What do other countries do to people who are caught in the country illegally?

Question

I live in the US and I'm curious about how other countries handle this problem.

I lived in TX last summer so I have some idea of what is going on there.

I posted this question in the United Kingdom section. There are LOTS of people from foreign countries on here.

Answer 1

In England people are ilegally openly ariving here from all corners of the globe,statistics record that 60%ariving from outside the E.U. are Muslim,whose culture is alien to host country,as they state they do not recognise our laws and democracy,only the writings of Allah and the koran,and the world belongs to Allah.We have a goverment that does nothing effective to stop this,it actually encourages it by sending the message out to the rest of the planet that if you are not at the moment in possesion of a house or income then if you make your way here it will be provided. The vast majority here are aghast at the anarchy and wilful destruction of the rule of Law, made worse by the realisation it is being done by our own goverment. If any one with half of one brain cell looked at the globe they would realise it is a cruel deception on the immigrants and the host country,and it is hard to believe that people who are presumed responsible enough to head a goverment could oversee what is becoming an unfolding tragedy

Answer 2

Depending on the country, they usually put them in jail for a while and then deport them. Usually the deportion is the hard way. A boot to the border or a demand for $$$$$ fromt he offending country who's illegal they have caught.
It of course goes on that these folks who are illegal are beaten, extorted from, fined/bribed and perhaps worse.
Some may not live to see another day.
Bad as it is ...it tends to work.
That being said, I don't believe in that approach but I do think the countries of those breaking the law should be obligated to pay for deportation plus a fine.
IF that is not done, keep the illegals in jail for a while and then send them home.
Enought of this and illegal entry wouldn't be so desirable.
In extemes of fear of death and so on, certainly there should be opportunities for victims to be protected and given citizenship.

Mexico has a serious illegal problem on it's southern border. They arrest them 'if they can' to deport them. When the illegals run - they SHOOT THEM and do not provide medical care.

Considering that little fact - makes me wonder why Mexico has a problem with us just deporting their citizens. It is much more humane that what they are doing on their borders.

Most Asian countries just shoot to kill those that attempt to enter their country illegally.

Same thing with many of the African countries - shoot to kill.

It is only the 'first world' countries where such isn't happening.

Answer 4

Well in the UK, by and large, we give them a piece of paper that tells them they are very naughty and ask them to come to our office at some point in the future. They don't. Some people might think this is stupid but as a government employee I couldn't take sides.

Answer 5

I'm an American currently living in Mexico so I can only speak for it. If you are caught in Mexico illegally, you will be immediately be deported. Period. Mexico has very strict immigration laws that are enforced! Wouldn't it be nice if the US would do the same?

Answer 6

Siervocal
What makes you think that "most people have never been out of the country that post on here.
You don't KNOW anything about the people that post on here.

Answer 7

i know family from other nations and i lived in another nation myself. they are actually much stricer in immigration law and they do not ***** foot around. most illegals have no legal righst unlike the usa. that is why so many keep flocking many in the are eager to circumvent the laws as well so they keep coming.

Answer 8

Some shoot them on sight, others go to prisons, and if you think our prisons are bad, well in most countrys ours seem more like hotels. And then sometimes years later, you may get sent back.

Answer 9

In the UK they apply for asylum and that takes ages, in the meantime they get a roof, TV/video, sometimes a refrigerator, free english lessons, money/benefits, help with businesses etc etc basically everything that i cannot get he he we have 98 different languages in my city.

Answer 10

well they sure as hell don't give them the right to appeal, unlike the UK, who tolerate so much abuse by these people who come here illegally and take advantage of our generosity, abuse our hospitality commit crimes, and then get on touch with the European court of human rights saying we are victimising them !!
