Why are we so lenient when it comes to illegal immigration compared to other Eropean countries?

Question

A friend of mine told me horror stories of when he was in Germany. One Lady who came from Uganda was stripped and beating there .... that's ridiculous, and totally unnecessary but here they would be reading her her rights and telling her how she could stay, get a house... so on so forth

Lenient is the word we all use as far as all this Immigration goes, and in fact they must just wave them in rather than inspect their Papers if they have any. I have seen them at Heathrow and it is a farce, as they just wave at them and really do not know if they have the correct Documents or not. Me a British Citizen gets pulled over both with Luggage and Passport every time, and the worst offenders are at Heathrow where I feel like a Criminal, and have travelled many times from there, on my way back from the USA where I visit my Daughter. Lenient is not the word I would choose for the Immigration Officials at any Airport, but I call it sheer laziness until we English arrive there, to come through, and we go through that farce every time, while all the foreigners go sailing through in the next aisle without a word or Passport being shown. It is one big Con job and they must be laughing all the way to the DHS which is their next stop.We are so generous in this Country which makes me sick, especially when we have to work all our lives to enable us to get our Pension , because if you do not work you certainly will get penalised when you retire. Good old England and I am proud of what you do to your own Citizens, who have worked and not scrounged all our lives for our Pension. What a laughing stock we are in other Countries especially Holland, and I have been and spoken to a lot of these people who refuse to have any Immigrants unless they have a job... so the end result is they do not get very many because they would not get any handouts from the Dutch People as they use their brains better than then we do here by our stupid Governments.

Answer 2

simple because of our laws. yes their dumb, get over it

Answer 3

please, no one was beaten in a german airport.

The reason Europe is *sometimes* harsher than the US (they still haven't gravitated toward being the opposite of "so lenient"), is because they have already suffered at the hand of illegal immigration.
You see, most European countries have a very socialist structure, with the government providing such services as health and amenities such as monetary awards for having children (you can say the IRS is evil towards families compared with places such as Scandinavia (that's a region) and most others).
Right now, if you walk in Paris you'll see more foreigners (particularly muslims) than Frenchmen. If you've been following the news, Paris has suffered many riots, often by muslims (not an extremist writing here). The same goes for Germany and Britain, somewhat Spain and Italy. Europe has over 60 million immigrants from the past decade, with over 50% coming from North Africa/Middle East.

You can get a sense of why Europe is starting to have had it with the immigrants.
On the other hand, in America, what's not to like? We treat our Mexican neighbors well, wouldn't you say? Who's the construction worker? Who mows the lawn? Who wipes the hotel floor? For us Americans, the Mexicans are doing all the gritty work, so even though they're illegal - we take advantage of that and pay them in pennies.
How's that for an answer?

Answer 4

I heard that happened to a woman in Russia!! That's weird. I think it's just rumours since you heard it was from a diff country and because that is definitely illegal!

Answer 5

I can't believe that story about Germany, but yes, we are too lenient in the UK. Nobody should be getting a beating, but they should be quickly rounded up and sent back from whence they came.
Why are we too lenient?
Because our government is stupid?

Answer 6

Because our lefty government are stupid and by their own admission a couple of weeks ago, they wanted to "rub the right's nose in it". So they deliberately opened the borders to let legals and illegals in to show the right what a wonderful place our (very small) country would be if they let half the world in.
Fortunately it's backfired on the self-serving idiots and they are now promising to "clamp down" on it, though nothing will really happen until the Tories get in and even then it won't be enough, you will still have the closet lefties and do-gooders complaining that we need immigrants, they tend to change their minds when they loose their jobs to them though.
What we need is the government to stop paying the idle to stay at home have loads of kids and not work, then we will have more than enough workers to do "the jobs that British people won't do" !!!!

Answer 7

Firstly i would find it hard to beleive that this woman from Uganda was beaten & stripped in the manner you stated, were you there ?...any witnesses to this?

The British government have basically operated an open borders policy for the past decade or so, allowing in perhaps well over the 3 million+ that we hear about in our dubious British press..

Britain does not need the mass migration it has had foisted upon it over the last ten years, the British people were not consulted or asked if they wanted their country transformed by many differing cultures just all of a sudden arriving here and with so many of them unable to speak our language , understand our culture and customs and not wanting to work it has made the situation far worse...Britain has over 1 million 16-25 year olds not in work education and training...while at the same time the Newly arrived immigrants are offered work by unscrupulous capatilistic employment agencies who want cheap foreign labour over local workers...its an utter disgrace....Britain is in recession, yet more and more immigrants keep arriving...both legal and illegall...we cannot afford to pay social security money to these people and we need to give work to our own people..it is morally right..and not as some may say RACIST!!!.....we have absolutely no control over E.U migration and have been overwhelmed by Eastern europeans migrants who we are told are leaving , but are not and are now increasingly coming back here as the recession is easier to ride out in Britain , than it is in Eastern Europe....& elswhere in places like France,Germany,Spain etc as we have masses of these nationalies coming here to find work that is unavailable in their lands ..that can be found here at the expense of the British worker!
Britain cannot afford to look after the planets poor....we have our own poor people and are in recession....!

Answer 8

It will surprise you to lears (especially if you read the Daily Heil) that the UK by percentage of the population actually has fewer immigrants than France, Germany, Spain and Italy.

Answer 9

We do not have open borders; this is a piece of nonsense reproduced from the Daily Mail. I'm not sure we have many illegal immigrants here at all. During the economic boom that lasted for 10 years until 2007 a lot of legal immigrants were encouraged to come here to fill all the vacancies in the fields of low paid employment where the white British mainly would not work. Now there is a recession the right wing press have instigated a sort of blame culrure making immigrants responsible for the high unemployment rates; the government has responded by tightening up on the numbers and types of immigrants permitted to enter the country. The Tory Party predictably of course has jumped on the blame the immigrants bandwagon too.

Answer 10

Im not British so I can't comment but I just wanted to say that story is probably lie because I heard it was a woman from Russia who was Nigerian.
