What's to be done?

Well, if you've gotten this far in this article, you've already taken the first step - enlightenment. A global demographic war is being waged against the homogeneous, predominantly Christian-European cultures by way of immigration, among other globalist weapons of mass cultural destruction. If you're a European, or someone of traditional European heritage, then you now also know that YOU are on the endangered species list, if our government's current policies are allowed to continue. As Prof. MacDonald put it, "ethnic groups unable to influence immigration policy in their own interests will eventually be displaced or reduced in relative numbers by groups able to accomplish this goal."

Step two is to close the floodgates. The Immigration Act of 1965, for example, must be repealed immediately. No more anti-European racial or country quotas. Zero immigration may be a nice ultimate goal, but in the meantime, immigration should be allowed strictly on a case by case basis, using proven economic needs of specific indigenous business sectors as guideposts. Only highly-skilled immigrants who can either support themselves, or entrepreneurs who can create additional jobs, should be allowed in.

Step three is to start to reverse the tide. Repatriate all immigrants who are living on the dole, i.e., whom the domestic taxpayers and businesses are supporting. But first, we should give the globalist liberals a chance to put their money where their mouths are. They should put up or shut up. We should allow the establishment elite to "save" any such would-be-deportees by hiring them into their PRIVATE businesses. Don't be surprised to see that their words were much louder than their deeds.

Step four is to formulate a sensible immigration policy for the future. For every factory or other production facility the Big Business brings back home from places like China, Mexico or other foreign countries, for example, a company could earn a proportional quota of SKILLED immigrants which it may also import. No new domestic jobs; no cheap immigrant labor. Conversely, for every domestic position cut, the company's immigrant quota would be proportionately reduced. Of course, the preceding would not stop the export of indigenous jobs overseas, but it would certainly raise the cost of doing it.
But that's protectionism, do we hear the globalist liberals scream? Of course, it is. Isn't that what governments are supposed to do - protect their citizens' interests?

 MIGRANT BABY BOOM> ====================

In Londonistan nearly half of newborns have mothers from other parts of the world. England has 20 percent of all newborns being born to a migrant mother. 1.5 million migrant babies are expected to be born before 2030 with another 14 million more migrants coming to the UK.

The number of Eastern Europeans flooding into Britain has soared to 700 a day.  Official figures show there are 579,000 Poles and other residents of former Soviet Bloc registered to work here.  This total does not include the self-employed, children or partners of migrants, who don't appear in the Government figures.  The true number is likely to stand at 800,000 - or one in every 75 people living in the UK.

Responding to today’s Interim report from the Independent Asylum Commission think-tank Migration Watch says that the document has completely ignored the fact that in recent years just over 60% of asylum claims in the UK have been rejected as not genuine.

‘Despite its official sounding title, this is a private initiative by a number of charities involved in asylum issues ‘said Sir Andrew Green, Migration Watch chairman.

‘Like them, we fully support a welcome for genuine refugees who are fleeing persecution. They now amount to only 3% of immigration but the extent of false claims and the failure to remove those concerned remain serious problems. If you set foot in Britain and say the word “asylum” you have an 80% chance of staying, more often than not illegally. No wonder they are still queuing up in Calais.

‘These uncomfortable facts are ignored in a report which implicitly assumes that all asylum seekers are genuinely seeking sanctuary from persecution when many are clearly economic migrants,’ he said.

Lawyers for the the Palestinian, named only as A for legal reasons, say the priniciples at stake in his case should apply to thousands of others in his position.

Although he has been refused permission to remain in the UK, he is prevented from returning home because of the current turmoil in the West Bank.

The outcome of the case will not apply to failed asylum seekers who can return home

Barrister, Stephen Knafler, for A, told Mr Justice Mitting that, at the moment, failed asylum seekers in a similar position to A are only entitled to free NHS treatment in emergency, life-threatening, situations.

However A has chronic liver disease, and says his local hospital in Middlesex, London, should treat him for his condition.

Mr Justice Mitting is not being asked to decide the case on the facts particular to A, but the wider issue of whether failed asylum seekers who cannot return home should get free NHS treatment.

It said the number of foreigners in council or housing association accommodation had soared over the past five years.

