TORIES want to stop migrants using the Human Rights act to fight deportation.
They have tabled an amendment to Labour’s borders bill to stop “spurious” claims.
It would mean those seeking appeal to deportation decisions would not be able to make human rights claims in British courts.
After several unusual cases, such as an Albanian offender being permitted to remain in the UK due to his son’s aversion to foreign chicken nuggets, a new case has emerged.
Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, commented that managing immigration is complicated by highly skewed understandings of international laws.
“It’s critical to shift immigration powers from the courts to parliament and elected ministers, enabling more effective control over our borders.”
It comes after it was revealed the number of foreign criminals in the UK is three times as high as it was eight years ago.
More than 18,000 foreign national offenders, who have served a prison sentence, were living in the UK at the end of September last year.
The Home Office figures sparked fury and fresh demands for Labour to further ramp up deportations.
