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. On tonight's show, searching the valleys of Wales for immigration offenders. >> We got a warrant to enter the premises. Do come out, please? The family business where everyone seems to be illegal. >> He's a husband. >> They're husband and wife. Are they >> How did she enter the UK? Gang master. >> And freak weather brings a passenger who creates a storm. >> I want you to be on your best behavior. Jesus. Okay. [Music] It's 1100 p.m. in Swansea and the Wales enforcement team are preparing a surprise raid on a Chinese takeaway. >> Immigration officers Hiri and Williams will lead the questioning of any suspected illegal immigrants found working here. >> Hello Officers immediately find three Chinese nationals in the kitchen. >> One child upstairs asleep. Yeah. >> Okay, we're going to go. >> It is reported that the UK is the number one destination in Europe for asylum seekers from China. >> Child is in here. Just a child or >> child and uh one lady. >> Hello. Immigration. >> Do you speak English? >> No. Do you have passport? >> A fourth person is found in a bedroom. >> What does she need? >> Officer Williams takes over. >> Tell her not to worry. Does she want to sit down for a minute? >> You sit down. >> I need something for this lady. Some identification, some papers or her passport or something? >> She doesn't have anything. Okay. Is this your baby? >> Yeah, my baby. >> Okay. Is she okay there sleeping? Okay. If we go downstairs, we'll talk away from the baby. Okay. So, if you ask the lady, she'll come down with us downstairs. >> Four people and a baby have been found at the takeaway. Home office records show this woman is a failed asylum seeker from China who came to Britain in 2004. She disappeared when her application to stay was refused. Now she's pregnant, has a child, and runs a business that is suspected of employing other illegal immigrants. >> One of the men found in the kitchen admits he entered the UK illegally >> since he came in in 2000. Has he made any applications to the home office? >> No, he's scared. Did he provide any documents to the lady to say that he had permission to work in this country? >> He's her husband. >> They're husband and wife, are they? >> Yeah. >> Um I believe it's husband and wife. >> These two. Can you establish? >> Since he's married to the owner and they have a child together, this case becomes a little more complicated. >> There is the matter now that he's got a child in the UK as well. Um, but that, you know, doesn't take away the fact that he has come into the country illegally. The UK border agency tried to avoid splitting up families, so it's unlikely that he'll be arrested tonight. >> Questioning now moves on to another man. He's told officer that he's 18 and works in the kitchen. >> How long has he worked here? One >> month. Don't get paid. doesn't get paid. [Music] >> This is her cousin. >> Cousin? >> Yeah. >> How did he actually come into the country? I didn't know. Somebody uh basically brought him in. He came in with somebody. >> He was brought in by somebody. >> Yeah. >> Does he want to go back to China? No, >> he says that uh he was brought in by uh an agent. Um probably somebody is paid several thousand uh to bring him in. Um he says he flew into the country um into the airport, traveled with the uh agent and walked through immigration control. Can you explain to the gentleman then um I'm now going to arrest him on suspicion of illegal entry. Okay. If you can just explain that to him and go upstairs now. Yeah. >> Officers search for proof of identity and find a copy of a national insurance card. Is that his bag there? >> Okay. So, some of the stuff here is um belongs to private person. >> The documents are not his. The team often find ID from other people as many work for short periods before moving on. Once they're detected, they either get removed or placed in detention. And then what you'll find is this place will then be reoccupied by somebody else doing exactly the same thing. >> So far, a failed asylum seeker from China has been found employing her partner and cousin. >> But there's still the matter of the woman found upstairs. >> Tell her not to worry. Tell her don't worry. >> The officers will have to find out who she is and why she's here. Coming up, an exotic seizure for the customs team. >> So, you got grasshoppers, >> fun and games, >> and delays at Heathrow as a case proves too difficult to decide. >> What do you think? >> And that's to be quite honest, I don't know. [Music] Britain's heaviest snowfall in 18 years has brought most of the country to a standstill. >> Many of the country's airports bore the brunt of the disruption. >> Both runways were closed at Heathro, but BAA has now managed to open the southern runway with limited flights. Heathro has one runway open and a passenger destined for