This is point though. They are alright, and we don't mind those that want to come and work,and in the future they will still be able to do it, but this catch all where we cannot even send back criminals etc to their home countries just winds people up and is stupid. But the Eu elite will not listen or fix the issues that people want, they have their eyes on the superstate of the USE and that's it, take it or leave it. Well I vote Leave.......
More lies.
Only British citizens or those with right of abode are immune from deportation. Anyone else can be deported for a variety of reasons, be they EU/EEA citizen, on ILR, married to a British citizen etc.
Any non-British citizen can be deported for a variety of reasons. For EEA national, the Home Secretary can only deport on the grounds of conducive to the public good, for public safety or public health reasons. Unless a court has recommended deportation, it's unusual for Home Secretary to initiate deportation, unless there is overwhelming public need.
People like gangs of pickpockets from Eastern Europe have been routinely deported on the ground of being conducive to the public good.
There is a distinction between 'foreign national', and 'European citizen'-if the prison sentence was over a year for a 'foreign national' and two years for a 'European citizen'. Those EU citizens imprisoned for more than two years can be deported.
A foreign national may be made the subject of a deportation order for a number of reasons. These include:
- The Secretary of State believes that is in the interests of the public good that the foreign national is removed from the UK;
- The foreign national is the spouse, civil partner or child of an individual who is the subject of a deportation order; or,
- The foreign national is over 17 years old, has been convicted of a criminal offence which carries with it a prison sentence and the court which sentenced the foreign national recommended that he be deported once he has served his sentence.
