Michael mrs. Charles hi mrs. Charles I'm Stewart and now Miss Charles gentlemen I'm taking my back if the man has overstayed before officer Charles has to decide if he's likely to do so again she was off with my passport and saying that she was detaining me he's the character all right I have never overstate never got into any problem so you can understand when I'm having a laugh officer Charles has to try and work out who is right the home office computer or the Antiguan 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 six months isn't it I don't buy in July 2006 he arrived in the UK you requested for an extension after six months this was refused now he should have left but he didn't he left in he leave April 2007 so he was hit a lot longer than six months although he denies it records show he stayed two months longer than he was allowed officer Charles wants to find out what happened the last time he was here ask you in vallata news in the UK okay what happened I came over here on a ticket for six months for six months because I have paid four hundred pounds to the Home Office to extended my time okay so you so 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 six months and they refused and everything after you will refuse what did you do I caught a flight and went oh thank you and when you go back in the holding room I want you to be on your best behavior I'm not sure what you're doing five minutes give me five ten minutes okay calm down 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 overstayed that would be the only thing at the moment that's against him I've gone after a further case of 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 lend him actually which are the fact that he was previously an over stay he had an intention to stay longer than he said on arrival yeah and now he's here again on arrival on a visit uh-huh so he just did show us unlike last time yeah the chief isn't content with the Antiguans form as an over stare and there's something else he wants to know the Antiguans planned route into London was via Dublin was this a ruse to avoid scrutiny from the immigration team the Antiguan 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 than in the restaurant she looks after the children so she child mines yeah yeah who is her boss how much do you get paid for looking after the child how did she enter the UK sorry gang master she paid a lot of money to the gun must kill helping her come here how much did she pay three hundred thousand yen yeah okay she says she was smuggled into Britain by Chinese gang masters it cost her twenty five thousand pounds a gang master somebody who's really trafficked people India to the UK she could be victim of in a big she could be exploited you need to find that out can you ask her is there any reason why she can't go home into China that's all wouldn't in your face man so she borrowed the money from people okay and even go better this moment she doesn't have any money to pay was it dead okay then she so she's in debt yes as the team decides what to do the child minders health takes a turn for the worse don't worry she's not in any trouble she's worried because she hasn't seen anybody like us before so he's certainly very worried about lost her half an axe if she'd like to come upstairs with she can get her medicine this is the medication she's given to me but at the moment I can't allow her to take anything okay child minder is in breach of immigration law but concerns for her health come before any arrest this lady's potentially oh 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 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 now go to a restaurant suspicion of illegal entry into the UK she doesn't have to say anything but it may harm her defense she does not mention when questioned something she later rely on in court and thinks she does say may be given in evidence closer okay no 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 gonna go neither balsa money salon she's moved around a bit there's some documents for London and for Bristow dia your children to children now a decision is taken to arrest the child minder her employers are not too tame because the woman is pregnant and families with young children cannot be taken into police custody okay she needs a glass of water the child minder is taken to a local police station for further questioning along with the cousin of the owner who was found working in the kitchen although she's escaped to rest tonight the owner could still face a fine of up to 40 thousand pounds ten thousand pounds 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 arrived at Heathrow have their details checked by two Border Agency units immigration and customs 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 meat can you see this that doesn't look cheap that looks like a mold on them that doesn't look too good to me you know inspector I wouldn't eat it these officers search for any products that have come from an animal the smells seven and a half kilos of horse made from Kazakhstan we do get horse make from science time but it's not an everyday occurrence the artifact a lot of products of animal origin team sees over 30 tons of food products banned from being brought into Britain every year where's your bag the officers can give repeat offenders a hefty fine and even imprisonment the most common animal products confiscated our cheese and meat 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 when we're not sure whether the the standard is the same standard required to import stuff so it's safe for not to bring it in since they were established in 2003 the customs team has seen it all wonder teams had a monkey Drive monkey my dried monkey been brought in and we do get things like rats on sticks as well we've had those this was found tough one of our own Chinese flights this is bears genitalia that has been found apparently it does have the aphrodisiac properties under it being a meat product as such it's not allowed