| The Home Office campaign is aimed at people who are in this country illegally and is not in any way racist. It simply asks people who are in this country illegally to return home or face arrest. That is in accordance with the law of the land and it is up to all of us including solicitors, councillors, police, employers and others in authority to support this campaign. Evidently a solicitor who specialises in family law has reported the vans carrying the Home Office posters advising illegal immigrants to return home or face arrest as bring racist. Nothing could be further from the truth.These advertisements are simply public information announcements in English warning illegal immigrants of all races, nationalities and origins that they can face arrest if they are in this country illegally. That is simply a statement of the law of the land just like a No Parking sign. Every other country in the world, including countries where illegal immigrants come from, has similar laws. As a solicitor, the lady concerned should realise this, withdraw her complaint and thereby avoid making a fool out of herself and being charged with wasting police time. |
