harvest takes place between June and October. Cantaloupes from the desert growing region are harvested in April through early July and then again in mid-October through early December.

All cantaloupes from California are produced in regions with weather that is hot and dry. Rain-free summers in California growing regions along with careful field preparation and irrigation practices by growers keep the cantaloupe dry to ensure that melon rinds develop properly.

Deportation Fears Impact California's Citrus Harvest

Immigration enforcement operations in parts of California are having a negative impact on farms across the state as a large percentage of workers who harvest various fruits and vegetables are not showing up for work.

The Sierra Sun Times reported the farm owned by Peter Belluomimi, a grower and packer of lemons, mandarin oranges, and navel oranges, recently had only five of 30 workers come to work. Those that are staying home are concerned about the immigration operations.

The lack of workers comes at a bad time for Belluomimi, who is in the midst of harvesting the three crops that end up on the shelves of grocers such as Kroger and Trader Joe’s.

While able to fill orders with items in cold storage, he said, “If this went on for a whole week instead of two or three days, it would start to have more of an impact on us.”
 
Our government has a self-deportation app that is available in several different languages, and they are encouraging all of the illegals to self-deport, so that they do not have to be arrested and deported that way.
If the person self-deports, they are given a free plane ride back to their home country, as well as $1,000 to help them relocate, and they are eligible to return to the United States if they then get proper documentation to return, as a worker or student, or whatever permit is on the visa they receive.

If they do not deport, and they happen to be living or working at the same place where were are arresting and deporting a criminal illegal, then they can /will be arrested and deported , and they lose whatever they have here in the US if they are deported that way, and can never get any kind o f a legal visa to return.

ICE is also starting to charge companies for hiring illegals, so many of the places where they are now working will not be somewhere they can continue to work. Also, Tennessee has now made it a crime for a landlord to rent to an illegal, so they will soon be losing their housing as other states pass that same law.

Trump Says Working on Temporary Pass for Migrant Farm, Hotel Workers​


President Trump said the administration is working on a "temporary pass" for migrant workers in certain industries, including farms and hotels.
The comments come as the Trump administration continues its nationwide immigration sweep aimed at rounding up people who are in the U.S. without authorization. He told Fox's Maria Bartiromo in an interview that while he doesn't "back away" in the immigration enforcement effort, he wants to ensure that farmers feel more in charge of their labor force.

"When we go into a farm and we take away people that have been working there for 15 and 20 years who possibly came in incorrectly,” he said. "And you end up destroying a farmer, because you took all the people away. It’s a problem.”
Trump didn't offer further details on the temporary pass program.

Seems many nations are falling for the change of their cultures and laws.
Who would have ever imagined London would have a Moslem mayor.
Culture clashes all over the world now so guess its just the way it is, song;;).
 
We are called racists or cruel to shame us into accepting them.
Based on how they go about it, I agree. It is racist. I look at it like this, deport illegals IF they have been convicted of crimes here, but not if they are hard working people with no criminal record and families to take care of. But sadly, that is not how it's done.

Getting them out is more difficult than allowing them in.
While that is true, in my opinion, it costs far more as well. First, the cost of deporting one immigrant worker is negligible in comparison to how many tax dollars they generate. Take hotel workers for example. It costs the hotel about $200 a day to pay someone to clean 15 rooms, in many cases those room might have additional taxes per night, from an average normal area industry standard rate of $125 plus tax per day.

Many places have Transient Occupancy Tax (commonly referred to as TOT or "Bed Tax") rates as high as 20% to 30% of combined taxes on rental fees. For example, in Humboldt County it's 12%, and Eureka (for just one of many cities in the county) adds in another 10% for a combined total of 22%. In Los Angeles County it's also 12% but the city of Long Beach (again, just one of many cities in the county) adds another 13%, for a combined total of 25%.

Then of course, there are hotels in parks or other high rate areas, and they generate even more money per day per employee, with the same pay as a standard area. As another example, Mariposa County it's 12% and in Yosemite Valley (Yosemite National Park) is also 12%, but the daily room rates might be much higher.

People have expenses too, so people who make minimum wage (or less) then spend their money on food, transportation, housing, etc. While the manager of even a standard area Hotel may have a fancy car, better quality food and a nicer home in comparison.

These are just a couple of examples of money made as a result of having low cost workers, be they legal or not. When you add up all of the tax dollars they generate themselves and taxes based on whatever they do, it actually costs considerably more to deport some who is contributing to society as opposed to someone who really does not deserve to be here.

Note: These comparisons don't include other expenses, such as other room related workers, like desk clerks, auditors, maintenance, etc., or things like property tax, management, etc, which hotels have to pay for even if they have no guests.

Actually, they are going after criminals first. Most of them already had deportation orders following criminal trial. There is nothing "racist" about it except that the vast majority came from Latin America or were imported here by Biden from Haiti, Africa, etc.

And after that... "hard working" or not, illegal is illegal. They broke the law. They are not eligible for employment here by law, so they've broken the law again.

There just isn't anything to discuss here. It is all cut and dried, there aren't any shades of grey.

Once we get the counting of illegals by Census stricken from the counts for districting and representation and Electoral College votes, perhaps it might be worth considering changes to immigration law. Prior to that things are too distorted though and there is a one-sided political incentive behind open borders.

I know of Brits who have been deported myself. They try to pull this stunt all the time, as do Canadians.

There is nothing "racist" about border control.

We have had Hispanic people here working, legally, for well over 50 years, that i can remember, and I believe that it has been much longer than that. They all knew they had to get the work visa to come here and work, and that is what they did, and what they can still do.
The problem is not that they are living here and working here, it is that they are not following the due process to do that legally, and they are being sneaked into the country illegally.

Even if they are here and working, it is not just generating tax money. Most of the illegals are being paid in cash, under the table, with NO taxes being paid, and they send money back to Mexico, or whatever country they arrived here from.
Bunches of them do not work at all, and they draw money, free rent, food allotment, and medical coverage . Those people are nothing at all except a cash drain on our government finances. Even if they are actually working, they do this, because they are paid in cash and show no income on paper.

The other thing that is import at here, is that …..unlike immigrants who have come to America in years past….. these people do not want to become Americans.
They do not want to speak our English language, they fly their Mexican flag, and then burn the American flag and riot in the streets when told they have to leave and go back home.
If they hate this country this much, and want to love the flag of another country, they should go back and live in that other country.

I have no problem with people coming here that do it legally, and who want to assimilate into our culture and work here, so this is not about race at all, it is about being here legally and not coming here as a criminal. There is NO reason we should ever allow the criminals and gang members of any other country to be here in America.
