Immigration: Detention of Children
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for that reply, and I welcome her to her new high ministerial office and wish her well for the future. When does she expect to be able to end child detention for immigration purposes? Does she not agree that it would be a signal success for the new Government if there could be an early announcement that ended the practice? Is there any chance of her being able to do that sensibly before the House rises for the Summer Recess?

[There is another Charter Flight to Nigeria this Thursday. Nigeria lacks the capacity to establish and maintain political institutions, secure their population from violent conflict, control their territories and meet the basic needs of their population.

Most illegal migrants likely to be white

24-05-2010 22:35 | Migration | Birmingham | World

If there is uncontrolled immigration, it is because the immigration authorities know that the people wants it. And it's not because of cheap labour, or silly conspiracy theories about undermining British culture. It is because of racial solidarity among white people.
