[Music] 25,000 men and women work for the UK border agency. At home and abroad, their job is to seek out the law breakers and imposters who don't have a right to be here. They are the UK border force. Tonight inside an immigration removal center, >> a chartered flight for illegal immigrants. It's >> immigration service. >> A surprise raid on a Chinese takeaway. >> You're under arrest. Watch your head. >> And the man who thinks this immigration officer should be doing something better. >> What I want to say, I don't want to waste your time. >> Listen, I'm getting paid to do this. You're not wasting my time. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. [Music] Calala. In 2008, UK border agency teams found 20,000 people hiding in trucks headed for Britain. That's around 55 every day. Look at the back. >> It's estimated there are 1,500 immigrants living rough in Calala, many of whom are children. They make frequent attempts to creep aboard the freight trucks. Most live in the jungle, a forested area a few miles from the port. Others camp right outside the perimeter fence, waiting for the right moment to sneak onto a lorry. >> Today, Officer Maggie Woodard rushes to the Births, the place where lorries wait just before boarding the ferry. >> We've uh just had a phone call from our colleagues down at the Berths. We're going to go down there assist with the possibility of clandestines being found inside. Well, it was two. >> The clandestines have been found using CO2 probes that detect human breath. >> Has that got the >> My colleagues who were working down here probed this lorry and they got a high reading. They opened it up and they found these two illegals on the side of the lorry. Um, we're just trying to get them out now. >> One chance. >> One chance. >> We've spoken to the driver. He said his last stop was a Belgium, but we think he also mentioned a 50-minute stop just along the road for diesel. So, it's more than likely they are from the jungle originally. >> Officer Bowley discovers they used a familiar method to break into the truck. >> We've opened the trailer up and it looks like we've got a tilt cord here that the driver could have used in addition with the seal. Would have s sorted this whole problem out for him. Wouldn't have been in there. The driver failed to tie down and lock the canvas sides of his freight. >> It looks like when the driver was stopped, someone's opened up the side for him. They've scooted in and then someone's done all the hooks back up again. Once they've got in, driver's none the wiser. I would say 95% of the time there's got to be someone that's sealed the vehicle back up after them. >> How old? >> Where do you want to go? >> England. >> Why England? >> England. These clandestines aren't alone in thinking England holds the answer to their dreams. For them, it's the place to find work and start a new life. They'll keep on trying to defy the locking systems. On this occasion, the driver and his company were fined £1,300 for failing to secure the freight. >> Two gentlemen, maybe again tomorrow. They keep saying one chance for today. They'll know. They'll just keep trying. They willingly admit to us that they're going to keep trying, keep trying till we get to England. >> The areas where lries are searched are called the lanes. Here, officer Barrett has a high reading on his CO2 probe and has opened up the lorry. >> We can smell as soon as we came in the smell of clandestine. >> There's another clue clandestines are aboard. The distinct aroma of people who've been living rough. It's like a the bonfire sort of smell. >> Quite distinctive once you've >> sampled it a few times. >> Mark, what have we got? >> There's all different ones claiming to be Syrian, Afghan, and Iranian. >> This mixed international cargo is unusual as most clandestines travel in groups of fellow countrymen. >> The job more rewarding cuz that's what we're here to do to prevent clandestines entering the UK. >> Just one at a time, Judith. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And this is what the job's about. >> Just as it's becoming another routine operation, one of the men becomes hostile. >> Stay you guys. Hey. Hey. Stay. No, you stay. Okay. Camera goes, you stay. You stay here. Okay. You stay here. Sit down. 12. >> Might be best to stop filming this. They're just starting to get a bit agitated, so it might be best to take the camera away just for a second. >> The cameras back off to let the men calm down. >> For whatever reason, he decided that he didn't want to be on camera, I think, and be Oh, next one. >> Um, yeah, the easiest way to get rid of the camera is to kick off and get everybody to react. And there's always one, you know, there's generally a ring leader who will take charge, who's been here before and knows how it works. So they follow him. Yeah. After you. >> One chance. >> No. One chance. Not today. Tomorrow. One chance tomorrow. He's very smiley. >> Most clandestines are resigned to being caught and openly tell the officers how they got in. >> That last one that just came out said that they