Post 'Effective amnesty' for thousands of asylum seekers

Hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers whose cases were lost or overlooked by the Home Office are set to be allowed to stay in Britain in what critics condemned as an "effective amnesty".

'More than 100 foreign prisoners also remain on the run two years after the Government promised to deport them, it has been disclosed.
The Home Office was engulfed in scandal two years ago when a staggering backlog of 450,000 cases files was found lying around in boxes, some dating back to the mid-1990s and beyond.
The cases included many would-be refugees whose cases had been rejected as bogus but who had never been deported.
Figures released yesterday show that two years later officials have processed just 90,000 of the files, and almost half - 43 per cent - of the applicants have been told they can stay in Britain permanently.
Many of the cases are still considered unfounded, but the asylum seekers and their families have been living in the UK for so long that the courts are likely to block any efforts to deport them on human rights grounds.
All those allowed to stay will be able to claim benefits and seek British citizenship, regardless of the merits of their original claims.
The figures also show that only 308 of the 1,013 crooks who were supposed to have been ejected from the country have been dispatched...'
