When Britain has an "immigration crackdown" - which sounds like it's finally getting tough - it's usually against foreign students, the Gurkhas (Britain's greatest allies) or those Afghan interpreters who worked for and helped the British Army in Afghanistan who now want to live here. Asylum for these Gurkha and Afghan heroes is denied and they are sent back to their own country without a moment's thought.
Such a crackdown usually doesn't extend to Iraqi illegal immigrants who run over and kill 12-year-old girls whilst they are disqualified from driving. Such people are allowed to stay due to the fact they have a "right to a family life" because they have fathered children in Britain.