entered through the side of the uh vehicle and there's no tilt cord on it. >> Say again. If the driver had properly secured his freight, it could have stopped the clandestines from boarding. He was fined £1,200. >> Sometimes you do get some people like clandestines that they tend to get a bit irritable if they come through again and again and again and get bound all the time, but it's only the few. I mean, most of them are, you know, try again tomorrow. >> Coming up, tears at Heathrow >> made the decision. >> I'm knocking it out away. Yeah, I just want to have a shower. >> At this moment, you you you are inadmissible to the UK. >> Inside an immigration removal center, the man who wants a tax return. >> Going to get a move from anyone. I want all my taxes back. >> Mhm. >> And the London enforcement team spoiled dinner. >> All right, guys. Anyone speak English. [Music] At the outskirts of Heathrow is Colbrook Immigration Removal Center. It has the same security as a category B prison. It holds 400 men in two sections. One section is longterm. Hello. >> Many in here are foreign nationals who have already served a prison sentence. Once their sentence is over, they are brought here to wait for their paperwork to be completed so they can be sent home. This can be complicated and some have been here for years. Governments in some countries are reluctant to have people back with serious criminal records. There is also a shortterm section. This holds illegal immigrants for up to a week. >> Many here have been caught by enforcement teams and are from countries that are easier to negotiate with for their return. Colbrook's UK border agency office is where the removal papers are processed. >> Officer Raza is about to meet an Algerian man who has just completed a prison sentence. How you f you all right? >> Okay. He was convicted of uh of a crime in the UK. He was sentenced to 16 months for robbery and attempted robbery. Um so he's now obviously under immigration being detained under immigration powers. Um I'm just going to give you your deportation order. You will be required to leave and you're prohibited from entering the UK again as long as this order is in force. Okay. >> That's all for you. >> Okay. >> I've seen Farad before so I mean I know what he's like. uh tends to cooperate fairly well with immigration because he wants to go back to Algeria as soon as possible. Anyway, all if you just take a seat for the far side. Thank you. >> Officer Chima is about to see an illegal immigrant from Kosovo. The man was sent here after being arrested in a late night brawl. The police discovered he was here illegally and handed him to immigration. >> The home office. >> All right, Mr. Mr. Chima. I work here for the home office. Do you understand why you're being detained here? Well, somehow. Yes. >> Okay. Just to keep it brief, um, as you know, you were detained as someone who's to be removed from the UK. You have a flight back to Kosovo, Albania on the 14th of May, which is next Thursday. >> That's your flight itinerary there. That is your factual summary giving you history of your case and also who's in charge of your case. So, if you let your solicitor know what's happened, you can do so. >> No, nothing. >> Okay. Um, there is a list of duty solicitors available here for you. You can speak to the officers. Just want to go back. >> Okay, that's fine. >> The street fighter won't have long to wait. He'll be sent home next week on a specially chartered flight. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Officer Chima will speak to another Kosovan he wants to put on the same flight. >> Mr. Jufi had been here since 1998. He's been here a long time. Um we're going to serve removal ductions on him. Um he he he came here claiming asylum also his asylum claim was dismissed. In that time he's been working. >> He arrived in 1998 and claimed asylum. >> Did you sufi? You take a seat on the far side. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> 6 years later his application was refused. >> Yes, please. >> He absconded but was arrested in an enforcement raid at a pizza restaurant in April 2009. >> Do you understand why you're being detained? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. Just to make it brief, you have a removal set back to Kosovo for the 14th of May, which is next Thursday. >> That's your flight itinerary for you there. >> Yeah. >> This is also for you. Just a case history of of your time you arrived to the time of your detention. >> Quite a long time. >> Yeah. >> He's settled in Britain and feels the country owes him a debt >> because I've been working here with my papers for almost more than 10 years. Yeah. >> Right. >> And I've been paying tax for this country. I want all my taxes back here. Right. because I I'm going to be able to move from England. I want all my taxes back. I was working in my name. >> I didn't work in yellow names all the time in my name and I got a house in England as well. I got flat here. >> Right. Well, I'll suggest >> that's why and I got my fiance here. >> I didn't get any anything from from