If they don't take him back, we can say: well, we're simply going to stop or restrict issuing visas to people from Pakistan to come here.
We need to leave the European Convention on Human Rights so that all illegal immigrants can be deported within a week of arrival - then the crossings would soon stop.
Two-tier policing is real. It is hardcoded into policy documents, recruitment, and training.
What is needed is a binding cap which Parliament can vote on, so Parliament can decide how many visas are issued each year.
