You have the Power to Stop Deportations
You will need Courage, Persistence and Faith
An Anti-Deportation Campaign involves organizing resistance to restrictive immigration legislation, and simply means making the government change their minds regarding an individual case.

Alpha Mbodi and family
Alpha Mbodi and family are safe in Sheffield
"Good news for all the asylum seekers who continue to fight to stay here. Alpha Mbodi and his two sons heard yesterday afternoon that they have been given indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
"I am certain that they would have been forcibly removed without the campaign that we organised and we must thank each and everyone of you for all the help and support you gave. Without it we would have been really lost.
"We will continue supporting other asylum seekers in the future especially those who are on the point of being forcibly removed."
Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Best wishes
Sheena for Alpha Mobdi & Family Campaign

Belgium launches amnesty for illegals

The Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy (Flemish Christian democrat) has released the details of the Federal Government agreement on the regularisation of illegals
In order to be successful, applicants will have to show they are integrated into the community.
Illegals who have lived in Belgium for at least five years will be able to apply for a regularisation of their situation between 15 September and 15 December.
If successful, they will be granted papers that will allow them to stay in the country legally.
It is the Secretary of State for Asylum and Immigration, Melchior Wathelet (Francophone Christian democrat), who has the final say.
People who been working in Belgium for at least two years and a half can also apply for a residence permit. They will have to produce a labour contract and a regional labour card.
Other factors that can count in applicants' favour include anguage skills, following a literacy course or having children at school.
"Where is the clarity?"
Bar the ecologists of Groen! all opposition parties have slated the regularisation. The Government had promised clarity regarding the regularisation criteria. All opposition parties say that no clarity has been provided.
They also argue that the Asylum and Immigration Secretary has been given too much discretion.
The Asylum and Migration Forum that defends the interests of illegals has welcomed the accord.
It says that the one-off regularisation will provide a solution for many foreigners who have been living in Belgium in pitiful circumstances for many years.
