IMMIGRATION

The extent of the judiciary’s determination to promote mass immigration, including illegal immigration, knows no bounds. The latest example being the marriage by proxy of a Polish immigrant to a Brazilian at a ceremony where neither attended. The 15 minute ceremony took place in Brazil, with friends and a lawyer in attendance.

Although marriage by proxy is illegal in Britain, it is legal in Brazil. Therefore Judge David Allen pronounced that the marriage was therefore valid under English law and that because the Brazilian is married to a Pole, then under EU law he is entitled to British residency.

The potential for abuse and exploitation by organized crime rackets does not take much imagination. Sir Andrew Green of MigrationWatch said:

‘This is a ludicrous outcome. It drives a coach and horses through the government’s efforts to prevent sham marriages. Those who succeed by this bizarre route can obtain a meal ticket for life at the British taxpayer’s expense.’
