The governement has again come under fire for producing more hot air than action in respect of its commitment to deal with illegal immigration.
Against the PM's promise to automatically deport* foreign criminals, it's been revealed that the Home Office has already decided not to deport over 200 of them.
On top of this the current Immigration and Nationality Directorate chief has declared to a House of Commons home affairs committee that it would take at least a couple of years to get the immigration service back into good shape, admitting that there were staff trainingb issues to overcome on top of everything else.
She had been given six weeks by Home Secretary John Reid to turn around the department. Seems she may need a little longer....
*my god - I split an infinitive - see what all these Americans are doing to me...!
