Three cases that show illegal migrants fighting deportation are laughing at us – Kelvin MacKenzie

Kelvin MacKenzie is saying that the UK should stop being part of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) because it makes it too hard to send illegal migrants back to their own countries.

He thinks that migrants are using the courts to avoid being deported, and this is costing ordinary taxpayers a lot of money. He believes that many of the reasons migrants give to stay in the UK are ridiculous and that the ECHR is the main thing stopping the government from sending them home.

He gives a few examples to show how he thinks the system is being abused. One case involves a man from Pakistan who was convicted of crimes against children but wasn’t deported because the court said it would be too hard on his kids.

Another case is about a woman from Grenada who argued that her European husband wouldn’t be able to handle the food or the heat in her home country.

A third example is an Albanian man who was allowed to stay in the UK because his son supposedly wouldn’t eat chicken nuggets in Albania. MacKenzie finds these excuses unbelievable and thinks the courts are being too soft.

He also talks about how the number of people appealing against deportation has gone up a lot in recent years, which is causing delays and making the system overwhelmed. He believes that migrants should be sent back to their home countries first and then allowed to appeal if they want to, rather than staying in the UK while their cases drag on.

One of the cases he focuses on is a woman named Lynthia Calliste, who came to the UK from Grenada on a six-month visa but stayed longer illegally. She married a Latvian man who had the right to live in the UK and then tried to avoid deportation by saying her husband wouldn’t be able to cope with the food and weather in Grenada. MacKenzie thinks this is a weak excuse and that she should have been sent back long ago.

He also mentions a Pakistani man who committed serious crimes but was allowed to stay because of his family ties, even though he wasn’t living with his family at the time.

Another case involves an Albanian man who lost his British citizenship after being involved in crime but was allowed to stay because of his son’s supposed dislike of Albanian food and sensory issues. MacKenzie finds these decisions shocking and thinks they show how broken the system is.

Overall, MacKenzie is very critical of the ECHR and believes it is making it too difficult for the UK to control its borders. He thinks that leaving the ECHR would allow the government to deport people more easily and stop what he sees as abuse of the system.

He also thinks that the public is fed up with the situation and that a political party like Reform, which wants to leave the ECHR, could win support in the future. He believes this is the only way to fix the problem and stop these kinds of stories from happening.