government any income. So, >> I I appreciate what you're saying, Mr. Jui. However, it isn't going to change that you will be removed at this point. So, all I can say is is you should speak to your legal representative and he'll be able to advise you on that. When the guy was talking about tax, we've had a few of those questions before. It's something that we don't try we don't get involved in. We'll tell them to take legal advice on it, but technically speaking, they've been here illegally, so they can't get can't get their their tax back date in any way. >> The two Kosovan prisoners will join 24 other Kosovans and Albanians on the flight chartered by UK border agency. This is a a regular thing that the UK border agency do. Uh these charter flights have been planned and they happen on on a fortnightly or on a monthly basis to remove uh specifically remove Costan and Albanian nationals back to uh that part of Europe. >> It's one of 70 flights a year used for removing illegal immigrants. >> In 2008, over 1,500 were sent home this way. Many of those in Colbrook were picked up by enforcement teams like this one. Officer Shane Healey is planning a raid on a Chinese takeaway. We're going to the intelligence suggests that possible immigration offenders are working from this address and previous visits to this kind of establishment have led to the arrests of failed asylum seekers and immigration offenders. So, we'll go straight away. In 2008, enforcement teams carried out 13,000 raids, resulting in over 10,000 arrests. The target today is a takeaway serving the locals of the well-healed area of West Hamstead. >> We're here. >> Let's go. >> Immigration Service, you want to come inside for us? >> It's immigration service. Can you all want to come around this area for me? Put down what you're doing. >> Has that been clear downstairs? >> Yeah. From the immigration service. Okay. We're just here doing checks on people today. Actually, have a seat. Yeah, you're right. >> We're immigration officers. >> There are nine employees. >> Officers check their immigration status. >> You got passport? >> What What type of passport have you got? >> You carry it about with you? Uh, >> that's probably fine. Lady's produced her passport to me. Um, it's a valid passport. It's got a valid uh student visa in here. So, she's got uh leave to remain in UK. >> Where's your passport? >> Yeah, he's fine. Yeah, he's he's told me who he is. He's told me his story and stuff. Checked on our computer database, verified it from a copy of his passport. It's all fine. He's um British citizen. >> The workers prove they are allowed to work in Britain except for one. He applied for asylum but was turned down. >> Those you have got as well. >> All right. Okay. >> He sought an application to remain here on the base of his nationality and uh >> problems back home. Uh that application has been looked at and been it's been refused. >> He was asked as a result of him being illegally in this country to sign on at our office which he's failed to do since 2004. Well, listen. You're under arrest. You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when question something which you later rely on in court. >> The man is a failed asylum seeker hiding from the immigration authorities. Officers will now take the man to his home address to find his passport so they can remove him from the country. Without it, they will have to ask for emergency travel documents from the Chinese government and they could face difficulties convincing them he's from their country. >> The gentleman that then is arrested got his address. So we are going to go there and and search for a document. Without a document, the likelihood of removing him is is is very unlikely. So we are going to go and search for a passport. Now >> Heathro Terminal 3. It carries over 30,000 passengers every day. That's over 10 million a year. Today at passport control is immigration officer Sheetal Patel. >> Hi there. traveling alone. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> She's about to check a woman who's just arrived from South Africa. >> I'm just going to ask you a few questions about your stay here. Yeah. >> How long you going to be here? >> 3 months. >> 3 months. So immediately today, where will you be going? >> Um my wife picking me up for so I will be staying with you or I will be staying with my friends are from South Africa. >> Okay. So your friend that's picking you up, is he just just a friend? Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. Okay, Miss Thomas, I have got some inquiries to make. Okay, so I just need to make just need to take this take a seat for me. You'll be here with us until I finish conducting those inquiries. Okay, Matt, got a referral for you. Okay, we've got a South African female. She just coming in. She says she wants to come in for three months, but she's just finished a two-year working holiday, and she's only been away from the country for a month. She says she'll be going to Scotland, Ireland, visit other um South African friends that she has here. >> So in two years here, she just didn't get round to seeing Scotland and Wales. >> And Ireland and Wales. Yeah. >> Doesn't hang together. The idea of a working holiday is that you have a holiday and you do a bit of incidental work. >> Exactly. >> And that in two years, you should, you know, pretty much be able to see what you need to see. >> So then to come back for another holiday on top of that makes me think that there's something here that's more important than going back there. A 2-year working holiday visa allows one year of work and one year of holiday. Right, >> just come with me this way. >> The South African woman has already had one of these visas and now she's back just one month later. >> Yeah. >> Officer Patel wants to find out if the friend waiting to pick up the passenger is just a friend. But it seems being stopped by immigration is all too much for her. I know you're upset, but it's just, you know, I just have to go. >> I feel alone now, and I just want to walk. >> Do you want to give her a call? Do you want me to give >> No, she's at work now. I just I just want to go home. I I don't even want to be anymore. >> Just grab your bags. Although the passenger appears to have given up the fight, Officer Patel investigates further to assess her status. First, she calls the passenger's friend waiting in arrivals. >> Hi, Tom. My name is Sheal. I'm an immigration officer at Heathrow Airport. Hi there. Are you meeting anyone today? Okay, just to let you know, she has she's currently being held with immigration. We do have some further inquiries that we need to conduct. Is it all right if I have a quick chat with you? And how is it that you know her? >> You just know three friends. Are you just friends or are you in a relationship? You're in a relationship. Thank you. Okay then. Thank you. Bye-bye. So, it turns out that the gentleman downstairs, Tom, is the passenger's boyfriend. And when I asked the passenger if it's a boyfriend or a friend, she stated that he is just a friend. to have a boyfriend in the UK creates a stronger tie than just to have friends in the UK. So, it gives her that extra thing to want to come back for. So, um not sure why she would have said on the desk that it's it's not a boyfriend, but that's what we need to find out. >> The passenger has lied about who was picking her up. >> With a boyfriend here, officer Patel suspects a short visit might turn into something more permanent. >> As soon as the the deception starts, that's when our alarm bells start ringing. And you know, it's just that have you got more to hide? Because there more to this than than you're letting on. Previous paylip from when she was here on her working holiday. >> Officer Patel and her boss Matt Dyson look for other clues to find out why she wants to come to the UK. They discover a pay slip. >> £500 fortnightly. That's not bad. >> Not sure she's worked full-time for that whole year. >> Okay. >> So, that's not good. >> So, we just need to find out if she worked full-time for the other year as well. >> She Where is it? M >> her working holiday visa would have allowed her to work 12 months of her 2-year stay. >> In this case, what we've got so far is there's a pay slip there which appears to indicate unless she was earning an enormous amount for a little bit of work that she probably worked the whole of uh the last tax year, the one that we've just come out completed. Um now that means she's done all her work basically in that period. Now, do we really believe that in the first year she was here? She did nothing at all. Well, that's unlikely because let's be honest, if you're working holiday maker on a two-year working holiday, you're not going to sit around and not work for a whole year and then just do it at the end because you know your financial constraints are the same at the beginning as they are at the end pretty much. >> Good morning. My name is Sheet. I'm an immigration officer at Heathrow Airport. >> Officer Patel calls the restaurant where the passenger has been working. >> So, she started 25th of June 2007 and departed 26th of Feb. Did you say 2009? Okay. >> The manager says the woman worked over 20 months at the restaurant, eight more than her visa allowed. >> It just goes to show that she had a disregard for the restrictions that was put on her. She when you do get your working holiday, you are told it's one year's holiday, one year's work, and she's abused that come through. >> Once you've used something once, you know, you can't be trusted that you're not going to do it again. That's the thing. I've just made a phone call and they tell me that you were employed from the 25th of June 2007 to the 26th of Feb 2009. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So that's 20 months. