Government Rejects Amnesty Calls Thursday, 18 June 2009 Persistent rumours that the government may be considering an amnesty for illegal immigrants have been quashed. A spokesman for the UK Border Agency, in responding to a report published by the London School of Economics has said, 'The policy on an amnesty for illegal immigrants remains unchanged and is very clear - there will be no amnesty, those here illegally should go home." The LSE report had concluded that an amnesty for illegal migrants would benefit the United Kingdom economy by £3 billion. |
