Illegal Immigrants to get amnesty?
Discussion
Panorama now on BBC1 discussing plans/proposal to give an amnesty to the, possibly million, illegal imigrants here in the UK.

So as finding them is difficult and deporting them is a ball ache you just grant them all an amnesty and instantly the number od ilegals becomes zero.
May as well hang a sign up and invite the world to come on in!

And thus you have one million extra Labour voters.

Am I the only one who seems to recal there being an Amnesty for this almost every year?
I'm sure there have been plaenty before but all the news reports today make it sound like a new thing.
Help me out here am I losing my mind
If you mean, they get nicked, there's nowhere to put them so they are let go time and time again, i'd say there was a permanent amnesty. And for those that say it doesn't happen, oh yes it does!!!I'm sure there have been plaenty before but all the news reports today make it sound like a new thing.

. In 1999/2000, the Labour Government granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) to 21,000 applicants involving 29,200 people altogether, under what was described as a "backlog clearance exercise". ILR is, effectively, settlement.
9. On 24 October 2003 the Government announced that ILR would be granted to those families which had sought asylum in the UK before 2 October 2000, had children before that date and who had experienced delays in the system. Those who had committed a criminal offence or lodged multiple asylum applications were excluded. The Government appears to have concluded that these applicants would have had grounds for appeal against removal on human rights grounds. They claimed that the amnesty would save taxpayers support costs and legal costs. Announcing the measure, Mr Blunkett said that it would involve 15,000 families but it was not known exactly how many adults and children would be covered [5].
10. The numbers involved turn out to be much larger. 53,435 cases were identified for consideration as at 31 March 2005 [6] . By the end of 2005, 70,135 applicants and dependants had been granted indefinite leave to remain (settlement) with 20,000 cases still to be decided [7].