Dublin has been forced to land here. He's a man from Antigga who had planned to come to London anyway, but his luck has just run out. He was stopped by immigration after his name was flagged up on the home office database. >> Well, his flight's been uh moved because of the snow. >> So to here, he's like diverted, I'm afraid. So he's he's kind of blundered into us, I'm afraid. Problem with him is um his previous overstay serve with the form 151A as an illegal in 2007. He's coming here to visit his girlfriend. He's quite chipper. He seems, you know, fairly happy at the moment. >> Handling this case is immigration officer Allison Charles. >> Mr. Michael. Yes. >> Hi. Hi. Um, >> how are you doing? >> I'm fine. >> And you are? >> My name is M. Charles. >> Hi, Michelle. >> Mr. Charles. >> Mrs. Charles. Hi, Mrs. Charles. I'm Stuart. >> Now, Miss Charles, uh, gentlemen, I'm taking my back. Is that fine? >> They do now. >> Okay. Now, Miss Charles, I got a question for you. Okay. >> If the man has overstayed before, Officer Charles has to decide if he's likely to do so again. >> Okay. And the next thing you knew, she was off with my passport and saying that she was detaining me. >> He's a character. All right. >> I have never overstayed. >> Okay. >> Never got into any problem. >> So you got to understand when I'm I'm I'm having a laugh and having >> a joke, but you you're really serious to find out why been stopped. >> Yeah. Yeah. Relevant. Officer Charles has to try and work out who is right, the home office computer or the Antiggan. >> She starts with a phone call to his girlfriend. >> When was the last time he was in the UK? Yeah. Was that April 2007? Can you remember when he arrived? So that's well over 6 months, isn't it? I didn't buy. >> In July 2006, he arrived in the UK. He requested for an extension after 6 months. This was refused. Now, he should have left, but he didn't. He left in when did he leave? April 2007. So, he was here a lot longer than 6 months. >> Although he denies it, records show he stayed 2 months longer than he was allowed. Officer Charles wants to find out what happened the last time he was here. >> I gave his address. >> Now I'm going to need to ask you in the last time he was in the UK. Okay. And what happened? >> I came over here on a ticket >> for 6 months. >> For 6 months. >> Cuz I have paid £400 to the home office to extend my time. >> Okay. So you >> I filled out the form just with the questions like how they asked it. I didn't do anything wrong. They sent my passport back after they took the money and they said give them a reason as to why they must give me >> 6 months >> and they refused. >> And they refused. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> After you were refused, what did you do? I caught a flight and went home. >> Thank you. And when you go back in the holding room, I want you to be on your best behavior. >> I going home. >> I'm not sure what you're doing. phone. Okay. Okay. >> Although he broke the rules on his last trip, Officer Charles believes he won't do it again. >> I do believe that he will go back if he didn't overstay. That would be the only thing at the moment that's against him. But I'm going to have to refer the case to the chief immigration officer and see what he's got to say. >> Mr. Dyson, >> he wants two months. two months >> until the end of March to visit his girlfriend >> and I'm happy to land him actually. >> Okay. >> He's got issues to overcome which are fact that he was previously an overstayer. He previously had an intention to stay longer than he'd said on arrival. >> Yeah. >> And now he's here again on arrival on a visit. >> Mhm. >> So he has to show us that unlike last time, he's going to stay again. >> The chief isn't content with the Antigan's form as an overstayer. And there's something else he wants to know. The Antiga's planned route into London was via Dublin. Was this a ruse to avoid scrutiny from the immigration team? The Antiggan will have to face more questions before a decision is made. At a Chinese takeaway in Wales, the enforcement team has discovered a failed asylum seeker from China employing her partner and her cousin. None are entitled to work in Britain. Officer Williams now wants to unravel the mystery of the woman found upstairs. >> Does she work here in the UK then in the restaurant? >> Look after a child. >> She looks after the children. So she child minds. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Who is her boss? >> Okay. >> How much do you get paid for looking after the child? >> 100 a week. >> How did she enter the UK? >> Sorry. We'll we'll check on that now. Okay. told to come with gang master, >> a gang gang master. >> She said she paid a lot of money to the gang master to help him her come here. >> Okay. How much did she pay? >> Um 300,000 yen. >> 300,000 yen. >> Yeah. Okay. >> She says she was smuggled into Britain by Chinese gang masters. It cost her £25,000. >> A gang master is somebody who's um really trafficked people in here to the UK. She could be the victim of abuse. She could be exploited, you know. So, >> we need to find that out. >> Can you ask her is there any reason if why she can't go home to China? So she borrowed the money from people. >> Okay. >> And um now if she wouldn't go back at this moment, she wouldn't have any money to pay of the debt. >> Okay. >> Then she >> So she's in debt. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Okay. >> As the team decides what to do, the child minder's health takes a turn for the worse. >> She has a hard problem. >> Yeah. have problem. >> Okay, >> tell her don't worry. She's not in any trouble. >> She's worried because she hasn't seen anybody like us before. So, she's certainly very worried about what's going to happen next. >> If she'd like to come upstairs, we she can get her medicine. >> Yeah. >> This is the her medication she's given to me. >> What? >> Yeah, this is a medicine for her. >> But at the moment, I can't allow her to take anything. Okay. The child minder is in breach of immigration law, >> but concerns for her health come before any arrest. >> This lady's potentially ill and she says she hasn't been seen by a GP and we don't want to take her in the car and she may have a heart attack or something. You know, we don't want to uh put her at risk at all, >> but we have to maintain the UK laws as well. Based on what she told me downstairs that she came into the UK with no passport, >> then that means that she entered the UK illegally. So, I'm I'm now going to arrest her on suspicion of illegal entry into the UK. >> Okay. >> Tell her she doesn't have to say anything, but it may harm her defense. If she does not mention when questioned, something she later relies on in court, anything she does say may be given in evidence. Okay. No, sit down. You sit down a moment. >> She said that she going to get her clothes. >> Okay. Now, if she's >> tell her to sit down and we're not going anywhere for a moment. My colleague and I will have a look in the room to see if we can find any identification documents for her. Okay. >> She's moved around a bit. There's some documents for London and for Bristol here. your children. >> Yeah. Her daughter, her >> two children there. >> A decision is taken to arrest the child minder. Her employers are not detained because the woman is pregnant and families with young children cannot be taken into police custody. >> Okay. >> Does she need a glass of water or something? No, >> no. Okay. >> The child minder is taken to a local police station for further questioning. >> Your head >> along with the cousin of the owner who was found working in the kitchen. >> Watch your head. >> Although she's escaped to rest tonight, the owner could still face a fine of up to £40,000. £10,000 for every illegal worker. She is now in the process of reapplying to stay in Britain with her partner and their child. A decision is yet to be made on their case. [Music] In a later interview, the kitchen worker admitted to being 17. He was brought into the country by a female agent with fake documents. He's been bailed and is now reporting to the police regularly while steps are taken to remove him back to China. At the police station, the child minder complained of a heart problem. She was bailed for a week. She didn't return. Her employers said she had gone to London to claim asylum. No claim has yet been made. Passengers that arrive at Heithro have their details checked by two border agency units, immigration and customs. >> 5 to 9 mil >> passengers from countries outside the EU have an extra check from a specialist customs team. >> Anything in here you shouldn't have. >> This is cooked beef. Can you see this? That doesn't look too That looks like a mold on there. That doesn't look too good to me, you know, and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't eat it. >> These officers search for any products that have come from an animal. >> Yeah, this is mess. >> 7 and 12 kilos of horse meat from Kazakhstan. We do get horse meat from time to time, but it's not an everyday occurrence. They are in fact just small cubes. >> And the two >> and the one >> the products of animal origin team sees over 30 tons of food products banned from being brought into Britain every year. >> When you say you you live in Tanzania, where's your bag? >> The officers can give repeat offenders a hefty fine and even imprisonment. The most common animal products confiscated are cheese and meat. >> This here, what sort of meat is it? >> The reason we were established is because of the foot and mouth disease to stop anything like that happening in the future. So sometimes when food comes in, we we're not sure whether the uh the standard is the same standard required