Capita gets contract to find 150,000 illegal immigrants

I wonder if these means they will be asking our filipina wives to show their visas? Adhoc spot checks....

Why not Lastlid?

I know it is a job that needs to be done. I would just hope that Capita do their searches and go about their business, without harassing the law abiding Filipinas on spouse visas or ILR or even those with British Citizenship. If you see what I mean. Just a thought.

Wouldn't like to see them get heavy handed with the wrong people. Am trying to think how it might work in practice.

They will probably do it the simple way that the UKBA couldn't be arsed to do cross checking benefit records, NHS records, airline tickets, banks, money transfers etc etc

How would that work in practice? They spot a foreign looking individual then proceed to check their credentials? That would first have to initiate some kind of interview / questioning....maybe they would start from photographic I.D. to seek those out that had blatantly overstayed?
