The 1971 Act provided protections for long-term UK residents but should not be used as a bar against removal in cases like that of Shabir Ahmed.
This approach means those in need of protection arrive with the consent of communities and with the financial support of their sponsor, and not the taxpayer.
There is nothing fair about a system that is based upon uncontrolled, unsafe and illegal routes into this country.
