After America, now preparations are underway for deportation from the UK as well. The UK's Labour government has launched a massive campaign against illegal immigrants. This campaign focuses especially on small businesses like Indian restaurants, nail bars, grocery stores, and car washes.
Recently 828 places were raided. In this, 609 people were arrested. Most of the arrested people are Punjabis, who went to the UK on study or tourist visas. They were living illegally in the UK when their visas expired.
Seven people were arrested in a raid at an Indian restaurant in Humberside, northern England, of which four were taken into custody. Since the Labour government came to power, about 19,000 foreign criminals and illegal immigrants have been expelled from the country.
Among them, most are Punjabis. As a result of this strict action, heavy fines are also being imposed on employers who employ illegal immigrants. The owner may have to pay a fine of up to 60,000 pounds (Rs 60 lakh) for keeping an illegal employee.
Kirpal Singh, a resident of the UK, says that this move coincides with the tough migration policy of US President Donald Trump, who has recently taken massive action against illegal immigrants.
This campaign has increased concern among the Indian community in Britain. Especially among small business owners, who fear that if any illegal immigrant is found on their staff, they may face heavy fines.
The Indian expatriate community is one of the largest groups in the UK.
The Indian expatriate community in the UK is one of the largest groups, which has strong cultural and economic ties with both countries. Many illegal Indian immigrants in Britain originally came through legal means such as student or work visas but later came into irregular status due to various administrative obstacles, economic difficulties, or lack of proper legal guidance.
The government says that they are forced to live in very poor conditions. Some human rights organizations have said that the government should give them a chance to legalize illegal immigrants instead of expelling them, but the government is in a mood to continue its strictness. Home Office enforcement chief Eddie Montgomery said that those who violate our system will not be spared.
There are currently more than seven lakh Punjabis in the UK.
There are more than seven lakh Punjabis in the UK at present and the majority are from the Sikh community. The UK has greatly relaxed the study visa since 2008, taking advantage of which a large number of youth went to the UK on a study visa. According to the latest official figures, one million students in Britain have English as their second language, while among students whose first language is not English, Punjabi is the most widely spoken language.
According to recent reports, a significant portion of the Indian students going to Britain for studies are from Punjab. It is estimated that about 40 percent of Indian student visa holders in Britain are of Punjabi origin, which shows that there is a large number of Punjabi students pursuing higher education in Britain.
The UK is preparing for strict action.
UK's renowned personality Paramjit Singh Bansal says that in the year ending December 2024, more than 108130 people claimed asylum in Britain, which is the highest number since 1979. In 2024, 32 percent of asylum claims came from people coming by small boats. In the year 2024, 36816 people reached the UK by small boats. The UK is now preparing to take strict action against such people. After America, preparations are now underway for deportation from the UK in Punjab.