uh to import stuff. So it's safer not to bring it in. Since they were established in 2003, the customs team has seen it all. >> One of the other teams had um a monkey, >> dried monkey. >> A dried monkey being brought in. >> Yeah. >> And we do get things like rats on sticks as well. We've had those. >> This was found one of our um Chinese flights. Uh this is um bear's genitalia that has been found. And apparently it does have the um aphrodesiac properties. Under it being a meat product as such, it's not allowed. So uh that has been taken. This is a um chameleon. >> It absolutely wreaks. Caterpillars. >> And we have bird spit. You know, bird's nest, which is bird spit. Uh that's not allowed. >> You never know what you're going to come across >> in a bag. You'll always find something different probably every day. >> As the green channel fills with new arrivals, Officer Harris spots a passenger with some suspicious pink bags. When she catches up with him, the passenger from Uganda confirms he's carrying a local delicacy, grasshoppers. >> So, you got grasshoppers? >> Anything else? >> You say your grasshoppers are cooked? Yeah. >> This they they're afraid. You already fried. >> Oh, here we go. >> Here we go. Look. All over the place. Fun and games. Right. I need to put all those little grasshoppers back. >> Yeah. >> In there or whatever. >> They're quite a delicacy, I believe. Is that right, sir? Yeah, they are. >> They are a delicacy. Yeah, the grasshoppers have got to go because uh they're not allowed. Not much grasshoppers. 380 g. Not a lot, but you only need a very small amount to bring in disease. >> It's his first offense. >> There you go. Cheers. >> So, the man from Uganda is given a warning. Not all passengers are so easily separated from their animal products. >> Officer Trobridge has stopped a passenger from Turkey. >> I am a very clean person. >> You know, I'm not coming from the village. I'm coming from Istanbul and I have university graduated. >> What's in here? Got >> blood in it. >> Yeah. >> What is it? >> It's It's ground beef. >> Unfortunately, just the meat and the cheese you can't bring in. Okay. And this is just basically mints. That's probably the worst of the worst raw meat that is totally forbidden. >> It's your first name Asia. >> Okay. Christ about >> you know I have a star. and only one son and he came to >> to Brighton >> 6 7 months ago it was it was December >> and after December first time I'm going to see him now he's in Sussex >> okay >> and he must from me you know homemade food from Turkey >> right >> and I am a mother you don't >> right wait show show your son this as well he will know the rules okay you study here you should know the rules >> the woman from Turkey leaves without her mints It's her first offense, so she's given a warning. >> If the woman is stopped again and found to have broken the rules, she could be fined. >> Serious repeat offenders face a jail sentence. >> Coming up, the passenger from America who just won't give up. >> It's kind of the last visit to London. >> So, this is it, Tella. Okay, no more. >> The manager who knows the game is up. There isn't he he had a work permit to work is expired >> and the man from Antigga loses his cool graciously. >> I've done everything and be nice about this, but this is like like being too much now. I'm sorry. I I can't help for this. [Music] Still held at immigration control is the man from Antigga. Chief Dyson isn't impressed with his record as an overstayer and wants to know more about his route into London via Dublin. >> Okay. What's going to happen is I I have referred your case. >> I see this. I come here on vacation and I'm being, you know, victimized. >> Anything you want to use, any word you want to use. >> Well, that's what I'm saying. I mean, I'm Tegan still denies he overstayed last time despite home office evidence saying otherwise. >> I come here very often. I leave on time. I never overstayed. >> No, I never. >> Stop now. You have overstayed. >> No, I haven't. Not when I paid. >> One second. One. No. No. No. You have. >> You're the one that has to my >> Hold on. The thing about it is you have overstayed. I haven't. >> Yes, you have. >> Where? >> When you came in 2006, you overstayed. >> How? I didn't do nothing wrong. All I did was paid my money just like y'all asked me to do and asked it to stay for an extension time and that was legally. I didn't try to overstay. Sorry, ma'am. I've done everything and being nice to you about this, but this is like like being too much now. I'm sorry. I I can't help for this. >> Right. I just need to know you to tell me about your routine that's got everybody baffled. Why would you fly to Dublin? >> What's the point of doing all of that? >> Oh my god. >> How is that cheaper than going from >> It came up cheap. It came up. >> That's just cheap. >> Do you understand that you wouldn't