server that has been taken this is a chameleon the absolute reeks caterpillars are a fibrous and we have bird spits in our bird's nests which is bird spit that's not allowed you never know what you're gonna come across yeah and a bag you'll always find something different probably every day [Music] 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've got grasshoppers anything else you say you're grasshoppers are cooked all over the place fun and games well I need to put those little grasshoppers back in there whatever they're quite a delicacy I believe is that they are a delicacy yeah the grasshoppers have got to go because they're not allowed not much grasshoppers 280 grams not a lot but you only need a very small amount to bring in disease it's his first offense so the man from Uganda is given a warning not all passengers are so easily separated from their animal products officer Trowbridge has stopped a passenger from Turkey [Music] I have University graduates it something here unfortunately just a meat and the cheese you can't bring it okay and this is just basically mince that's for the worst the worst raw meat they totally have been it's justice first name Asia you know only one thought and we came to too bright six seven months away it was it was no knees in Sussex okay from Turkey well he will know the rules okay thirty Haitian other rules the woman from Turkey leaves without her minutes 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 visit to London so this is it tell her okay no more the manager who knows the game is up there is an EEO permit is expire and the man from Antigua 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 [Music] still held at immigration control is the man from Antigua chief Dyson isn't impressed with his record as an over stare wants to know more about his route into London via Dublin okay what's gonna happen is I I have referred to a case I see the occasion the Antiguan still denies he overstayed last time despite home of his evidence saying otherwise I come here very often I leave on time I never overstayed but stop no no you have overstated one second once no no no you have to wonder know if anybody is you have over stings yes you have yeah when you came in 2006 you overstay no I didn't do nothing wrong all I did was paid my money just like y'all asked me to do and asked us to stay for an extension time and that was legally I didn't try to overstay sorry ma'am I've done everything and be nice about this but this is like like being too much now I'm sorry I can't help for this right I just mentioned you to tell me about your waiting that's got everybody baffled why would you fly to Dublin was that came up cheap it justice chief do you understand that you wouldn't seen an immigration officer at Gatwick if you had gone in that in that manner what you mean no I don't know about that I'm sorry 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 is convinced officer Charles that his route to London via Dublin was merely a cheap ticket and nothing else the case is now creating some doubt between officer Charles and her boss not easy for me I'm afraid of nothing I'd like him refused do you think I must be quite honest I don't know I normally I'm for what what Matt is saying and I can understand where he's coming from but just doesn't sit well with me at the moment it doesn't I mean he's given me the reasons why I can understand his reasons why it doesn't mean I have to be happy about it but I can't be so like 100% sure that I'm making the right decision chief Dyson wants to see the man for himself he will tell the Antiguan 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 gonna 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 you want to visit her you don't want this happening do you know I don't okay so I'm not gonna see my girlfriend today well um what am I doing wrong Oh what can I do to make it better that I don't I don't like this sort of okay how would you get your relationship would you say your relationship is the type that isn't leading to something a little more serious yes it is leading to right I mean are we talking you know the M word here yes yes yes so if it is the stage where you think it's time that you are looking you down the step there is a there's a fiance's entry clearance would you love you to come here get married I'd like to remain I'm gonna give you this couple of days temporary mission okay I'm not comfortable with that to be honest with you it's okay I know I haven't done anything wrong so I'm not panicking so Michael I think I think I have no issues 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 I hope see you again yeah you know much as he's a lovely man I still think he's circumstances outweigh his his charm because he's definitely a charming man and I am prepared to give him temporary the chief has given him two days temporary admission to see his girlfriend after which he must return home [Music] no can you at least forgive me at least a couple of days it's better than no no no no no 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 a lot of the things he'd supplied did go quite some way to filling in the gaps that we had so on balance of probabilities I decided that now I was willing to overturn my own decision and Elementary he was landed anyone visiting the UK with a record as an oversteer faces an uphill battle proving their credibility but this man's perseverance paid off and he was granted entry to the UK for his full holiday deep in the Welsh valleys illegal immigrants live in small rural communities where many believe it is more difficult to be found officer Fallston is part of the enforcement team that searches the valleys for immigration offenders if immigration sort of have a blitz on 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 doubt the site and they doubt the mind but if we get in then 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 sees a Pakistan male so the last trace we've got expired in September 7 okay so subject