South Africans face visa curb to shut terrorists’ route

Post by Dawie » Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:00 am

South Africans may be required to obtain visas to visit Britain under moves to close routes exploited by people-smugglers and terrorists.

Law enforcement agencies have been putting pressure on ministers to overhaul immigration rules that allow South African passport holders to enter Britain without a visa and stay for six months.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) recently smashed a people-smuggling gang that brought more than 6,000 illegal immigrants into Britain on forged or stolen South African passports.

In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.
