Illegal workers found by immigration officers
9:17am Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in News
IMMIGRATION officers have uncovered five Bangladeshi men working illegally in two Indian restaurants.
Mint in Poole’s fashionable Ashley Cross was targeted following a tip-off and officers found four men, aged between 25 and 41, all of whom were in the UK illegally after their visas expired.
The UK Border Agency team also went to Indi’s in Seamoor Road in Westbourne where a 37-year-old man working in the kitchen was also found to have overstayed his visa.
All were arrested and taken to police stations in Bournemouth and Weymouth. They are now in immigration detention awaiting removal from the country.
Kenny Chapman, of the UK Border Agency, said: “Employers who take on illegal workers are both fuelling illegal immigration and undercutting businesses which play by the rules. The UK Border Agency is determined to stamp out abuse of the immigration system.
“We want the public to contact us if they have any information on businesses or people who are breaking immigration law.”

Any chance of the now legal visitors from the EU going back to give our youngsters a chance of finding work and somewhere to live, oh no WE will not get that vote on the EU, will we.
People move around to improve their lot, whether it be from Yorkshire to Bournemouth or Warsaw to Poole, same difference.
Whereas "your" youngsters are too lazy to go and get that what is front of their noses.
The EEC has faults but shouldn't be blamed for individual laziness.

They work hard, they own their property, they mind their own business, and they are polite.
They don't have loud parties or big arguments, they take pride in their home and garden.
They have made a new life in the UK and are not bothering anyone, so good on 'em.

I am aware of Hackney regulations, this should not be possible.
So in the interests of the reputable Taxis, a bit more unsocial hours working needed by the immigration authorities here also I think.
