Court Cases Expose Government Claims of “Border Control” as a Farce

* Iraqi drug dealing invader deported for second time;

* Zimbabwean invader jailed for forged documents, but granted Home Office leave to stay for four more years.

On the same day that the Government has claimed new success in securing Britain’s borders, two court cases have revealed these claims to be an outright lie.

In the first case, a drug-dealing Iraqi invader was ordered deported for the second time, and in the second, a Zimbabwean forger was jailed for forged immigration documents while simultaneously being granted permission to stay in Britain.

Hunar Jalal Ahmed was initially escorted back to Iraq in February 2007 after he served part of a three-year prison sentence for selling heroin and cocaine in the Blackburn area. Police said the 24-year-old returned to Britain illegally and was this week detained by police following a stop-and-check on a car in Brookhouse Lane, Whalley Range.

Officers found 12 wraps of a powdered substance, thought to be heroin and cocaine, inside the Toyota Corolla when it was stopped at midday on Monday. Two other men were also questioned by police. A 19-year-old man is currently on police bail pending further inquiries and analysis of the substance and a 26-year-old man was released without charge.

Kurdish-speaking Ahmed, who was arrested in 2004 as part of Operation Nimrod’s crackdown on Class A drug rings in East Lancashire, will now be deported back to Iraq again.

Detective Inspector Joanne Lightbown, of Blackburn police, said: “This man should not have been in this country.”

Zimbabwean Hazel Moyo, 36, an illegal invader who used false documentation and lied about her right to work in the UK has been jailed for six months — but has been given Home Office permission to stay here for another four years.

Moyo earned £48,817 working as an NHS healthcare worker since 2005 with two separate health authorities. A judge at Guildford Crown Court heard she got a job at South London and Maudsley NHS Trust in February 2005 after lying about her working rights.

In April 2007 she gave a false national insurance card to Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust again claiming she had the right to work in the country.

She was asked to confirm some detail and her employers became suspicious. When she was visited by police they found her passport contained a false stamp giving the holder indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

The government department was fully aware she faced serious charges likely to lead to a prison term and possible deportation. But despite this they issued her with paperwork allowing her limited leave to stay until 2011.

It was later found that the false vignette related to a Somalian male and Moyo told police she had paid a man named only as Alan £1,500 for that and the NI card. She was sentenced to six months for each of the three counts against her to run concurrently. No order for deportation was made.

* Official figures say that last year there were 570,000 illegal immigrants living in the UK, with more than 24,000 people being prevented from actually entering the country. Over 4,000 criminals were deported back to their country of birth.

In April this year the Home Office set up the United Kingdom Border Agency to crack down on the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country. During the first six months of 2008, some 32,230 people were removed from the UK, up 6% from the first half of 2007. Within this figure the number of non-asylum removals increased — going from 23,195 to 26,275, a rise of 13%.

In 2007, some 23,430 people applied for asylum in Britain, all from Third World countries. All of these applicants crossed dozens of ‘safe’ countries before reaching Lab/Con soft-touch Britain.
