They seem to have a more streamlined process than us...
LONDON (Reuters) – A Mexican national who told airport immigration he was visiting Britain to see a friend was swiftly deported after a search unearthed a good-luck card in his luggage wishing him well for his "new life in the UK."
Oh, that. Wait! That's not my luggage!
UK Border Agency officers at Manchester Airport routinely stopped the 40-year-old chef after he arrived on a flight from Los Angeles last Friday. The man told them he was on a short trip to see a friend who was opening a restaurant in the area. "However, a search of the passenger's baggage revealed a huge collection of Mexican food recipes and a good-luck card from his church wishing him well for his 'new life in the UK,'" the agency said in a statement.
Not so fast there, amigo...
The man later admitted he had intended to work at the restaurant illegally and had planned to bring his family over from America if he liked it. He was deported the next day.
So now they're sneaking out of America?
"We will not tolerate people coming here to work illegally," the agency said. "People wanting to visit the UK must play by the rules. Those who do not are sent back."
Adios, muchacho!

#3  I watched a reality TV show last night about immigration enforcement officers in the UK. In the show the found 3 illegals by doing identity checks at a railway station. Only one who violently resisted was held. The other 2 were released to report in later. They of course didn't report and promptly dissapeared.

More importantly, the comments of the immigration officers showed they didn't take their job seriously. They knew it was like trying to empty the ocean with a tea spoon.

Illegal immigration is just as out of control in the UK as it is in the USA.

Yeah. All those illegal muzzies you have now are too much of a strain on your socialist society.

#1  But where did they send him back to?

Why do I have this feeling he's going back to LA and that's as far as he'll get.
