Telegraph: Foreign criminals will no longer be able to argue 'right to family life' to stay in Britain

Judges must stop blocking the deportation of foreign criminals from Britain because the right to family life is "not absolute", Theresa May has said.

The Home Secretary will call a vote this week allowing MPs to decide how to "balance the interests" of prisoners' and the wider general public. She told the BBC that judges must "follow or take into account" the views of Parliament before coming to decisions on whether prisoners should be deported.

The right to a family life is enshrined in under European law. The rules allow hundreds of foreign criminals to delay or prevent deportation each year. The Home Secretary said the Government is prepared to bring in new laws if judges ignore the views of Parliament, setting her on a collision course with the judiciary.

According to Home Office figures, last year 185 foreign prisoners successfully appealed against deportation after citing the right to family life.

Among those who who the right to stay last year after making human rights arguments included: .

• A 28-year-old Congolese man who was handed four years' imprisonment for causing grievous bodily harm with intent – by battering a man with a metal pole – but won his appeal against deportation because he had an infant son.

• A Lebanese man who was a prime mover in a £3 million fraud, and who admitted receiving £258,000 from the crime to fund a lavish lifestyle including a Mercedes, a Range Rover and expensive watches. The 40-year-old was jailed for 40 months but allowed to remain in the UK because of the effect that deporting him would have had on his children and wife, who was also jailed for her role in the fraud.

• A Pakistani man, aged 40, jailed for eight years for conspiracy to import Class A drugs and conspiracy to kidnap, whose lawyers argued that he should stay in Britain because of his "right to family life".

Immigration Minister Damian Green said: ''We will shortly be announcing a major overhaul of the existing family migration rules, to reduce burdens on the taxpayer, promote integration and tackle abuse. ''The reforms will protect the British public from foreign criminals who try to abuse human rights laws to avoid deportation. ''We plan to make it clear when the rights of the law abiding majority will outweigh a foreign criminal's right to family and private life.''

In October David Cameron also said the right to a family life granted by the Human Rights Act is not inalienable and can be overridden. The Human Rights Act was introduced by Labour in 1998. While in opposition, David Cameron and his party repeatedly promised to scrap the act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights.

Daily Mail: New immigration clampdown demands £20,000 salary for Brits to marry a foreigner

British citizens who marry foreigners will have to earn at least £20,000 a year if they want to set up their family home in the UK under a new immigration clampdown. The planned changes mean lower-paid Britons would be forced to emigrate if they wanted to live with a loved one from overseas. And if the foreign-born spouse had children, their British partner would have to earn £30,000 or more, depending on how many children they had.

They will also have to pass a strict new 'combined attachment test' to prove they share a genuine loyalty to Britain, not another country, and they will remain on probation for five years instead of the current two. The proposals, to be announced by Home Secretary Theresa May, are expected to cut immigration, currently standing at 250,000 a year, by 25,000.

They are designed primarily to combat claims that some foreigners are marrying Britons to take advantage of the UK's generous welfare system.

Kuulisipa jonkun suomalaispoliitikon sanovan, että esimerkiksi tappajien ja raiskaajien perhesiteet eivät voi olla este karkoitukselle kotimaahansa.

Toi on tosiaan ollut koomista. Jopa terroristit ovat saaneet tuon avulla torjuttua karkotuksen, missä ei tosiaan enää ole mitään järkeä.

Niin pitääkin olla. Ilahduttavaa havaita, että Euroopasta löytyy vielä täysipäistäkin hallitusporukkaa.
