Re: Unstoppable migration?

Quote:
Thousands of people are faking living in Ireland to get family members into the UK, a BBC investigation has revealed.
The scam involves UK nationals who want to bring in close relatives from outside the European Economic Area.
Police said immigration advisers, lawyers and accountants were behind the multi-million pound fraud.
The UK government is warning it is a growing industry that exploits European free-movement rules.
The scam uses the so-called Surinder Singh route, named after a historical immigration court case.
If a UK national lives and works in another European country for a period of time, they can be considered under EU rather than British law on their return.
That means that if they have been joined by a non-EEA spouse, they are allowed to bring them into the UK without having to meet certain immigration requirements that apply to Britons.
This route has grown in popularity since 2012, when the government introduced a minimum income a UK citizen had to earn before they could bring a spouse from outside the EU into the UK.
Each year, about 20,000 non-European family members come into the UK this way.

Yet more holes in our colander like border controls.
