Immigration Service Revamp
Rebuilding Confidence in Our Immigration SystemHome Office Press Release
25 July 2006
The new objectives are designed to:
* strengthen our borders, use tougher checks abroad so that only
those with permission can travel to the UK, and ensure we know who
leaves so that we can take action against those who break the
rules;
* fast track asylum decisions, remove those whose claims fail and
integrate those who need our protection;
* ensure and enforce compliance with our immigration laws,
removing the most harmful people first and denying the privileges
of Britain to those here illegally; and
* boost Britain's economy by bringing the right skills here from
around the world, and ensuring this country is easy to visit
legally.