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Do you understand what that means? >> No. >> Right. When you were given your working holiday visa, you were told how long you can work for. >> And how long were you told? >> A year. >> Okay. So we've now found out that in actual in fact you worked for over that time which means that you breached the restrictions given to you on your working holiday. So after speaking to Tom yeah he's told me that like I asked you at the desk are you in a relationship or is he just your friend and you told me he's your friend but when I asked him he says he's in a relationship with you. So who's right? Who's wrong? I mean, you want to call it a relationship thing. That's >> what you want to call it. >> What do you call it? >> A thing. >> Okay. So, you guys >> So, you guys have been together um as friends and now you're coming back to see him. >> Not necessarily him. And he knows that. >> Okay. After speaking to him, he says that you guys are in a relationship. Why would he say that? Cuz he says he's actually discussed plans with you and stuff. I don't know. I don't know. >> The passenger is trying to make light of her relationship. For the chief, it doesn't wash. >> You can have a certain amount of sympathy when someone's dreams are not going to go or come to fruition this week. >> But, you know, she has to lie. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> and you know, she's done it once. How we don't know she's going to do it again. >> Exactly. No, she can go home. First of all, we'll fight, please. >> Come on then. I'll tell you what's happening. Right. You have been we've made the decision and you've been refused entry today. >> Just let me stay one week and then just let me after one week I swear on my mother's life I will go. >> Your removal flight is this evening. Okay. Your removal flight is tonight at 8:30. At this moment you you you are inadmissible to the UK. Therefore, we can't let you go anywhere. So unfortunately you have to stay with us in detention until until your flight. As far as taking you anywhere and put you anywhere else, I can't do that. I'm afraid it doesn't stop you from coming back. You can still come back. You just >> I don't want I will I would never want to come back. >> That's fine. That's for you. >> The passenger was put on a flight to South Africa later that evening. >> Coming up, the passenger who doesn't want to go home. >> All right, guys. But this woman that's coming out, she's pretty volatile. I want it. We may have to offer some uh some more formal help to get her on the aircraft. >> The hunt for the passport with the London enforcement team. >> We want your passport. You have passport. It's >> one part of the job I hate. >> And the student who obeys the rules twice a week. >> And you've worked 20 hours a week for Asda and you've worked 20 hours a week for William Hill. So how many hours in total did you work? >> Roughly 40 hours. [Music] just to see if there's anybody cover. >> The London enforcement team raided a Chinese takeaway and arrested a failed asylum seeker found working there. The team want his passport so they can remove him from the country. They've driven him back to his house to pick it up. [Music] So where there's children on the premises, >> it appears there is a family living there. >> Is that wife? >> The man failed to tell the officers he was married with children. >> Excuse me. >> All right. That's your wife. Yeah. >> Upstairs, officers are met with another surprise. >> Guys, anyone speak English? a tiny room with six beds and four men about to eat dinner. And >> with some nationalities, you find an awful lot of people to one room. Um, we done a visit about years back now, but we found 47 Chinese in one one three-bedroom house. >> Reason why we're here. Okay. We want your passport. You have passport? >> Uh, it's ID. Yes. >> ID. Where? Where? >> Oh, baby. Oh, you got baby as well? Okay. One in the oven. The man's wife is pregnant with a second child. >> Very nice. >> Sorry. Sorry. >> No, no, no. Don't you do that if you're pregnant. >> You shouldn't be picking up boxes if you're pregnant. >> All right. >> Come on. Sit down. >> No, just sit down. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Well, sit down. Anyone in the house speak English? >> Anyone in the house? >> You speak You speak a little bit of English, don't you? Do you understand? You understand? You've been here a long time. You do understand a little bit. Listen. Listen to listen. Right. Listen to the officer. Okay. >> You've been here since You've been here. You've been here 10 years. >> You have to You understand a little bit of English. Okay. >> Hello. Yeah. Hi. >> Home office checks reveal his wife is also a failed asylum seeker. >> She keeps to her bail conditions by reporting regularly, but her husband has not reported in years. >> They both been asked to sign at the same office. Uh she was only once a month and she's signing on. She's heavily pregnant, still makes it he's able and uh doesn't. He >> has not told us about his wife and kids. You know, these are all relevant to uh us making a fair decision. You know, when was he going to tell us? When he was getting on a plane. Absolutely ridiculous. Makes a mockery of the whole system. >> The husband and wife claim they don't have passports. The enforcement team have heard this before. >> It's one part of the job I hate is searching. >> I enjoy it. >> Do