have seen an immigration officer at Gatwick if you had gone in that in that method? >> No. >> What do you mean? No. >> I don't know about that. >> I'm sorry. >> He's not in the UK. No, >> he seems genuine enough not knowing about the routine and passing through immigration and that. If he's lying, he's a good liar. >> The man has convinced Officer Charles that his route to London via Dublin was merely a cheap ticket and nothing else. >> He's quite adamant. >> The case is now creating some doubt between Officer Charles and her boss. >> Right. But that's not the issue for me. I'm afraid I think I'd like him refused. >> Are you? What do you think? >> And and that's to be quite honest. I don't know. >> And normally I'm for what what Matt is saying and I can understand where he's coming from. >> Can I rest the end, please? >> But it just doesn't sit well with me at the moment. It doesn't I mean, he's given me the reasons why and I can understand his reasons why. It doesn't mean I have to be happy about it, but I can't be sort of like 100% sure that I'm making the right decision. >> Chief Dyson wants to see the man for himself. He will tell the Antiggan that he's being refused entry. >> At least that's his plan. >> To be honest, it's not looking that good. >> I need to be straight with you. >> Yes, >> you're going to be refused entry. Okay. Now, what I'm here to do is explain how you can come back in the future without having these issues and these problems. Because obviously, if you've got a girlfriend here and you want to visit her, you don't want this happening, do you? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. >> So, I'm not going to see my girlfriend today. >> Well, let me finish. >> Um, what am I doing wrong? >> Or what can I do to make it better? That I don't I don't like this sort of a >> Okay. How would you gauge your relationship? Would you say your relationship is the type that that is leading to something a little more serious? >> Yes, it is leading to something. Right. I mean are we talking you know the N word here perhaps at some point. >> So if it is the stage where you think it's time that you are moving in on the step there is a there's a >> a fianc's entry clearance >> which allows you to come here get married apply to remain. >> I'm going to give you this couple of days temporary admission. Okay. I'm quite comfortable with that. >> Okay. Thank you. To be honest with you it's okay. I know I haven't done anything wrong so I'm not panicking. >> Mr. Michael I think I think I have no issue with you as a person. And to give you credit, having spoken to you, you know, I have again looked at the decision in my head. I can't change it, but I am aware of a few more factors. Okay? >> And I hope to see you again. Okay? >> You know, much as he's a lovely man, >> um I still think his circumstances outweigh his um >> his charm because he's he's definitely a charming man. >> And I am prepared to give him temporary admission. Can you call her in? >> The chief has given him 2 days temporary admission to see his girlfriend after which he must return home. >> No, thank you. >> At least for giving me at least a couple of days. It's better than sitting in there. No, >> that's I thank you very much. Thank you. [Music] Two days later, he came back armed with more paperwork, stating business reasons to keep to his original return date. >> Right now, we're just short of that right now. >> A lot of the things he'd supplied did go quite some way to um filling in the gaps that we had. So on balance um of probabilities I decided that now I was willing to overturn my own decision and allow him entry. >> He was landed 400 quid from >> anyone visiting the UK with a record as an overstayer faces an uphill battle proving their credibility. >> Taking it in. >> But this man's perseverance paid off and he was granted entry to the UK for his full holiday. It's >> good luck. Okay. >> All righty. Deep in the Welsh valleys, illegal immigrants live in small rural communities where many believe it is more difficult to be found. Officer Folston is part of the enforcement team that searches the valleys for immigration offenders. If immigration um sort of have a blitz on these these particular city centers then that tends to push people into if you like more rural areas and they I think they tend to believe sometimes if they're out of sight then they're out of mind but if we get in then um they will come to our attention at some point. >> Today the team will visit an Indian takeaway where they've been given a tip off about one of its workers. the local police station. So >> he's a Pakistan male. So the last trace we've got has expired in September 07. Okay. So subject suspected of being an overstayer. >> The man they are looking for is from Pakistan. He was given a permit to work for 1 year over 2 years ago. They believe he's still