...The spouses of serving military personnel if they are in the UK illegally?

It's something that happens in the US, even when the Service person is deployed.

I'm not advocating the position, simply asking the question.

If they are their legal spouses then no we should not. I would assume they are already applying for British citizenship anyway, which most would be entitled to. We don't need to follow America's tail all the time like Blair did. Brings to mind George Michaels single about it. X

No, unless they’re is another more valid reason to deport them. But if they’re basing it solely on the basis of up above, No.

There was a big campaign headed up by Joanna Lumley which raised awareness and got the government to change the situation so, I think it's sorted for them now. Shouldn't have happened in the first place though.

I did 5 years as a weekend warrior, at no point was I 'trained to kill people'. What I was taught was to accurately shoot my weapon at enemy targets if I came under attack.

If it had come to a choice of me or them, then better believe Id have done everything I needed to to keep my arse alive.

Questions should be asked.

Our system shouldn't be silenced by the p.c. idiots.

Unfortunately the illegal spongers that have come here for what they can get have now put the burden of blame on the legitimate ones.If they have served our country then they should stay but if there here illegally then get them out.

I think Boris is right when he said we should have an amnesty for all illegals that have been here 10 years.Any soldier should be allowed to have his children and wife to become citzens.The treatment of the Gurkhas is appalling.

We shouldn’t deport anyone. Well anyone that wants to live here peacefully that is.

What we should do is stop meddling in other countries business. And stop bombing the bejesus out of people. For years the bombs and bullets ruined lives in Ireland and mainland Britain. Then both sides stopped their bollox, got round a table, talked about it, hugged it out, and the world became a better place. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better.

We should be welcoming people who want a better life for themselves and their families with open arms.

More love, less hate.

More hugs, less bombs.

That’s the new world peace slogan right there!!

"I am sure I am missing something here, but how is the spouse of a serving soldier an illegal?"

I don't know the requirements of immigration through marriage in the USA, but in the UK the passport holder needs to hold down a job with a minimum salary of I think £27,000. I would imagine 18 year old new recruits may have problems meeting that.

But allegedly some US service personnel have got married to non US people and taken them to America illegally, and they are getting kicked out.

My question stands, if the US service person broke the US law, by bringing an illegal immigrant into America, do they get kicked out of the services? Or is the criminal action 100% the spouses issue?

If they married in the UK would they be legally married, or could they even get married if the spouse was in the country illegally?

Who should we change laws for and is that fair to other immigrants who don't have an easy way in?

We would have to know US laws to answer that question. I would have thought the American person would be arrested for smuggling a person in and the spouse be arrested for illegal entry.

Does their occupation mean they can get away with people smuggling (or whatever it's called).

I doubt we are talking about people smuggling.The wives probably arrived on a tourist visa and attempt to stay and become citzens leading to deportation.If anyone is prepared to die for their country then their wife should have the right to stay.

There's hundreds of ex British service men living in the streets.Theres pregnant women living with there parents all due to a lack of housing.Theres old people going hungry and cold due to there pensions being slashed.Theres people being let down by the nhs as it's stretched to breaking point.

Yet there's also pc world idiots that live in a fairy tale land that want to let everyone in and everyone stay.Questions should be asked if people are legitimately here or not.If there legally here let them stay.If there here illegally then send them back it's that simple.

So say you have a serviceman who is currently deployed in say Estonia, or Afghan or Cyprus etc. Who has a wife who has overstayed her student visa, but is looking after their children whilst he is deployed, do you think she should be deported? Who would you like to look after the kids?

Totally agree, young lads prepared to lay down their lives should be, presumably old enough to marry who ever they fall in love with and, the government shouldn't be making it hard for them or their families to be together.

This is of course fantasy news as the origin of this thread is about America.

So no children have been abandoned on Cyprus while the mother got deported.

But the rules have to be the same for all, I have a family member married to a non UK national and he can't bring her here, nor can he work or get healthcare etc. Where he is living as an illegal immigrant, permanently renewed tourist visa, all money in her name etc.

It happens a lot, there are legal ways of sorting it, and I would hope anyone working in government employment would use those channels correctly.

You mean the ones that say they are 17 yrs old and yet dental specialists have proved they are over 25 yrs old who are then let out on bail of £100 and told to report everyday to the police station never to be seen again !

See whats happening in Europe at present whole towns being taken over and no go zones for the people born there. The girl viciously killed with a rock after being violently abused by someone who was already a convicted criminal in the USA.

Too many people are afraid to speak their minds these days for fear of upsetting some limp wristed liberal who has probably never lived in an inner city and the biggest problem in their lives is where to get the Range Rover waxed.

If they are here illegally then yes. The occupation of the spouse is irrelevant.

If you're going to make an exception for relatives of HM Armed Forces then let's add relatives of nurses, doctors and firefighters to the list because they seem to be flavour of the month. Oh f**k it, while you're at it include the whole public sector (except traffic wardens and MPs).

And let all of the above off any speeding tickets, parking fines and drink-driving offences.

What about the Foreign Office?

Anyway, what has being deployed overseas got to do with it?