One in nine subsidised homes is now occupied by a migrant family. This figure though does not include those immigrants and asylum seekers that have been given British citizenship status over the recent decades and who are classified as ‘British Citizens’ thereby ensuring they are not included in this total. Estimates of the true numbers of immigrants using Council housing range from 20-30 % of the total numbers of the total council housing stock.

Widespread unlawful job practices, squalid housing, and a thriving trade in fake documents were uncovered.

More than 40 houses packed with illegal immigrants were identified in one square mile of Southall, west London.

The young, mostly male Punjabis are not here lawfully and, although most know the risks, they have few legal rights.

They are surrounded by forgers, criminals and ruthless employers. The investigation centered on Southall in west London. Among them, the team of undercover reporters met and filmed a man who called himself Vicki.

He was careful about his security - moving the car in which they talked away from CCTV cameras - but open about the fake documents he could obtain, and boasted about customers as far afield as Sheffield, Bradford and Coventry.

Vicki said he could get people into the country on lorries, known as donkeys, organised by what he called his "man in Paris", and told how he could provide a fake "original" passport that had been "checked" to beat security at a UK airport.

Chinese Dun Lun Hu, 36, was seized last Friday and held in police custody over the weekend after he was caught selling pirated DVDs. He then appeared before York magistrates but UK Border Agency officials did not bother to turn up to the hearing.

Instead they sent a letter asking him to travel to their offices in Sheffield, 70 miles away. But he has not been seen since.

The News of the World claimed that it had uncovered evidence showing that Home Office officials had been instructed to abandon any efforts to track them down or kick them out of the country.

Instead the huge number, equivalent to a city the size of Sheffield, will be allowed to settle here and work legally.

The decision has been taken because just 60 Immigration Service officials are reviewing a massive backlog of 660,000 applications for asylum.

Around 60,000 are believed to have already been deported, decided to leave, have died - or are awaiting deportation. But, with some applications dating back a decade, ministers have decided it is easier to let the rest stay.

Those who can be contacted will be sent a letter saying they will not be removed - but they will be told that if they leave Britain they cannot come back.

Ministers deny that the “legacy case review” is an amnesty. One said: “If they leave the country they won’t be allowed back in. However, many are now so well embedded in the community it would be a long, drawn-out process to get rid of them.”

But the decision is likely to encourage hundreds of thousands more migrants to travel to Britain, knowing they are unlikely to be removed .

New calculations show that the asylum industry – criticised last week by the new immigration minister, Phil Woolas – costs the taxpayer at least £105 million a year yet is plagued by unscrupulous legal advisers. A law firm in Brick Lane – the heart of London's Bangladeshi community – suggested its clients could buy a range of illegal services. "The firm offered a whole file with a new name and a concocted story that would be signed and sent to the Home Office," said a spokesman for
the UK Border Agency (UKBA), the arm of the Home Office responsible for controlling immigration. "They even offered an introduction to a man who could, it was claimed, alter their fingerprints." Another law firm in the capital submitted identical asylum statements for people claiming to be political refugees from North Korea, with only the name altered in each submission. During one appeal an asylum-seeker told the judge he was getting confused because he could not remember what his solicitor had told him to say.

==========================================================================================================================

Yet another 10,000 Iraqi refugees — whose plight was caused by the illegal and immoral war waged by the Tory/Labour regime in that country — are on their way to Europe in terms of a new plan devised by the European Union.

Britain, as a member of the EU, will not be allowed to prevent these refugees from entering this country and adding to the already staggering burden — estimated by Professor John Coleman from Oxford, to cost the British taxpayers in excess of £8 billion per year — caused by mass immigration.

The agreement to flood Europe with even more refuges came at an EU meeting in Brussels on Thursday, where interior ministers received a new report on conditions at refugee camps in Jordan and Syria. Germany said it would take in about 2,500 of the refugees. Priority will be given to those with medical needs, torture victims, single mothers and religious minorities.

Workers are providing wooden boxes, tools and plastic sheets, as well as hot meals.

It comes as hundreds of migrants flood into the port following a crackdown on illegal settlements in nearby Calais.

Bound for Britain: Migrants eat some food near their camp in Dunkirk where a French charity is helping them
The would-be migrants, claiming to be Afghans, Iraqis and Eritreans, have set up camp on dunes known as Loon-Plage, a few hundred yards from the port, where there are ferries to Dover.

Every night they try to board the boats, or smuggle themselves into lorries.

