Thoughts on deporting immigrant criminals...
Listening to Radio 2 today coming back from playing squash and the honourable Charles Clarke and Mister Blair were discussing the issue of immigrants being sent back to their own countries to serve prison sentences for offences committed in this country.
This is a very touchy and difficult decision to make. I think the legal implications are easy enough, but as for the moral dilema, the matter requires a lot more thought.
Primarily, these are real humans who have sought real asylum and other than `Britian's tradition` (as radio 2 called it) not to send people to war-torn countries, I cannot think of another argument advocating these offenders staying in our country.
A caller person rang in when the House of Commons all went and had their sarnies and panda pops for lunch saying about her human rights to be able to walk down the street without having to be murdered.
My main dilema was `what forfeit's a person's right to asylum?`. I'm no human right's lawyer so i don't feel qualified to answer that question, but it's an interesting point.
If these people risk getting murdered when going home, do they forfeit their right to asylum by stealing to prop up their Social Security cheques at home? Is that the pot calling theunion jack kettle black?
... And here, i just go back to paragraph three and my thoughts on this subject just repeat themselves...
As such, i think this is a tricky decisions for the House of Commoners to make, and not one I envy.

Why are a person's rights called in to question as soon as they commit a crime? From a Christian veiwpoint I don't think this should be the case
