Foreign Criminals not being deported!

Another sign that Britain is going down the tubes...

A judge has attacked the Government's record on deporting foreign criminals, telling of his frustration at seeing them still walking the streets.

Judge Peter Jacobs said he repeatedly recommended immigrants for deportation - only to walk past them in the city where he works a few months later.
The broadside by the resident judge at Norwich Crown Court will pile more pressure on Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.

Judge Jacobs spoke out as he jailed a West African woman who had lived and worked illegally in the county for seven years.

He sentenced Jessica White, 22, to ten months in jail and recommended her to be deported when she is freed. But he told Norwich Crown Court: 'The Home Office is better than it was, but they don't keep a proper take on these things.
'I and my brother judges recommend people for deportation and then we walk along King Street or
London Street and see them a few months later.' He added: 'In this case we will have to wait and see.'
Liberian-born White admitted possession of a false passport and entering the UK without leave in 2002. She was arrested after a fracas in her home in Attleborough, Norfolk. The judge spoke out when he jailed her last Friday.
Research by the Tories - revealed in the Daily Mail in December - showed that about 3,000 foreign criminals were released without being deported in 2007. Of those, 2,196 were released early to ease prison overcrowding. Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the campaign group Migrationwatch UK, said: 'The judge is absolutely right.
'The resources devoted to the removal of foreign criminals are trivial compared to the task in hand. The Government should make addressing this issue a priority.'
A Home Office spokesman said: 'We will not tolerate those that come here and break the law and last year we removed a record number of foreign prisoners. This year we will remove more.'

In February-2007 Judge Jacobs jailed a failed asylum seeker for five years for rape. He recommended Bilal Darioglu - who should have already been deported after losing a final plea to stay in the country - be deported at the end of his sentence, but added that he did not have the remotest confidence that this would happen.

His intervention comes as Miss Smith battles to restore her credibility over revelations she had claimed on her Parliamentary expenses for two pay-per-view porn films watched by her husband.

ALLOWED TO STAY... AND RAPE Failed asylum seeker Caliph Ali Asmar raped a woman and stabbed a love rival after ajudge's recommendation that he be deported was ignored by the Home Office.

The Iraqi Kurd was jailed for two years at Hull Crown Court in 2005 for wounding and the judge, Recorder Andrew Woolman, recommended him for deportation.

He was freed after only eight months. A Home Office blunder meant he was one of 1,023 foreign criminals not deported in a scandal which was to cost Home Secretary Charles Clarke his job in 2006.

By then, Asmar had raped a woman of 26 in Hull. A week later he stabbed Latvian Arunas Rutkas, 33, in the chest in a row over a girlfriend. In 2006 he was jailed indefinitely.