The Salam Association had defied local authorities by providing shelter and food for the men.

A spokesman for the Salam Association charity said: 'We are doing all we can to help them on their journey to Britain. We are here for humanitarian reasons, and are trying to prevent these men being persecuted.'

The extent to which the Labour regime has betrayed Britain’s borders and left them open to invasion has been revealed in the sentencing of the leaders of an Afghan criminal network whose leaders boasted that they brought in over 1,800 illegals every two months.

The illegal invaders were then put to work in well-known pizza takeaway chains to pay off their ‘fees’ for being smuggled from Afghanistan to Britain.

Abdul Hameed Sakhizada, 32, and his brother Ahmed Shah Sakhizada, 23, both of Northampton, and Abdul Wakil Niazi, 35, of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, ran what police believe to be one of the most lucrative smuggling networks ever uncovered in Britain.

The network operated for at least three years and detectives recorded Abdul Sakhizada claiming he smuggled at least 1,800 people into Europe in just over two months.

Sakhizada, who was jailed for nine years at Kingston crown court, south-west London for conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration, was told by Judge Welchman: “You, as you boasted, were the smuggler of Europe.”

The four athletes were among a team of 10 due to compete in Scotland. The first scrounger fled his team immediately after he got through border control at Heathrow airport.

The other three vanished from the team hotel before they were due to catch a flight to Edinburgh.

Ethiopian team co-ordinator Dagmawit Amare was quoted in the media as saying, “We are not worried about the safety of the athletes who disappeared because it appears obvious they are seeking asylum.”

The Ethiopian embassy in London is liaising with the Home Office over the missing athletes and their expected claims for asylum.

The incident has been reported to UK authorities, Scottish Athletics said. “It represents our worst scenario in inviting them,” meet manager Ross Cunningham said in a statement.

A Scottish athletics spokesman was quoted as saying that the incident was “disappointing and we will have to think seriously about whether we put ourselves in this position again. The visas were granted in good faith and we did not envisage finding ourselves in this situation.”

Last year, six Eritrean athletes due to run in the World Cross Country Championships in Edinburgh also vanished and claimed asylum. They were granted asylum and will apparently represent Scotland in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Britain’s insane asylum policy states that anyone from anywhere can set foot on Britain, claim asylum, and then must be given shelter until their application is heard — which can take up to two years.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett. He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open
up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".

As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants. Critics said the revelations showed a "conspiracy" within Government to impose mass immigration for "cynical" political reasons. Mr Neather was a speech writer who worked in Downing Street for Tony Blair and in the Home Office for Jack Straw and David Blunkett, in the early 2000s. Writing in the Evening Standard, he revealed the "major shift" in immigration policy came after the publication of a policy paper from the Performance and Innovation Unit, a Downing Street think tank based in the Cabinet Office, in 2001.

He wrote a major speech for Barbara Roche, the then immigration minister, in 2000, which was largely based on drafts of the report. He said the final published version of the report promoted the labour market case for immigration but unpublished versions contained additional reasons, he said. He wrote: "Earlier drafts I saw also included a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural. "I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense
that the policy was intended – even if this wasn't its main purpose – to rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date."

The "deliberate policy", from late 2000 until "at least February last year", when the new points based system was introduced, was to open up the UK to mass migration, he said.

Some 2.3 million migrants have been added to the population since then, according to Whitehall estimates quietly slipped out last month. On Question Time on Thursday, Mr Straw was repeatedly quizzed about whether Labour's immigration policies had left the door open for the BNP. In his column, Mr Neather said that as well as bringing in hundreds of
thousands more migrants to plug labour market gaps, there was also a "driving political purpose" behind immigration policy. He defended the policy, saying mass immigration has "enriched" Britain, and made London a more attractive and cosmopolitan place. But he acknowledged that "nervous" ministers made no mention of the policy at the time for fear of alienating Labour voters. "Part by accident, part by design, the Government had created its longed-for immigration boom. "But ministers wouldn't talk about it. In part they probably realised the conservatism of their core voters: while ministers might have been passionately in favour of a more diverse society, it wasn't necessarily a debate they wanted to have in working men's clubs in Sheffield or Sunderland."

