-- LONDON -- Those who show they are committed to the country, for example by doing voluntary service, could have their probation reduced to as little as a year.Yeah, yeah Dawg... I know... we're all racists.
But those committing minor offences would face delays of five years or more, while any sent to jail would be immediately considered for deportation.
“Migration only works if it brings benefits and these measures will ensure that only those migrants that make a positive impact on their local community will be able to stay in the UK,” said Border and Immigration Minister Phil Woolas.
