illegal immigrants from #pakistan arrested in UK

The UK Border Agency has arrested over 30 Pakistani nationals, in a series of enforcement operations across the UK.

Steps are now being taken to remove the majority of the illegal workers from the UK. According to a press release from the British High Commission, Carol Doughty, Regional Director, UK Border Agency Pakistan and the Gulf, said.

In March, raids in Castleford and Luton led to the arrest of six immigration offenders who were caught working illegally in the UK. Two males, a 23-year-old Bangladeshi and a 51-year-old Pakistani national, were arrested for working illegally in separate takeaways in the Castleford area.

In Luton, four Pakistanis men were caught by the UK Border Agency, working illegally at two takeaways in Luton. Immigration checks at the first premises revealed one staff member – a 36-year-old Pakistani man who was working as a cook – had overstayed his visa. At the second business, three members of staff – all Pakistani men – were found to be working illegally. A 54-year-old and a 48-year-old had both overstayed their visas, while another 48-year-old man was found to have entered the country illegally.

Specially trained officers from the UK Border Agency, who conduct immigration checks on staff, carried out both raids. All four businesses were served with civil penalty notices worth a total of up to £10,000 for each person found working illegally unless they can prove that the correct pre-employment checks had been carried out.

A vast majority of immigrants to UK, both legal though mostly illegal, come from pakistan. They seek to escape their lives of misery in pakistan, seeking to enjoy a more comfortable life elsewhere. Yet, despite leaving pakistan & settling elsewhere, they refuse to integrate with the society they have settled in, ending up form ghetto communities, predominantly inhabited by pakistanis. Their continued insistence on abiding by their customs & practices, often lead to friction and antagonism with the local, indigenous population of the place, who view these practices contrarian to their own. Places inhabited by pakistani immigrants, also witness an unusual spurt in violence and crimes against the local, indigenous population.

pakistani immigrants inability/refusal to blending and peacefully co-habit with others & their propensity to indulge in crimes & violence, makes pakistani immigrants unwelcome in most parts of the world, making it very difficult for them to travel.
