It's quite sad really. The Guardian did a series on poverty in London and it really shows that the government have no clue how to handle this crisis effectively. They cap housing-benefit (largely immigrant-oriented in London), evict loads of families who can't afford the raised rents, but then councils/tax-payers end up paying more cash than before to house them in hotels/hostels because by law these people cannot be homeless. Eeek.

I agree with taking measures but using money to dictate who can/can't enter the UK is not fair to those with plenty of sense but no cash.


I think the money issue applies to short term stay..tourist and business visiting visa holders and the money will be paid back when you leave the UK

If we had a govt, the simplest thing to do is to impose a fee on every British citizen coming into the country including the queen and prime minister!, the fee must be payable at the airport before they pass through immigration. If found not to be holding the right visa for their purpose they should be deported and forfeit the deposit, if they misbehave, are arrested, found to be involved with prostitutes, constitute a nuisance, refuse to pay their hotel bill, refuse to pay for services or short pay workers, refuse to pay a driver or an errand man/woman, die in the country and taken to the morgue without health-care.

I still wonder. What price could ever be effective enough to deter potential illegal immigrants?
You cannot charge £150 to enter and expect illegal immigrants to cry over losing that cash when the fact they have paid it meant they passed border control and can now carry out their original plan. Not to mention the hit they will have on their head if they don't pay whoever loaned them that cash. Business as usual.

But a potential tourist travelling with a family and on a budget? The fee means a lot more to them imo, esp if the price was per person. I suppose it's all hypothetical now anyway undecided

jackbauersballs: I personally am siding with Britain on this one...

It is a relatively small country and immigration is a big problem...go to places like Ealing or Southall in southwest London and you would be forgiven for thinking you took a wrong train and ended up in Bombay!

Recent census statistics show that for the first time, Ethnic Britons are a minority in London. Imagine having more Ghanians living in Abuja than actual Nigerians...

Anybody that lives in Britain knows that immigration is a serious problem that is affecting everybody...including us immigrants.

Do you know the populations of Indians and Pakistanis in the UK? Compare that to that of Africans. UK is deriving a lot from India and have laxed their immigration rules concerning this country. Percentage of Africans granted visa is infinitesimal to that of India and other non-African countries. Though Indians are in the billions, the ratio of granting visa to them outweigh the rest.

UK is bias towards Africa, Nja in particular.

actually the greater fear right now is from eastern European EU states (Romania, Poland..), and other whites from countries where the economy is the pits (Spain, Italy..). Browns, well, thats pretty much unchanged imo wink

I have for a very long time been observing your comments. You seem to agree with anything the UK govt is doing; their policies, aggression,bias, discrimination to name a few. I have nothing against you, but you don't just support anything without critically weighing the matter. You said you have no clue about a post a guy posted, quick question, are you even a Nigerian? ..No disrespect.

Ma'am i've seen enough youtube videos and read plenty of opinions online of British folks.
They would take Eastern Europeans, Frenchmen, even American whites who they clearly can't stand over the most decent and well behaved African/Caribbean. The gov't and the people feel like there are too many people of color in Europe. Their beef with E. Europe is political, but theirs with YOU and other "black britons" grin is racial.

Lmao....lies

The major problem with immigration from an ethnic Britons point of view is integration...

Afro-carribeans have the highest rates of communal integration in Britain...

There's the racial issue admittedly and that will never go away...But both blacks and whites are wary of Asians...

But most of all, everyone HATES the Polish

The money issue will be fair if done properly..... The case should be different for each visa category
It wont be a flat arrangement across all types of visa!

Ok. But note, the Britons do not openly criticize their govt regardless of what is happening in their country or how bad and corrupt their govt is. They support their own and are very patriotic. You seem to be British than Nigerian.

You are a dunce, your thinking and comment above is daft... Britain is not starving ... It will be an effective way of curbing illegal migration, if implemented well!
They dont need the money to feed on or prop thier economy ... It is simply an "insurance" to cushion the strain on the public resources likely to happen if people default on thier entry visa terms and conditions!
If you abide by the regulations and respect the terms and conditions of your visa, you will get your money back!
What difference is this to going to borrow some money in a financial institution who insists on a collateral?!

That is a lie, they openly and confrontationally criticize their Govt..on radio, TV, newspapers, social networking sites and even on the street.
