The government were told this was happening

Last March I blogged that failed asylum seekers were being paid £3500 to leave Britain. I also said that some were coming back after getting the money and trying to claim even more.

At the last count 400 failed asylum seekers had come back and most were allowed to stay in this country, presumably without giving the money back.

It’s now been more than a year since the media highlighted what was happening but it seems the government still has not done anything about it. Well they haven’t with criminals anyway.

Hakim Benmakhlouf is an Algerian immigrant and also a thief. He was paid £3000 to leave the country. If I was in charge he wouldn’t have been given a choice or the money but the government in their wisdom decided to give him the money and the next day he was back in Britain committing crime again and he is now taking up valuable space in our prisons and we still won’t see a penny of that £3000 that we gave him.
