Why can't we just deport terror suspects?

Question

According to this morning's Sunday Times, "Sources suggested the government was likely to use the latest attacks as an opportunity to impose tougher control orders on those terror suspects it has been unable to jail because of a lack of evidence admissible in court.

Seven of the 17 people so far placed on control orders have absconded in recent months. They include a suspect who was previously said to have been interested in carrying out a car bomb attack against a London night-club. The tougher controls would include longer curfews and police guards on suspects’ homes. "

These measures must cost taxpayers a lot. Why can't we just send these people back to their native countries, or if they were born here, to their parents/grandparents native countries. Human rights are a fine concept, but if you ask me, anyone willing to carry out the kind of activity we have seen this week should lose their entitlement to stay in this country immediately.

Answer 1

They need to be imprisoned or executed!!!!!! Deporting them doesn't solve anything. They'll keep coming back here or they will kill people overseas.

Answer 2

The word SUSPECTS is the word.I always thought a person was presumed inocent until a court convicted and said guilty.Then by all means deport.In 1942-43 Hitler sent millions to the gas chambers and although all we hear about is the Jews he also gassed SUSPECTED homosexuals,Gypsies and such like.If the courts cannot try the suspect because of lack of evidence then that person is innocent or presummed innocent or are we going down the track of having "THOUGHT POLICE" and automatically convicting people for thinking because if we went down that track we would imprison virtually everyone in the country with the exception of the politicians(The next though they have will be the first).There is however an argument that the ones who absconded after being given control orders be deported as they have broke the law.

Answer 3

perhaps we should build interment camps to hold all these suspects, and illegal immigrants, rather than rely on control orders These people give up any rights, once they attack the country that's taken them in, or have turned against the country they were born in. To me these people are guilty of treason, which is still subject to the death penalty, we should re-introduce the law and stop being so nice to these scum who have betrayed their host country. Do you think if we went and lived in their country, we would be treated so lenient if we carried out action like the one this week, i know for sure we wouldn't, and they would behead us in public. This is the only law these people understand, Let hope Gordon Brown will be the man for the job, or will he prove to be as weak as Tony Blair, when it comes to protecting the people of this country ?

Answer 4

anyone, no matter of culture, colour or creed that wants to, or does inflict any act of terrorism needs to be stopped. the perfect way would be before they have chance to do anything..... prevention and all that. if we need to deport anyone suspected of being involved then so be it! some people are so extreme in their beliefs that they would do anything to kill people! how can the usual threat of a prison sentence discourage them if they would lay down their own lives to murder innocent people??
by stopping them accessing their so called targets.... hopefully this may stop some attacks.
one thing that does always puzzle me though about the extremists, is if they hate "us" so much... why don't they choose to live with people they want to live with?

Answer 5

You are so right they most certainly should be deported, this countries government need to wake up and get tough with terrorists. Human rights what about the human rights of the people they are trying to kill, or even kill there families human rights.

Answer 6

we cant deport terror suspects , we need to lock them away from the world,or maybe load em all on a 747 & crash it in too mecca?sound fair? whats good for the goose... and all that
we do however need to deport everyone who is living here to escape saddam hussain, hes dead know so you can all go home, in fact lets deport any one who does not want to integrate with society,
yousef, i think youll find this all started when the mussers brought down the twin towers. bit off a bit more than they could chew me thinks

Answer 7

yes i agree with the deporting of terrorists..but a lot of them were born here...i read there are 1,600 terrorists living here....and 200 cells...and police even know who they are...so pick them all up send them to where there parents originated from because we dont want them kind of people living here...... maybe then the police could get on with the normal everyday policeing...they have a hard job as it is...

Answer 8

What if the "native" countries refused to take them because they hold a British passport?

Answer 9

Totally agree with what you are saying. How about our human rights. We the British people, our rights are being taken away from us because of these crazed fanatics.

Answer 10

How do you deport British born terrorists? Where do you deport a British person too?

Answer 11

because we have civil rights, they cost money, i would rather spend the money, than to give up my civil rights earned by my forefathers blood than to let fearmongering remove my rights......
action based on supposition is only supposition, would you like to be held in jail, deported to another country for reasons based only on supposition or assumptions.....

i do follow your point of logic, and see the merits of it, just cannot agree with it...