you? >> Yeah. >> Back upstairs, it's a tight squeeze as officers check home office records on the four men. We got uh four Chinese gentlemen uh in this bedroom. Uh they've produced us with um their ARC cards, which is asylum registration cards. Um we're going to check on our system, see what uh state their applications are in, and uh go from there. >> The discovery of asylum registration cards should mean the home office will have details on file. >> Hello, Vicki. Uh we're in a house full of Chinese. Could you do some uh checks, please? Yeah. >> The three men claimed asylum on entry into Britain. >> They were given temporary release and by the time their asylum claims were refused, they had all absconded. The fourth man entered Britain on the back of a lorry. >> Could you explain to him? >> Um, he's now under arrest as someone liable to be detained. >> They are arrested to be questioned further and have their fingerprints taken. The team cannot find the passports to help remove the family from the country. It could take months to sort out emergency travel documents. >> Right. We're going to release you. Okay. That's not because you're being a good person. It's because it's only because you got a wife, a pregnant wife and child here. >> Right. But it's important that you come in and sign on with your wife. >> He's got to, you know, act responsibly now for his family and start signing on with his wife every month. The man and his wife are currently reporting as instructed. >> That's why I'm I'm I'm on a guard, man. >> The four men arrested upstairs were later released on condition they appear every two weeks at a reporting center. They reported once before absconding again. [Music] At a location near Gatwick, a private security firm is gearing up for a big operation. While most of Britain sleeps, team leader Alan Mai briefs his 68 custody officers on Operation Arvar. >> Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, welcome to Operation Arvar 355. We'll be taking uh returning 26 detainees to either Albania or Kosovo. Uh we have uh three coaches going to two to Kong Brook and one to uh Brook House and then we have a van going up to Yleswood. Colbrook Immigration Removal Center officers wake the detainees for an early morning flight. >> Morning Mr. Hassa. Hello. >> You know what's happening today? I'm down. >> Quick search. >> I was waiting for cuz I waited for >> Mr. L. Morning. You know what's happening, don't you? Of >> course I do. >> Excellent. >> I can't wait. Excellent. >> I want to go home now. >> The Kosan man arrested in a street fight has shaved his head for the occasion. >> The coaches arrive carrying the custody officers. Our job primarily is to take them from the custody of the immigration removal center. >> They'll then be taken into our custody. Then they're they're bought out of the uh out of the center and onto the coaches for for transportation. >> It's fair to say that the vast majority of these guys are they've had fair warning that they will be removed from the from the country. They've made their arrangements. Majority of them are happy to go. Occasionally we we may get somebody that's not quite so cooperative, but you know, we try our best. >> They will pick up illegal immigrants from two other removal centers and will rendevous at the airport at 8:00 a.m. >> Most of the detainees have been caught working illegally, but some have served time in prison for violent offenses. you know, there's a there's a good rapport between the staff and those in our custody and um we like to keep it that way. We like to make sure that we build up a relationship, bit of sense of humor and talk about football, uh find something in common. >> Today, UK border agency have chartered an entire plane to deport them. >> Okay, they're coming on. [Music] This is where the staff come into their own really and they start to ease tensions and deescalate any problems they may see arising. Uh it you know nobody's going to be removed forcibly um unless uh you know they resist the removal. >> Just as the last few take their seats, there is a problem with a woman who doesn't want to board. The flight can't leave without her. >> She's pretty volatile. Uh, let the girls deal with it. I want you guys to to We want a cordon around the van. Yeah. Let the girls deal with it, please. All right, guys. >> We've got a a female detainee that's reluctant to get on the aircraft. Um, the girls are talking to her now. We're trying to persuade her that um, you know, the best option really is to go along with us. Um unfortunately uh it may be that um we may have to offer some uh some more formal help to get her on the aircraft. Slowly does it. Slowly does it. >> You all right? Take the or >> it's a delicate situation for the team already on board. They don't want to unnerve any of the other passengers. >> She's afraid of flying. She's scared of being on an airplane. The medic will give us some tablets to calm her down. >> That's all it is. She's an elderly lady and she's scared. >> The illegal immigrants are escorted back home by 56 custody officers. Four Kosovans