crumlin Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Have you got a problem on the Island with illegal immigrants as the Passport office has created two new posts to deal with the said problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-rhymes Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I really don't know if it's a major problem. I remember a couple of Malaysians got caught (I think outstaying their Visas) a while ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple of Malaysians got caught (I think outstaying their Visas) a while ago... There's been a few others I've heard about, but not many. Edit to add - what exactly are these posts? Officers at the ports or civil servants in offices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 There is the potential to be a big problem, but I don't know if the govt is being proactive or reactive in this instance. The IOM could be seen as a place where illegal immigrants can drop of the UK radar so measures are being put in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollag Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 They really should be spotted at the work permit stage, unless naughty employers are paying off the books, Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple of Malaysians got caught (I think outstaying their Visas) a while ago... It can hardly be said that they're stealing people's jobs considering the low unemployment rate. I bet anyone who is here illegal is paying their way like the rest of us. Why would anyone travel across the world just to claim ('scrounge' if you're a Daily Mail reader) benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Have you got a problem on the Island with illegal immigrants as the Passport office has created two new posts to deal with the said problem. They've been issued with photos of Rog and PK and ordered to keep them from returning - at any cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Why would anyone travel across the world just to claim ('scrounge' if you're a Daily Mail reader) benefits Some have turned up demanding AIDS treatment. I think they were shipped back to the UK to be dealt with there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Terrible eh? Some people can be so selfish. Do you expect the IOM to supply expensive AIDS treatment for free to anyone in the world who turns up asking for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Ignore the troll..... Is that right Old Git? People have just turned up for medical treatment? What a sheltered life I lead... so had they just hopped over from the UK or had they pitched up from further afield???? Mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 so had they just hopped over from the UK or had they pitched up from further afield???? Much further afield. They were illegal immigrants in the UK, and then came over here demanding treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
