Dramatic drop in deportations due to 'softer' approach

The number of would-be refugees being deported has dramatically fallen even though more than 6,000 failed asylum- seekers are classified as "evading deportation".

Immigration sources said it appeared a much softer approach was now being taken when it came to enforcing deportation orders, with only 43 people returned to their home in the first five months of the year.

The numbers have shown a six-fold decline compared to 2004, when 599 people were deported. This year, the number is not expected to exceed 100, the lowest since large numbers of asylum-seekers began arriving in the state around a decade ago.

'What's the price?'
These people aren't fools.
'What's the price, to leave your jurisdiction and relieve you of a headache?'
I looked up www.iomdublin.com. There was vague mention of assistance with 'reintegration' for illegals who return home. Utterly unconvincing. Why should I break cover for that?
Offer cash, payable in the home country, a lump sum then declining sums paid every two weeks over several months. More if you shop your traffickers. Let's get real! We've got embassies-make them work.

Exactly ! They have it good here, working in the black economy or making money from crime.