will go to Pristina and the rest to Tana in Albania. When the officers return, they will need to start preparing for the next chartered flight to a different destination in a few days time. [Music] Passport control Heathrow Terminal 3. A passenger is taken to have his bag searched. Officer Hassler wants to know why he has come to the UK. >> Just been handed this case. It's a return student on a Pakistani uh passport. And the issue we've got is that he he's he's known to us for having a uh UK residence permit refused. didn't come back. I'm afraid >> the residence permit was an international graduate scheme work permit, also known as an IGS. >> It was refused because his education certificates were from a UK college listed as bogus. >> What he's then done, he's then reapplied for a new student uh residence permit. So the question is we've got somebody who was studian who in fact wants to work here was refused a work permit but has now then gone and reapplied as a student visa which is strange to say the least. >> The man has just 4 days left on his original student visa. If he's allowed in, he can immediately apply for a new IGS work permit. The application process will give him up to 3 months extra time in the UK, much longer than the 4 days left on his current visa. even if the application is refused. >> Okay, we're just going to take you to another area now. Okay. Where I need to do your fingerprints >> and also need to take a picture of you as well. Yeah. >> So, what I'm going to explain to you, right, you've been held up at the moment. There's insufficient reliable information for me to decide whether to grant you entry. Okay. And at the moment, you've given unsatisfactory answers to the questions given by the original officer on the control. Okay. >> Okay. What other documentation have you got here that I can have a look at whilst we're here? Most foreign travelers on visas bring with them a few supporting documents. This man has brought hundreds. >> So you refused? >> That was the work permit basically. >> IGS. Yeah, >> IGS it is. >> So I mean this is an awful lot of documentation. Uh but you do tend to find certain nationalities will carry their documentation with them. Like I say, this is a a great deal. Um, so it just makes my job a little bit harder to sift through it all and uh find what's relevant and what's not. I tell you what, he's more organized than I am. >> Among the documents are wage slips from William Hill, Ladbrooks, and Asda. A foreign student in Britain can work a maximum of 20 hours a week. >> On the control, he did tell the officer that he was working at Asda. Um so we need to clarify um how long he's been working for Asta because clearly if he's worked in one place and then working two places then the accumulative hours would be in excess of those those 20. He also finds letters from several colleges in Britain all claiming he is studying with them. Officer Hassler wants to know how he can be in all these places at once. So, we're going to go in interview and we're just going to ask him about his student, his time as a student, and see what he says because we've got colleges overlapping massive, you know, we've got three or four colleges at what any one time that he's supposed to be studying at. So, we'll go in there and we'll have a chat and see what he comes up with and we'll see if we can discuss his his course content. >> Okay. What I'd like you to do, just come in here, please, and sit down there. All right. Are you fitting well to be interviewed? >> I'll I'll try my best. >> No, no, I don't want you trying your best. I want you to tell me are you fit and well to be interviewed because I'm going to ask you some questions and what I don't want you five or 10 minutes saying oh I can't answer that because I'm not well. Are you fit and well to be interviewed? >> I mean there got any option? >> Of course you've got an option. I'm asking you a question. Are you fit and well to be interviewed? If you don't feel you're well enough to be interviewed, you tell me and I'll refer you back to the doctor. >> I think I'm fine. >> You think you're fine? The interviewers got off to an uncomfortable start and the real questions haven't even begun. >> And my findings. >> After the break, officer Hassler turns up the heap. >> All I want to confess is I have done nothing wrong in your country. >> Okay. Right. Let me be the judge if you do nothing wrong. Okay. [Music] A man has arrived from Pakistan with just 4 days left on his student visa. Officer Hassler has questions about the certificates he submitted for a work permit and the hundreds of documents found in his hand luggage. He has at least two jobs and is studying at a number of colleges. Why have you come to the UK? >> Today? >> Yeah, correct. >> To study. >> Okay. And where? >> LSMS, >> which is >> London School of Management Sciences. How long have you studied there? >> Almost >> five years. >> So since you've your arrival then you've effectively been studying all your time at Lun School of Math Science. >> Can you tell me why I have a letter from Empire