Home Office cleaners were illegal immigrants

[Haver]

Five illegal immigrants have been arrested under the Immigration Act while working as cleaners in the Home Office, it has emerged.

 

The five Nigerians were working as cleaners in an office of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate - the Home Office department responsible for the removal of illegal immigrants from the UK.

It certainly a bit much when Blairs threatening to deport everyone, seemingly just 'cause he feels like it.

Surley the home office should be charged for giving employeement to them, just like any other company would.

They probably just employ a cleaning company and they are the ones employing the immigrants.

 

Edit: Read the story and that's exactly what it was. At work we have cleaners and it's not like you have huge chats with them. They arrive at about the time everyone else is leaving and it's not like "Hi, how are you, whereisyourpassportplease?" It's more like "cheers" as they empty my bin and that's it.

The fact remains though, the Home Office has failed to succesfully identify illegal immigrants working in this country - if they can't find the ones working in their own offices, how good a job can they possibly be doing finding others elsewhere?

Gag, I think Odwin explained well enough why these folks weren't discovered earlier.

 

It's not as if everyone employed by the home office is like, an Immigrant Finder Generale.