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migrationwatch think tank, said: "Now at least the truth is out, and it's dynamite. "Many have long suspected that mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock up but also a conspiracy. They were right. "This Government has admitted three million immigrants for cynical political reasons concealed by dodgy economic camouflage." The chairmen of the cross-party Group for Balanced Migration, MPs Frank Field and Nicholas Soames, said: "We welcome this statement by an ex-adviser, which the whole country knows to be true. "It is the first beam of truth that has officially been shone on the immigration issue in Britain." A Home Office spokesman said: “Our new flexible points based system gives us greater control on those coming to work or study from outside Europe, ensuring that only those that Britain need can come. “Britain's borders are stronger than ever before and we are rolling out ID cards to foreign nationals, we have introduced civil penalties for those employing illegal workers and from the end of next year our electronic border system will monitor 95 per cent of journeys in and out of the UK.

“The British people can be confident that immigration is under control.”

THE French set 124 illegal immigrants free yesterday – knowing that last night most would be on their way to Britain.

The migrants – including 38 children – were arrested after people smugglers dumped them on a remote beach in Corsica on Friday.

But French judges ruled there were no grounds to keep them in custody.

Last night police sources said the ­migrants almost all wanted to seek asylum in “soft-touch” Britain. And a refugee charity admitted the UK is the ­“obvious” ­destination because Britain has an obligation to ­provide for asylum-seekers, while France does not.

The group claim to be persecuted Syrian Kurds.

But a detective involved in the arrests said: “Our interpreters suggest many were typical of the Northern Africans who try to get to Europe every day.

“They are especially interested in the UK because it has a generous record in dealing with migrants.” One of the freed migrants, Chergo, 32, told how he had boarded the ­smugglers’ boat with his wife and two young children in Tunisia.

He said: “We took a plane from Lebanon to Tunisia with fake ­passports, fake visas, then we took a boat. We paid almost £20,000.”

Last night there was outrage over the French fiasco.

UKIP Euro MP Gerard Batten said: “Once again the French are exporting their illegal immigration problem to Britain.

“If these are illegal immigrants the French should be sending them back to Syria or wherever they came from. This shows how the immigration and asylum issue is out of control, not only in UK but in Europe.

“Britain must regain control of its own borders so that illegal ­immigrants will be in no doubt they will be denied entry.”

The Labour government has rewarded thousands of illegal immigrants with citizenship after they avoided detection for 14 years or more, it has been revealed.

The policy, which has exposed Labour’s claim to be “tough on immigration” as an outright lie, was first introduced in 2003. In terms of the policy, any illegal immigrant who can prove that they have evaded detection for 14 years, will qualify for full British citizenship if they apply.

The vast majority of the illegal immigrants are granted “indefinite leave to remain” if they can show that they have been able to live outside the system or are failed asylum seekers who manage to avoid deportation.

Final proof that the European Union has destroyed British sovereignty has come with the ruling by the European Court of Justice that a blatant benefits scrounger from Somalia must be allowed to stay in Britain — simply because she draws benefits here.

The woman, named as Nimco Hassan Ibrahim in news reports, tried to claim housing assistance after she and her husband, named as a “Mr Yusuf” failed to qualify for right of residence in Britain.

As Mr Yusuf had somehow earlier contrived to obtain Danish nationality, he counted as a “migrant worker from another EU country” which immediately gave him right of residence. His wife there also qualified for residence in the UK, along with their four children who also have Danish nationality.

After working in Britain for a whole five months, Mr Yusuf claimed incapacity benefit after claiming he was unable to work. He was however declared fit for work in March 2004, whereupon he immediately left Britain.

Mr Yusuf’s departure meant that his wife and children no longer qualified for the conditions of lawful residence. This did not stop her from simply claiming benefits from the state courtesy of the British taxpayer for everything — housing, food, clothing, healthcare and so on.

The blatancy of the swindle was too much even for the rotten three-party-but-one-policy-controlled Harrow council, which rejected her claim on the obvious grounds that only people with a right of residence under EU law could apply for benefits.

Ms Ibrahim appealed the decision, claiming that as her children’s “primary carer” she should be allowed to stay on in Britain and qualify for state handouts.

The case was finally heard in the European Court of Justice today — which ordered Britain’s Appeal Court to find in Ms Ibrahim’s favour.

To all appearances, the Reverend Anthony Quarco was a respectable pillar of the community.

As well as running a church, he worked as a frontline airport immigration officer and volunteered as a Metropolitan Police special constable.

