New Immigration Officer Powers

New Powers Boost Immigration Officers Power to Protect UK Borders
Home Office Press Release
26 January 2007
Building stronger borders, tackling organised crime and removing
incentives for illegal immigrants to come to Britain are at the
heart of the UK Borders Bill published today.  The Bill will
equip the new Border and Immigration Agency with a wide range of
new powers to deter, detect and deport those breaking the rules
and ensure that those foreign nationals legally in the UK play
their part in upholding the rules.
