To the OP although it's quite true these headline grabbing crimes that have have been mentioned will result in deportation. How ever the most common cause of deportation is falling faul of the BI laws. Most being over staying and or totally disrespect of these people. We all need to remember they don't write the laws just enforce them. There are from memory now over 3 million visitors here each year, the percentage of deportations would be a tiny fraction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