But yesterday, the father of two was unmasked as 'the most dishonest man in Britain' and jailed for nine years for smuggling hordes of illegal migrants into the country in exchange for nearly £150,000.

Croydon Crown Court heard that former asylum seeker Quarco used the cover of the church to write letters supporting immigration bids, charging £4,000 a time to claim applicants were church fundraisers or choir members.

Meanwhile, he used his job at Luton Airport to issue fake passports, and even smuggled a man into the country under his own name.

At least 24,000 “asylum seeker families” have been given social housing at a cost of £750 million over the last four years — while the queue of British people waiting for houses grows ever longer.

According to new figures released by the Home Office, the £750 million has been dished out to councils to pay for housing for the “asylum seekers” from all corners of the globe.

£51.1 million has been paid to Glasgow City Council, £14.3 million to Liverpool City Council, £19 million to Nottingham City Council amd £14.5 million to Cardiff City Council.

Millions more have been handed out to “housing associations” and private property firms.

According to separate Home Office figures, some 1.8 million people (officially described as “largely British born,” which is establishment speak for Third World immigrant) are waiting for social housing at present.

An Eastern European gang who took advantage of the notoriously lax controls in 'Benefits Britain' to mount an audacious £450,000 fraud were behind bars yesterday.

After setting up a fake building firm which claimed to have 55 employees, they flew in fellow immigrants to pose as staff and claim tax credits of hundreds of pounds a month.

The bogus employees would then return to their home countries after a matter of days but the benefits continued to be paid, leaving the gang to cream off their own lucrative cut.

One of the sham workers - dubbed 'horses' - was paid almost £600 per week by falsely claiming he had eight children, without anyone checking if they existed.

Yesterday one of the men's barristers said they had been attracted by the lure of 'Benefits Britain' and couldn't be held responsible for the ease with which their fraud was executed.

As the ringleaders were jailed, critics said the fact that 'benefit tourism' was now attracting foreign gangs to Britain was a shocking indictment of how poorly the system is policed.

The gang, from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, set up a company on Tyneside called Ragob Building Services - director Petr Bogar's name spelt backwards.

A FAILED asylum seeker who ran a help group advising other immigrants has been jailed after making “a king’s ransom” from claiming benefits and working illegally.

Bavwidi Mpanzu, 31, who arrived in the UK from the Congo using a fake passport nine years ago, cheated the system out of £117,000.

He founded and ran a com­munity group advising African refugees on what they were entitled to claim.

The group received commendations for its work but Mpanzu was this week exposed as “dishonest and greedy” after he was found to have been working in a chocolate factory under a false name while claiming £22,000 benefits from UK taxpayers.

As well as claiming an array of benefits Mpanzu earned £1,000 a month working at the Cadbury’s factory in Sheffield, a court heard.

Recorder Simon Bourne-Arton, QC, said: “This was a king’s ransom” compared with pay in the Congo. Prosecutor David Wain said Mpanzu fraudulently made more than £117,000 over six years.

He told how after arriving illegally in the UK in 2001 Mpanzu applied for asylum but was turned down.

The ease with which illegal immigrants can enter the country was highlighted yesterday when a baby trafficker banned from the UK for ten years sneaked back in to claim thousands at an employment tribunal.

Peace Sandberg, 42, was jailed for 26 months in 2008 after she bought a three-month-old baby in Nigeria for £150 and tried to pass it off as her own to get a council house.

After she had served her sentence she was deported to Sweden where she holds joint Swedish/Nigerian citizenship, and was ordered not to return to Britain for ten years.

Defying the ban, Mrs Sandberg, a former housing officer who worked with the elderly in Ealing, London, flew back to the country and walked straight through immigration checks at Heathrow Airport.

She returned to Britain to sue her former employers, the Peabody Trust, for race and sex discrimination.

The employment tribunal allowed the case to proceed knowing she was in the country illegally.

Mrs Sandberg was caught eventually after the lawyer representing the trust raised alarms.

The alleged leader of an al-Qaeda plot to bomb targets in north-west England has won his appeal against deportation.

A special immigration court said Abid Naseer was an al-Qaeda operative - but could not be deported because he faced torture or death back home in Pakistan.

Mr Naseer, 23, was one of 10 Pakistani men arrested last April as part of a massive counter-terrorism operation in Liverpool and Manchester.