here and still working. Please >> we got a warrant to enter the premises. Can you come out? Stop what you're doing and just move to the front. >> That's all clear. >> Officer Foolston begins to question one of the men found in the kitchen. >> Do you have any identification on you? >> Thank you. >> The man produces a driving license and is fingerprinted. It's the man from Pakistan they came here to find. We've had intelligence to suggest an individual um with the same details as this gentleman was working and residing at this premises and this individual is the target that we were looking for this evening. >> Now, Officer Fston needs to find out if he's working here. >> Could you ask him please how long has he been working at this um restaurant? >> So, he's saying he's not working here then? No. >> Okay. >> Anybody see him working when we came in? >> He denies working. >> Okay. >> Perhaps the owner can help. >> Just get a few details. The other gentleman, he's working for you also? >> Yeah, he's um he's on a work boat, man. >> You have a copy of that somewhere? >> He he must have somewhere. >> Where does he live? >> He live upstairs. >> Okay. Do you know his name? >> Yeah. >> Go on, share it with me. Tell me the secret. Rashad Ali >> secret is >> yes tell me >> there is there isn't he he had a work permit to work >> yes I'm listening >> but there's a butt coming >> yeah is is expired >> when did it expire his work permit >> last year I think >> so why is he still here Mr. Really? >> He's just working and you know. >> Does he have a passport? >> Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. >> Does he have a passport also? >> Yeah, he got a passport. >> It's upstairs. Is it? Yeah. >> I don't know. >> The boss realizes there's no point in lying and admits his worker is illegal. >> But he could face a fine of up to £10,000. >> Hello there. Could you just um inform this gentleman that on the basis of the information available to me at the moment, I believe him to be an overayer in the United Kingdom and therefore he is under arrest on suspicion of being an overayer. Okay. >> Just to explain this person. >> Did he understand that? Happy going. >> The next step is to find his passport. >> Passport definitely not here. >> Now that he's been arrested on suspicion of being an overstayer, that gives us the power to search for his accommodation as well. And basically what we're looking for is passports. >> If they find it, removing him from the country will be a lot easier. And just when the search looks hopeless, the helpful boss makes another confession. He >> might be in my file in my house. >> Where's your house? >> In Pontip about 20 minutes drive from here. >> So you might have a copy of his passport there. >> Should have. Yeah. >> We might need you to produce that for us. Then >> two officers go to collect the passport which is 20 miles away at the boss's house. That's him. Okay. Thanks very much. Bye-bye now. Bye-bye. >> That's the That's the gentleman that we uh arrested at the house. >> He's overstayed his visa. Um needs to go home now. So now we've got the valid passport. We can uh book flight for him to to go back to Pakistan. >> The illegal worker is detained before being removed back to Pakistan at the end of the week. The Wales enforcement team got their man on this occasion. >> It's just one of the 150 takeaways they visit each year in the Welsh valleys. At terminal 3, a woman from California has been stopped at passport control. She used to live in Britain as a student, but since then has been refused entry on two previous occasions. Her most recent refusal was a month ago when she arrived for a job but had no work permit. >> Clearly, she's been refused entry to the UK twice. Most people don't ever get refused entry to a country. So, for that to have happened to her in the space of 5 months is quite a significant dent on her immigration history. Immigration officer Lisa Lee starts with a search of her documents. >> It appears she has letters from her hotels where she worked previously. CV here, couple of copies, four copies on quite thick cards. So, it's not just copies that have been done just to carry. It appears that these would be given out. There's a postcard here. This appears to be a friend. And it actually says the idea of leaving home now when so much is happening in the US of A must seem very hard. Um so are we talking the recent presidential inauguration or are we talking in her personal life that will need to establish but um appears to be everything that you would not expect anyone to bring on holiday with them. It casts into doubt somebody's intentions when they travel with CVS and everything else. Is it because there is some other intention in her coming back to the UK? That's only something we can find out after we speak to her. >> You like to follow me? >> Okay. So, what's the purpose