Illegal Immigration 'Crackdown'

New initiative on illegal immigration in the UK four hundred and forty police officers are being brought in.

People-trafficking and all its associated evils is one of the fastest-growing and most vicious crimes, yet the government's policy so far has been one of neglect.
David Davis
Shadow home secretary

Home Secretary, John Reid, has unveiled plans for 800 new immigration staff an increase of 25%.

In the plan, Britons involved in people-smuggling will be arrested, the public will be encouraged to report suspects and firms will face larger fines.

The 400 police constables and 40 sergeants moving across to the Immigration and Nationality Directorate will be joined by 360 newly-recruited immigration officers.

But police are "badly needed" on the beat, say the Conservatives, whilst the Lib Dems want "new, not redeployed" staff.

However, a Home Office spokeswoman insisted: "We are very clear that we do not want this to have an impact on police officers' frontline work. There won't be any police officers taken off the front line.

But shadow home secretary, David Davis, criticised the government's record on the subject.

"Over the last nine years, we have actually seen immigration officers instructed not to arrest illegal immigrants, merely to meet the prime minister's artificial targets on removing failed asylum-seekers. People-trafficking and all its associated evils is one of the fastest-growing and most vicious crimes, yet the government's policy so far has been one of neglect."

Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, Nick Clegg, said: "a truly integrated border force" is needed rather than to "shift police officers away from their current duties. The government itself has admitted it would cost 104m to secure every port of entry into this country. Clegg goes on to ask: "Why then has John Reid failed to announce any new funding while tens of thousands of pounds a day are wasted on identity cards?"

Crimestoppers

Under the plans, members of the public will - for the first time - be able to report illegal workers and illegal immigrants using the free Crimestoppers telephone line from 1 January.

I'm fearful that's going to lead to discrimination against anybody who looks as though they might be a foreigner

Immigration Advisory Service

The government has already said it would be doubling the budget for deportations to nearly 300m, and a bill tackling deportations was included in last week's Queen's Speech.

And, by the end of 2007, ministers intend to create 650 extra detention spaces for illegal immigrants

The measures are seen as a response to criticism from political opponents about a perceived failure to deport enough of those identified as being in the UK illegally.

There were nearly 5,000 deportations in the last three-month period for which figures were available - a record - but it estimated that 500,000 people remain in the UK illegally.

Penalising Businesses

The idea of penalising businesses is apparently not favoured by the Immigration Advisory Service, which said firms would become "reluctant to recruit anybody".

CSI (Season 4) DVD Review

Nominated for 20 Emmys and 6 Golden Globes, including Best TV Series - Drama, CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) quickly rose to become the number one show on television following its Fall 2000 premiere. The brainchild of creator Anthony Zuiker, the show follows the investigations not of traditional TV detectives working the streets, but forensic scientists who unravel complicated crime mysteries in their ultra-modern laboratory. Either the #1 or the #2 Nielsen rated show since the start of its second season, CSI has helped CBS to reemerge as the #1 network television station, spawning (similar to predecessor Law & Order) two series spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: New York. Each exciting hour-long episode begins with the theme song "Who Are You" by The Who, a song more than befitting of a show where criminals are aggressively tracked down, sometimes years after committing their crimes

CSI focuses on the Las Vegas Police Department's Crime Scene Investigation nightshift unit headed by Gil Grissom (William Petersen), a quirky outsider whose obsessive quest for the facts and dedication to his work dominates his life. The CSI team is composed of a number of individuals with differing backgrounds and personalities - single mother Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) specializes in blood-splatter analysis, the highly competitive Nick Stokes (George Eads) specializes in hair and fiber analysis, recovering gambling addict Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) specializes in audio/visual analysis, and the rambunctious Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) specializes in materials and element analysis. Throw in hard-nosed homicide captain Jim Brass (Paul Guifoyle), CSI understudy Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda), and lab coroner Al Robbins (Robert David Hall) and all the ingredients are present for a show wrought with suspense, drama, and tension. As transients from all walks of life travel to Las Vegas to enjoy the wonders of its adult playground, increased levels of crime accompany them, and the team at CSI is determined to stay a step ahead of the criminal element

The CSI (Season 4) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere "Assume Nothing" in which the CSI team investigates a series of murders involving couples. When one couple meets another in a bar, and the second couple turns up dead, the police suspect a tandem of serial killers are on the loose Other notable episodes from Season 4 include "Jackpot" in which a severed head is mailed to the CSI coroner, Dr. Robbins, from Jackpot, Nevada, and "Early Rollout" in which the CSI team investigates the execution-style murder of a porn star and her husband while the CSI also suffers from some internal difficulties