Student Ahmad Faraz Khan, also 23, won his appeal on similar grounds.

The security services believed the men were planning to attack within days of their arrest, but neither was charged.

The Human Rights Act prevents people from being sent back to places where they would be "subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".

Labour's supposedly tough points-based immigration system actually led to huge increases in foreign workers and students cleared to live in Britain, it emerged last night.

Experts said the new Government had a 'mountain to climb' to bring migration under control.

Labour ministers, led by Gordon Brown, repeatedly claimed the Australian-style points system for non-EU nationals would reduce immigration.

Economic migration was expected to fall by as much as 12 per cent.

But analysis published last night showed that, in fact, it increased by 20 per cent - while the number of foreign students went up by more than 30 per cent.

The revelation comes as the Tories prepare to set out how they will reduce net immigration to levels not seen since the 1990s.

Sir Andrew Green, of Migrationwatch-which produced the study, said: 'This is Labour's guilty secret.

'When they talked about immigration at all before and during the election campaign, they claimed that they were getting it under control with their tough new system. The truth was quite different.

'They have left an immigration system in chaos and the coalition with a huge mountain to climb in order to fulfil David Cameron's election promise that net immigration would be brought down from the present level to tens of thousands, as in the 1980s and early 1990s.'

Criminal gangs preying on illegal immigrants have targeted Northampton in a series of sham marriages intended to bypass immigration restrictions.
Charging up to £2,000 "expenses" a time, the organised crime gangs in the Manchester area used forged utility bills and doctored passports to put up a dozen 'couples' for marriages which would provide European Union status.

Since the start of the year, 10 people have been jailed after being arrested as they were about to go through with a sham marriage, either while walking up the aisle or when police and immigration officers were waiting when they signed their wedding banns.

Nigerian Kemi Awolesi was jailed this week when she was arrested trying to marry a Slovakian, having overstayed her visa. And Basamba Darame, originally from west Africa but with a Portuguese passport was jailed for two years for assisting in illegal immigration.

Sentencing at Northampton Crown Court, Judge Charles Wide QC said; "These are serious offences, committed to simply get round immigration laws. I must say that the method of it is quite distasteful - making a mockery of the institution of marriage."

The Rev Michael Hills, of Holy Sepulchre and St Michael's churches in Northampton called in the police and the UK Border Agency when he began to suspect his churches were being targeted for sham marriages. It has now resulted in up to a dozen people being arrested.

The bogus weddings are typically between an illegal immigrant from Africa and a non-British EU national, with marriage to an EU national bringing the right to live, work, and remain in the UK, claim benefits and use the National Health system.

He said: "About a year ago we started to get lots and lots foreign weddings, particularly from Nigerian people who were marrying Eastern Europeans. Eventually what happened was the police turned up at Holy Sepulchre and arrested one couple.

"It was found their passports were false and they had also given me false bills to prove their address."

He added: "I think there are some pretty desperate people out there really. They will do anything to stay here basically. It is upsetting."
Sam Bullimore, UK Border Agency Assistant Director, said: "I am pleased with the sentences that have been handed out which show how seriously we, and the courts, take these kinds of offences.

"Our immigration crime teams will continue to tackle this criminality head on, working hard to create a hostile environment for those who attempt to break our immigration laws.

"We know that sham marriage rackets are not just about immigration offenders attempting to get a ticket to the UK, often there are criminal organisations controlling and profiting from such abuses of the immigration laws.

"The Rebutia Immigration Crime Team in the East Midlands is cracking down on the criminals involved in these activities, seeking their prosecution and seizing their ill gotten gains for the public purse.

"Any foreign criminal sentenced to more than 12 months in prison for any offence is automatically considered for deportation."

The majority of the marriages were organised in the Manchester area with the would-be-couples travelling to Northampton with forged passports, utility bills linked to addresses in Northampton in order to sidestep immigration laws.

Often the couples who had only met briefly and on occasion, were unable to speak each pother languages. Mariam Drame was arrested as he walked up the aisle of St Michael's church in Northampton with a wedding dress four sizes too big and while still wearing jeans beneath her wedding dress .

DC Gary Fowler, from the Foreign National Crime Team of Northamptonshire Police, said: "These people, either the would-be bride or groom were seeking to get married dishonestly to ultimately assist their leave to remain in the UK by deception, as the spouse of an EU National, thereby having full status to live, work and obtain benefits in the UK.