of your visit to the UK today? >> To visit friends and finish packing up what I couldn't pack up in December. >> Why have you brought CVs with you on holiday? Those were just in there. Okay. You were granted temporary admission um when you were refused entry last time. How many days was that for? >> I think it was 2 days or 3 days. >> And was 3 days not sufficient time to conclude your affairs here >> to pack up my flat? No. >> And the friend has mentioned that there's a lot going on in the USA at the moment. What does what does she mean by that? My mom was in the hospital and the day before she came home, my stepfather moved out. >> Could you not have deferred the trip? I could have, but she wanted me to go and see my friends in London in the country and pack up, tie up everything here. Although she was refused entry last time, she did get three days to pick up leftover belongings from her time here as a student. But now she's back with the same reason as before. >> It's perfectly plausible that she needs to come back and and and end her affairs here. However, that's why she was granted temporary admission last time. But we have to base it on probability here. And is she likely to become an immigration offender? She's been refused entry twice before, but could it be third time lucky for the woman from California? >> This is frustrating. [Music] Stuck at immigration is an American woman who's here to collect items she left on a previous visit. But she was given the chance to pack up her things a month ago and now she's back using the same story as last time. Officer Lee is worried that she's here for other reasons. >> What are the chances that she'll overstay? what are the chances that she'll seek employment whilst she's here? So, um that's something I need to discuss with the chief now and see what we can uh what we can come up with. >> I can't say I'm that sympathetic. I mean, this is the third time that she's tried to basically come here, isn't it? And we can't see that she's made much of an effort to do anything either by mail or or by telephone or on the internet to sort it out and she just she's turned up now. >> I don't know if you're aware she doesn't have a job in the States either. Um she hasn't applied for any permanent jobs in the States since being back from >> there. No evidence really for the last year and a half that she sees her future as being in the United States. >> Well, that's my concern. >> Let's go and talk to her >> again. You see, the difficulty I've got is that you were given time, albeit 3 days, to pack up your belongings and arrange for everything to be done last time, and now you're seeking entry again. I did for those three days I did the most I could do in three days. >> The primary purpose you say is in in seeking entry as a visitor is to conclude your affairs in London. >> That's one day and I just happen to >> Okay. So it's only going to take one day to pack up. >> I don't I'm not sure. I don't remember everything I have at my flat and it depends on my landlord when they can do the final walk through. But the main reason for me coming is to see friends that I know will never travel to the States. It's kind of the last visit to London because I know once I start working full-time, I won't travel. I think it's just made things worse really. Um, she's now saying that were she not to have any belongings here, she would still have come just to see friends as it's the last opportunity to travel before she gets a permanent job. So, I don't think anything she's told me is going to make any difference really. She says it's only going to take her one day to actually pack up the things that she has left. And the rest of the time, she would wants to come and and see friends who she knows will never travel to the US. >> Can you trust her to go out for one day? >> She can go back Saturday morning. Okay. Right. >> So that gives her one whole day and this is last chance saloon because we've done this before. So this is it. Okay. No more. >> Okay. There's some bad news and there's some good news. Um the bad news is you are being refused entry to the UK. Um we are granting you temporary admission again as we did last time because you complied before. We're prepared to give you um till Saturday morning. So, you get tomorrow to go to your flat. >> Tomorrow, I won't really have time to finish. >> Let me just explain something to you. The fact we're giving you temporary admission this time is extremely >> You're very lucky to be granted that. All right. >> The woman is given one day to collect her things, after which she must return to America. For the third time, the American woman has the word refused stamped into her passport. >> This is frustrating. cuz you do everything above the board. And I know at school there were tons of people who didn't do things above the board and they're still here.
