Illegal immigrants: 57 deported Pakistanis escape from Islamabad airport

Very sad indeed. This is 21st Century and still we are living life of ignorants. Hundreds are made fool by agents . Why ittle or no action is taken to arrest those agents ? A proper crackdown after all planning?
Sigh ! Its a game and this mafia wants to rob even the last penny from a common man’s pocket. May Allah show us right path.

Unless airlines are letting people onto planes with guns then what this article is saying is that a bunch of unarmed civilians/criminals beat up the police who were at the airport to take them into custody?

Unfortunately, that’s exactly how it is. The whole asylum seeking business is a big scam. Anything from travel agencies, to the lawyers in the host countries “help” by coaching the “political asylees”. I have tried to obtain the right figures, but even the immigration authorities can not guesstimate the exact number of fraudulent cases.

I know it is no solace, that the scam is run by folk from many other countries too. The biggest losers, obviously are those who may have genuine need of protection.

You don’t need to try very hard to guesstimate. At least 99% of the asylum seekers are frauds. Western countries have been real fools to let in these bogus asylum seekers who only help to put their social welfare system under increasing financial strain.

This gives “cause” to ultra nationalists/neo-Nazis to demand immediate closure of borders and not let in anyone from certain parts of the world. Ultra nationalists were despised, considered marginal and ignored. Now their presence in the legislative bodies of Europe has risen to 15%. As coalition partners they play more than a cursory role. in making policies specially concerning immigration or migrant culture.

One more reason why Turkish admission to EU is looked at with jaundiced eyes.

“They committed no crime in PAK”

Thrashing FIA staff, in my books would be a crime.

Running away from custody would be another crime.

Should I go on….?

There have been lengthy discussions in USA and elsewhere on the socio-economic impacts of illegal migration on the host country. Most debates conclude that it is beneficial for the economy of the host country if done in a controlled manner and must it be allowed to continue instead of total stoppage. The basic argument in support of illegal migration is that it provides cheap labor; as they are willing to work at below minimum wages without demanding other benefits; their willingness to do certain type of jobs which otherwise legal worker do not wish to do, and their consumption benefit the economy. As they are illegal in the first place, their deportation, whenever needed, is not a problem.

@Abid P Khan:

You are right. The rise of the right wing should not be surprising especially in many EU countries and UK. They have been too lax in tackling illegal immigration and as a result, it has caused great social and economic problems in these countries. The situation is also getting worse in the US where the illegal immigrant population has increased to 14 million.

“Hopefully they don’t call it “Our Economic Planning” for the Future. Because it’s their failure not success that contributed to it, and it can go away too like others countries over time.”

In 60′s Turkey had the fastest rate of population growth in the world. One of the secrets of Turkish economic wonder (and some other countries) has been the export of cheap labour and hungry mouths. Whatever the amount of money that was remitted home did not make a substantial dent in the economy of the country.

Smuggled goods etc fuel the black market, White Economy the country has, starts turning grey, a lot directly to black (money transfer through contacts). From customs to immigration authorities charge a little fee for letting the business run smoothly. Money comes in the country, making some individuals rich but it does not enhance the pouch of the national exchequer. Property prices are driven up. It may even trigger a building boom.

Labour export has a huge down side to it too despite pulling out a section of the population out of poverty.
