 Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:02 pm Post subject: Migrant criminal network |
 |
|
A network of criminality in one of the UK's largest illegal immigrant
communities has been exposed by an undercover BBC News investigation.
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. |

Dont worry, ID cards will take care of this ...... Well thats what we'are
told anyway ........ Its only forty quid ???? each ....... then we can
all feel safer ... because terrorists and illegal immigrants wont dare set
foot in this country in case there asked to produce an ID card .... I
mean thats what we'are suppossed to beleive isn't it.
