Text messages reminding people not to overstay their visas are part of a new drive by the government to clamp down on illegal migrants.

Nonsense, it will deter illegal migrants to go on the run. It would only work if they have a mobile phone. |

Seems like a waste of time and money to me - it's just giving a warning to those who wish to stay, that they better hurry up and find somewhere to lay low once their visa does expire.
There certainly doesn't appear to be a coherent policy regarding asylum seekers and illegal immigrants in this country - just endless failures to address the problem of increasing numbers, where to house them, how to process them quickly and how to return them if they fail.

We need our own Ellis Island - how about Milton Keynes?

They could send a telegram to those who can't afford phones.
