From: Gareth Robson, Kent House Road, Beckenham.
I read with interest and some frustration the essay by Andrew Vine in The Yorkshire Post today . Frustration because the term 'illegal migration' crops up once again and because the overall thrust of the article seems to be ‘keep 'em out’ rather than asking why we have such stark inequality around the globe and between different branches of our human family. That's what needs fixing. But on the question of identity cards I am mostly in tune with the points Andrew makes.
It would also help reduce crime. But this being Britain, our resourceful criminals would find ways around it in no time flat, I am quite sure. Every migrant I have met has been delighted once they have received formal documents, NI number, and begun working legally and paying tax. Sadly, before that day arrived, they have usually been forced to endure years of inactivity whilst their court case drags its way through the quagmire.