suspected have been an oversteer the man they are looking for is from Pakistan he was given a permit to work for one year over two years ago they believe he's still here and still work so were you do any just move to the front officer folston begins to question one of the men found in the kitchen do you have any identification on you the man produces a driving license and is fingerprinted it's the man from Pakistan they came here to find an individual with the same details as this gentleman was working and be signed in but this premises and this individual is the target that we were looking for this evening right now officer Boston needs to find out if he's working here could you ask him please how long has he been working at this restaurant so he's saying he's not working you there not anybody seeing working when we came in she denies working perhaps the owner can help us just got a few details the other gentleman he's working for you also yeah he's he's on a work Bowman you have a copy of that somewhere you must have somewhere where does he live he live upstairs could you know his ma'am yeah call sheriff with me tell me the secret I should Lily secret is yes don't tell me there is there is an ERF permit to work yes I'm listening there's a but coming yeah is is expired when did it expire has worked for Molossia so why is he still here yes charlie he's just to see if or possible yes so does he have a passport also the boss realizes there's no point in life and admits his worker is illegal but he could face a fine of up to ten thousand pounds hello there could you just inform this gentleman that on the basis of the information available to me at the moment I believe in to be an oversteer in the United Kingdom and therefore he is under arrest on suspicion of being a novice there okay did you understand that the next step is to find his passport passport definitely not you know that needs been arrested on suspicion of being a novice there that gives us a polar search for as a combination as well and basically what we're looking for is a sports 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 might be in my file in my house as possible sure Daria you 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 okay thanks very much all I know I'll buy that's the that's the gentleman that we arrested at the house he's overstayed his visa needs to go home now so now we've got the valid passport we can book flight for him 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 hundred and fifty 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 she's been refused entry to the UK twice most people don't ever get refused entry to a country so that's have happen to her in the space of five months in history immigration officer Lisa lease starts with a search of her documents it appears she has letters from hotels where she worked previously CV here as a couple of copies four copies on quite thick card 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 it 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 so are we talking the recent presidential inauguration or are we talking in her personal life that we'll need to establish but then appears to be everything that you would not expect anyone to bring up on the tape isn't it cast into doubt somebody's intentions when they travel really TVs 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 follow me 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 CDs with you on holiday those were just in there okay you were granted temporary admission when you were refused entry last time how many days was that fall I think it was two days or three days almost three days not sufficient time to conclude your affairs here to pack up my flat now 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 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 Li is worried that she's here for other reasons what are the chances that she'll overstay and one of the chances that she'll seek employment while she's here so that's something I need to discuss with the chief now and see what we can come up with I can't say I'm sympathetic I mean this is the third time that she's trying to basically come here isn't it and we can't see that she's made much of an efforts to do anything either by mail or by telephone or on the Internet sorry yeah 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 and she hasn't applied for any permanent jobs in the state since being back really for the last year and a half that she sees her future as being in the United States that's my concern it's gone talk to her again you see the difficulty I've got is that you were given time albeit three 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 can do in three days the primary purpose you say is in seeking entry to visit is to conclude your affairs in London that's one day and it just happened - okay so it's only gonna take one day to pack up I know 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 walkthrough 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 gonna make any difference really she says he's only gonna take her one day to actually pack up the thing she has left and the rest of the time she would across the common and see friends who she know she will never travel to the u.s. can you trust her to go out for one day she can go back to Saturday morning okay so that gives a one-hole 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 the bad news is you are being refused entry to the UK we are granting you temporary admission again as we did last time because you complied before we prepared to give you until Saturday morning so you get tomorrow to go to your flat tomorrow I will really have time let me just explain something to you the fact we're giving you temporary mission this time is extremely you're very lucky to be grant 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 because you do everything above the board and I know at school there were tons of people you didn't do things from the board and they're still here
