Is there an Amnesty in Britain?

Britain may pardon illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants in Britain may have a chance to get Amnesty. Unofficially, the number of illegal immigrants in Britain is between 365,438+0,000 and 870,000.

On June 14, Bowen, the vice minister in charge of immigration affairs, told Congress that he had ordered a report on this proposal, and this possibility was not ruled out at this stage. However, Davis, who is in charge of the internal affairs of the opposition Conservative Party, criticized the government for proposing a possible Amnesty as "extremely irresponsible". Davis said that this would attract a large number of illegal immigrants to Britain. The Home Office of the Labour government stressed that there is no plan to pardon illegal immigrants at present.

Bowen told Parliament that Britain may follow Spain's example and pardon illegal immigrants, saying that he "needs to collect more detailed information." Bowen stressed that any analysis of the problem must be based on stricter law enforcement and repatriation policies.

The Institute of Public Policy, a British think tank, said recently that an amnesty for 500,000 illegal immigrants in Britain will give the government 654.38 billion pounds in tax revenue. The head of a British trade union recently said that repatriating 500,000 illegal immigrants was "neither practical nor ethical".

BBC political reporters analyzed that the attention to immigration has changed in recent months. The original focus was on how to supervise immigration, and now the focus is on the status of illegal immigrants in Britain. The reporter said that a senior official of the British Home Office admitted to him that he did not know the number of illegal immigrants. The government retorted that because these people have no identity, it is difficult for them to count an accurate figure.
