アメリカ国籍をもった子供の親が国外退去させられて、泣きながら家族一緒にアメリカで暮らす権利を訴えた、ということ。

Following the Panorama programme on BBC 1 (Monday, 9-03-2009), a campaign in support for amnesty for so called ' illegal immigrants' in the UK has began.

Already 19 British MPs and the Mayor of London have thrown their big weights behind this charitable move.

Over 750,000 precious lives are suffering in the UK due to harsh immigration laws. Most of these people are very hard working and law abiding fellow human beings who are being made to live like second class citizens.

Immigrant amnesty would be wrong, says Kent MP

"The experience of other countries like Spain and Italy is that the long term impact is for it to encourage even more illegal immigrants."

こっちは逆に、恩赦するとスペインやイタリアをみればわかるように、より多くの不法移民が来てしまうから、恩赦は駄目だ、という論説


No ‘green card’ for long-term OFWs in CNMI

GARAPAN, Saipan – No “green card" or US permanent residency status will be granted to overseas Filipino workers and other foreign laborers by virtue of their years of legal employment in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) when the transition to federal immigration begins on June 1, 2009.

This is according to Michael Aytes, acting deputy director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, who is currently in the CNMI capital of Saipan.

“Temporary workers will not getpermanent residence simply because they worked here for a period of years," he told GMANews.TV.

Doca, who is also the president of the Pilipino Contract Workers Association (Pilcowa), said workers are still hoping they will be granted a better immigration status once the transition period begins.

He said this is especially true among those who have US citizen children and who may be asked to leave the CNMI if they don’t have a legal employment in the CNMI once the transition begins.

Nigerian woman loses 'family unity' deportation case　魚拓

A YOUNG Nigerian woman, whose two sisters were born here and are Irish citizens and whose mother has been permitted to stay here until 2012, has lost her High Court attempt to halt her deportation on grounds of the principle of family unity.

It was regrettable the decision meant the woman would now have to be removed from the country and that deportation will bar her from any return here, the judge added.

He said emotional ties between her and her siblings will have to be expressed by visits by them to her in Nigeria.

In her High Court proceedings, the woman argued she was entitled to remain here in light of Article 41 of the Constitution on protection of the family, and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), providing for respect for family life and the home.

Mr Justice Charleton said he could not see how having an Irish sister gives a foreign citizen any constitutional or statutory right to come and live in Ireland.

He also found no substantial reasons to support the woman’s entitlement to assert family life rights under the ECHR.

アイルランド。事案は姉妹がアイルランド国籍、親は２０１２年まで滞在を許可されえちる。で、アイルランド国籍のない姉妹がアイルランドにいることができるか、というのが問題。
裁判所はEUの法律に照らしても、それは不可、とした。
因みに、任意ではなく、強制退去させられると、この人、アイルランドに家族に会いにくることもできなくなる、ということです。

The Finnish public´s attitudes to immigration have hardened over the past two years, national daily Helsingin Sanomat quoted a poll as indicating on Tuesday.

According to the poll carried out for the paper by Taylor Nelson Sofres, about 45 per cent of the public would welcome an increase in immigration, compared with some 56 per cent returned by a similar poll conducted in January 2007.

About 44 per cent of the respondents said they were against an increase in immigration, up from some 36 per cent two years ago.

TNS interviewed 1,000 people in early March. The market research company puts the margin of error at three percentage points either way.（魚拓）

New immigration rules mean that foreign Christian musicians and missionaries to the UK could be deported if they are not sponsored by a licensed organisation and obtain the necessary visas.

　キリスト教関係の歌手やあるいは、ボランティアは就労ビザがないと入国できない、ということで、ある意味当たり前のように思うのですが・・・・

So essentially you can stay [in the UK] as a tourist for six months, but if you want to volunteer some of your time working in a soup kitchen, you have to have a work visa.

"ボランティアの方は観光ビザで入ろうとしたのかもしれません。不法移民を取り締まるために規制が厳しくなったとのこと。