"Facilitating this with all criminal expense that it generates in Northampton has now been significantly addressed.

"This investigation strikes at the very heart of what marriage should be about.

"It enables often illegal persons to abuse the welcome and support offered by the UK.

"This is serious organised immigration ring, which has been smashed in Northampton. We, together with UKBA Immigration Officers, are actively investigating where the marriage facilitators originate from, and seek to eradicate and bring them to justice.

"Northamptonshire Police is committed to increasing the confidence in our communities and welcome and celebrate our diversity, but will not shirk at eradicating organised criminals wherever they ply their trade, even when using the Church as a vehicle for deception."

She came to Britain having fled poverty and civil war in her home country of Angola. But for Teresa Matos, winning both British citizenship and an enviable job with the Royal Navy was not enough.
On Friday the former asylum-seeker became the first Royal Navy sailor to be convicted for trying to use a warship to smuggle drugs into the country.
The 36-year-old rating tried to bring over 8.5kg of 100 per cent pure cocaine – £2million worth – into Britain aboard HMS Manchester.
The astonishing ambition of Matos’s crime was laid bare in court on Friday when she was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.
Three London-based accomplices were also sentenced: her Angolan boyfriend Raul Beia, 39 – who had also been granted asylum to live in the UK – was jailed for 13 years; Dean Langley, 20, for 11 years; and Abdul Banda, 34, for ten and a half years.
The court was told that while Matos was a crucial element of the enterprise, Beia and Banda were the ringleaders and Langley was intended to distribute the drugs.

New figures from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, have shown how the illegal and immoral wars waged by the Labour/Tory regime have caused a massive increase in 'asylum seekers' from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Bombing of Baghdad.The Bombing of Baghdad.According to the report, issued to coincide with “World Refugee Day” on 20 June, the EU27 Member States granted protection to 78,800 'asylum seekers' in 2009 compared with 75,100 in 2008.

The largest groups of beneficiaries were citizens of Iraq (13,100 or 17 percent), Somalia (13,400 persons or 17 percent) and Afghanistan (7,100 or 9 percent).

Of the 78,800 persons who were granted protection status, 39,300 persons were granted refugee status, 29,900 subsidiary protection and 9,600 authorisation to stay for humanitarian reasons.

More than three quarters of grants of protection status in the EU27 were made in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands.

In 2009, the highest number of persons granted protection status was registered in the United Kingdom (12,500), followed by Germany (12,100), France (10,400), Sweden (9,100), Italy (8,600) and the Netherlands (8,100).

These Member States accounted for more than three quarters of all those granted protection status in the EU27, said Eurostat.

More than 260,000 asylum applicants in 2009 and nearly one quarter were minors, the report added.

In total, around 261,000 asylum applicants were registered in the EU during 2009. Amongst other characteristics such as the origin and gender of these applicants, the report highlights that minors accounted for 60,500 of the applicants, of which 12,200 were unaccompanied.

In other words, not only have the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost billions of pounds and hundreds of British lives, but they have also directly contributed towards the Third World immigration invasion of Europe.

An asylum seeker bought three homes and sent her son to a fee-paying school by illegally claiming more than £700,000 in benefits, a court heard. Mahira Rustam Al-Azawi, 49, used a series of false identities to milk Britain's lax benefit system over eight years. Although she never worked, she was able to purchase three properties - two of which she rented out - worth in excess of £1million. Her 18-year-old son was educated at Colfe's School, in South-East London, where fees are currently £4,164 a term. The fraud was uncovered only when Al-Azawi, from Iraq, successfully applied for a student loan to study civil engineering at Greenwich University. When police raided her £800,000 detached home in Bromley, they found an 'Aladdin's cave' of false documents, including a selection of passports, identity papers and driving licences. She had converted the garage into an office and described herself to neighbours as an 'internet entrepreneur'. During her trial at Croydon Crown Court, it emerged that she had claimed for income support, housing and council tax benefits in her own name, as well as those of her cousin and mother. She also obtained two mortgages by claiming she was a self-employed businesswoman. Judge Stephen Waller jailed Al-Azawi for three years after she was found guilty of 13 offences of benefit fraud, forgery and theft.
