Banks and building societies are to carry out immigration checks on 70m current accounts from January in the biggest extension of Theresa May’s plans to create a “hostile environment” for illegal immigrants in Britain, the Guardian has learned.

The Home Office expects to identify 6,000 visa overstayers, failed asylum seekers and foreign national offenders facing deportation in the first year of the checks, which are to be carried out quarterly.

The accounts of those identified will be closed down or frozen “to make it harder for them to establish or maintain a settled life in the UK”. Officials say freezing accounts that hold significant sums “will create a powerful incentive [for those involved] to agree to voluntary departure” so they can secure their money once they have left the country.

Immigration welfare campaigners warned that the Home Office’s recent record meant it could not be trusted to implement this new system without errors and that migrants with every right to be in Britain were likely to be hit by mistakes in the imposition of the checks.

A few years back there was a purge of foreigners round here.

The bit I heard about involved not renewing visas for a lot of academics. It involved the interruption of significant and funded research projects contributed to by specialists from all over the world.

Freezing bank accounts holding significant sums sounds like going for easy targets to boost statistics, without the consequence necessarily being at all beneficial to the country.

Like the Cardiff schoolboy who was dragged out of class by police on his last day with his peers before returning to his home country with his parents the following day, I wonder what resources and inhumanities will be expended in packing people off who are already packed for the off.

At what point will people be taking advantage?

The moment their visas aren't renewed, but before the information about this is put in the post?

The day before they are due to leave the country like the Cardiff schoolboy, but when they need access to their accounts to pay for a taxi to the airport to leave?

Really Jac? You think an illegal immigrant who is about to leave the country is going to leave money in a bank account? Don't you think they will have changed every penny to the currency they need for the next hosting country?

A far more important question that should be asked is "How can someone who is an illegal immigrant actually hold a valid bank account" There should be a system tied to a visa, such as no visa no account and that automatically closes an account hours after the expiration of the said visa.

People have bank accounts in different countries, regardless of their residency.

People have bank accounts in the country they have a visa to reside in.

Say they have a visa to cover an academic research project contract. If that contract is extended, or they secure another, they might apply for an extension of their visa.

If that visa is refused to make the government statistics look good, regardless of the long term advantage of a country's research status, or product...and the academic's bank account is frozen within hours of refusal, it's possible that they won't have the means to leave the country.

Cue more financial expense deporting someone who would have otherwise got a job and taken their valuable expertise to benefit a less stupid country.

:dunno'

It's also a fabulous way to promote crime.


Make sure the immigrants all have to store their cash in their homes out of fear of seizure..

Then recruit local law enforcement as immigration enforcement adjuncts,

so criminals know the immigrants won't report the breakins.


Now the immigrants are left to their own devices for self defense.

Now you have real increased violence from the immigrant population...


If you make them a target, and take away their protection from local law enforcement bad things happen..


It's not incompetence.

It's intentional.

mumbling Good to see the nets working well today , If it were me I would open a bank Account in France or Ireland and use internet banking . Looks more like a feeble attempt by May to look tough on migrants while not costing her a bean . Dirty cow is working hard to undermine Brixit .
