Great moments in deportation law

“An Iraqi immigrant who stabbed two doctors to death has won the right to stay in Britain after a judge ruled that he would pose a danger to the public in his homeland. … The Home Office wanted to deport him on his release to protect the British public,” but a tribunal ruled that a violation of international human rights because Laith Alani would pose a danger to the Iraqi public and himself. Presumably it’s better for the British public to face the dangers. [Telegraph]

  • So someone will suffer…so grant the guy citizenship? Also if he’d be a danger to himself in his homeland, he’d still be a danger to himself in Britain.

  • It would appear that the British get their judges from the residents at the same facility where Laith Alani has spent the last 19 years.

  • From the article:

    Yet he killed two doctors in the UK, so obviously he wasn’t under control there either.

  • What’s with this comment system, that won’t let me edit, delete, or even preview a comment before posting??

    In any case, from the article:
    “One of the reasons given by the judges is that if Alani was sent back to Iraq he would be unlikely to receive medicine which keeps his paranoid schizophrenic under control.”

    Yet he killed two doctors in the UK, so obviously he wasn’t under control there either.

  • So, in other words, these judges have just declared that being a violent criminal entitles you to British residency. No doubt this will lead to two results: (a) some non-violent criminals facing deportation will commit crimes of violence to avoid deportation, and (b) more foreign criminals will relocate to Britain because their status as criminals will grant them immunity from deportation.

    Morally, this is completely depraved. As Ayn Rand said, “Mercy for the guilty is treason to the innocent. “

  • Give Laith Alani a place to live next door to Senior Immigration Judge Lance Waumsley.
