Nothing is simple in the Western Welfare Democracies. I am more than happy that people who simply want to work here are allowed to do so but that is not the nature of the migration<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://immigration-planning.blogspot.com/2011/06/uk-visitor-visas_26.html" rel="nofollow">UK Visitor Visas</a><br />nancy johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693074677100549710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-82158749874129968442015-01-04T02:43:22.107-08:002015-01-04T02:43:22.107-08:00It seems that the EMN uses the UK Home Office'...It seems that the EMN uses the UK Home Office's data for the number of people in immigration detention at one time (i.e. the beginning or end of the year), which is around 2,300 - 2,600. This is misleading. If they used the total number of people detained during the year – approx 29,0000 - 30,000, the UK would rank second only to France (or ahead of France, if you don’t count their overseas territories). The smaller figure also significantly distorts the picture of total scale of detention in all EU Member States. For example, the EMN synthesis report shows that 92,575 were in detention in the EU in 2013. This uses the Home office figure for the number of people in detention at the end of December 2013 (2,796). But taking the figure for the number of people who had entered detention in the UK in 2013 (30,423) would bring the total detainees in the EU from approximately 93,000 up to about 120,000.