College dated November 2004 saying that you were a full-time student doing a bachelor of science and physics? >> So why would they be issuing you a letter if you've never studied there? >> No, basically I didn't inform them that I left the college. Why would you ask for this letter if you had no intention to be studying there? >> And please start telling me the truth because at the moment you're not. And I can tell you're not. >> No, that's what I'm telling you, sir. >> That's what it's what you're telling me. >> I was I was still enrolled and then college, but I wasn't. >> How can you possibly be enrolled in a college that you've never attended? >> It's basically, sir, it's a misunderstanding because it wasn't my fault. All I want to say, I don't want to waste your time. >> Listen, I'm getting paid to do this. You're not wasting my time. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. All I want to say sir, I'm studying at whatever I have told you under I'm under pressure or I'm under I'm >> listen you're not under pressure because I give you ample opportunity at the beginning of this interview and you chose to say that you were fitting well and I did say what I don't want you to do is start saying oh well you know I'm a bit confused because your English is fine it is more than acceptable for me to understand you and I know that you can understand me >> all I want to confess is I have done nothing wrong in your country. >> Okay. Right. Let me be the judge if you do nothing wrong. Okay. What did you apply for in um June of last year? >> I >> And what happened to that? >> It was refused. >> What letters did you submit? What letters and certificates did you submit? >> I did give them the uh the result sheets. The post-graduate diploma in business administration >> from where? >> From Westminster College of Computing. >> Did you study at Westminster College of Computing? >> No sir. >> Then how did you get all these certificates? >> You are best to just answer the truth. Okay? Because I know what the truth is and it's better that you corroborate it. So just answer me the question. How did you get these documents? >> A person helped me to make these documents. >> So they are false documents. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Were you working? >> Yes, I was. >> Where were you working? >> What hours you worked there? I worked 20 hours there. >> And what about William Hill? >> I did work in William Hill as well. >> So we started end of December 2006, beginning of 2007 with Asda. Okay. And you started William Hill the same time. Okay. And you've worked 20 hours a week for Asda. Yeah. And you've worked 20 hours a week for William Hill. Yeah. So, how many hours in total did you work? >> Roughly 40 hours. >> And you still work for Asda and William Hill? Yes. >> So, all I want to say is I'm not breaking any law or anything or not harming >> Listen, just a sec. Just a sec. >> You say you're not breaking a law, right? But what do you think immigration law is? It's not one rule for one person, one rule for another. You are breaking the law. As a student, okay, you're not allowed to work more than 20 hours a week. You're working 40 hours a week. As a student, you're not supposed to pay for fraudulent documents to submit to the UK Home Office to then try and get a work permit to live in the UK. So, you tell me where you've not broken the law. Sir, I didn't mean to break the law. It was just my fault. It was my mistake. Sir, >> dies. Okay. >> Do you need anything to eat? Food. You okay? All right. >> From the very beginning, I mean, you could tell that he was struggling to sort of keep up with what was going on with regard to what his history was or what his purported history was. Um and and we've established that he's gone and purchased these documents that he then submit to the home office attempting to get a work permit. Um so I mean as far as I'm concerned it's a it's a clear refusal. Okay Mr. Baja right I need to explain to you that you're going to be refused entry into the United Kingdom. Okay. If I go just back and straight away if I apply again, if I apply again straight away, I'm asking for advice. >> If you're asking my honest opinion, if you went back to uh Pakistan and then you said to next week you apply for a student visa, I would say it's very highly unlikely that you would be issued with a student visa. >> My personal >> after a month or so, >> okay, you >> the man has worked double the hours permitted for a student and he's submitted false documents to try and get a visa. yet he still hopes he can come back soon. >> This is a massive problem we have now with students. Um it's it's what takes up the day is returning students who are ultimately bogus students. They get the residence permit or they get the entry claims from their country of origin. They come to the UK um don't ever study, get fraudulent documents to show that they have been or claim to have been studying and then it just perpetuates itself. if they get their residence permits, they get their extensions. Um, and it's all built on a lie. [Music]
