Review of immigrants’ ‘right to family life’
03/07/2011 Legg igjen en kommentar
The Home Office is to review part of its immigration policy relating to the European Convention on Human Rights.
It will examine Article 8 which gives people the right to a family, but which critics say is being used by illegal immigrants to dodge deportation.
The review follows several recent court cases which ruled people could stay because their family life would be threatened if they were made to leave.
The government said the review was part of managing migration.
Critics have called Article 8 a legal loophole, used by some people with children abroad to fight deportation.
