Matt.I wrote to Susan Kramer recently as there was an article in the local paper about her work with a family who are in the process of being deported. The story I related to her was one concerning the developers around here and a story which had arisen from one of the sites.A report was apparently made that illegal workers were being employed on a development site.I understand (from a reliable source) that the Police investigated the issues involved and after visiting the site tucked 6 workers into a holding unit at Heathrow, with the intention of taking a prosecution against the developer. New legislation rules that the responsibility for ensuring workers have correct papers, falls on the developer or employers head.Immigration, I understand, then said to the Police that 'Indian illegals' are not a priority, and let them go. The Police could not proceed with a prosecution and the workers probably went back to working on the same development?If the rules regarding illegal workers/immigrants are not applied consistently and fairly, how can Immigration pick a family with the Children going through their formative years, and say they ARE a priority? This group of illegal workers, I understand, were all male and most of the family groups will have females involved. Who decides that 'Indian illegals' are not a priority then? Who is interpreting the legislation to allow for this?I don't know when this occurred, I gave Susan Kramer the contacts details so it can be verified.Susan Kramer has just written to me to say that she has passed my letter on to Ann Keen - lovely letter on posh House of Commons paper! ;-)Sarah