They could meet their spouse in the UK whilst he/she has a valid visa, get married, visa expires and then he/she becomes an illegal immigrant.

Because if they have child care commitments, and they are posted on the other side of the world that poses significant problems.

If you're going to make an exception for relatives of HM Armed Forces then let's add relatives of nurses, doctors and firefighters to the list because they seem to be flavour of the month. Oh f**k it, while you're at it include the whole public sector (except traffic wardens and MPs).

And let all of the above off any speeding tickets, parking fines and drink-driving offences.

You just listed a long line of jobs that don't involve being deployed overseas.

What about the Foreign Office?

Anyway, what has being deployed overseas got to do with it?

They could meet their spouse in the UK whilst he/she has a valid visa, get married, visa expires and then he/she becomes an illegal immigrant.

Because if they have child care commitments, and they are posted on the other side of the world that poses significant problems. "

If they are posted in the next town it still poses a significant problem. The spouse is an illegal immigrant (unless posted to a country where he/she can live legally).

It is very unfortunate but the job comes first. The person in question has a difficult decision to make - career or family.

Point 1 if they have had time to have children then they have had time to make things legal.

Point 2 if you dishonerably discharge the spouse for criminal behaviour then they can look after the children.

Problem solved

So you think a serving soldier deployed to say Afghanistan, can, in the middle of his tour, just say to his commanding officer "sorry boss, this career isn't working out for me, I'll stay until the end of the week and then I'm off"?

Some people have got no fucking idea what so ever...

I have some idea. This should've all been sorted before being deployed to Afghanistan, Germany or even the UK.

The last thing any CO wants in their unit is someone who isn't able to focus on his or her job. They are a liability.

By all means offer assistance but if, after all options have been exhausted, the spouse is deemed an illegal immigrant, then deportation is the only course left.

sorry..as a mixed heritage army brat..

I barely believe anything these days regarding 'fought for our country'-

the fighting has been about greed,control and oil

I suppose my way of thinking is I dont believe I would ever join up/nor follow orders that go against my own morality...if I really felt that strongly about some huge issue, I'd not make it a career, I wouldnt expect my children to 'follow' in my footsteps.

As I say, my father has served throughout the world,but there are millions of people who can visit all over the world without the need to be backed by government/religious bodies.

in this day and age, I think a miss world might have more sincerity when she says she wants 'to change the world'

And what has that got to do with marrying an illegal immigrant?

Next you will be suggesting that special debt needs to be extended to being allowed to drive above the drink/drive limit because they have lots of stress.

I suppose my way of thinking is I dont believe I would ever join up/nor follow orders that go against my own morality...if I really felt that strongly about some huge issue, I'd not make it a career, I wouldnt expect my children to 'follow' in my footsteps.

As I say, my father has served throughout the world,but there are millions of people who can visit all over the world without the need to be backed by government/religious bodies.

in this day and age, I think a miss world might have more sincerity when she says she wants 'to change the world'

We have a full volunteer army, those who join do so in the knowledge that they can be sent into harms way by our democratically elected leaders.

I was perfectly happy with a Forces Rail Card. But back then we were persona non grata!"

Well if you had one of those you must have forgotten quite a lot to think people can leave the military at the drop of a hat, half way through a tour.

"If they are here illegally then yes. The occupation of the spouse is irrelevant.

If you're going to make an exception for relatives of HM Armed Forces then let's add relatives of nurses, doctors and firefighters to the list because they seem to be flavour of the month. Oh f**k it, while you're at it include the whole public sector (except traffic wardens and MPs).

And let all of the above off any speeding tickets, parking fines and drink-driving offences.

You just listed a long line of jobs that don't involve being deployed overseas.

What about the Foreign Office?

Anyway, what has being deployed overseas got to do with it?

They could meet their spouse in the UK whilst he/she has a valid visa, get married, visa expires and then he/she becomes an illegal immigrant.

Because if they have child care commitments, and they are posted on the other side of the world that poses significant problems.

If they are posted in the next town it still poses a significant problem. The spouse is an illegal immigrant (unless posted to a country where he/she can live legally).

It is very unfortunate but the job comes first. The person in question has a difficult decision to make - career or family.

So you think a serving soldier deployed to say Afghanistan, can, in the middle of his tour, just say to his commanding officer "sorry boss, this career isn't working out for me, I'll stay until the end of the week and then I'm off"?

Some people have got no fucking idea what so ever...

I have some idea. This should've all been sorted before being deployed to Afghanistan, Germany or even the UK.

The last thing any CO wants in their unit is someone who isn't able to focus on his or her job. They are a liability.

By all means offer assistance but if, after all options have been exhausted, the spouse is deemed an illegal immigrant, then deportation is the only course left.

Nice to see such support for the Armed Forces Community

What makes a member of the Armed Forces any different to someone who works at Argos who has married someone who is deemed an illegal immigrant?

Ask Javid, he knows the difference.

I asked you.

People who put their lives on the line for their country are owed a special debt by the country.

sorry..as a mixed heritage army brat..

I didn't forget that. I do remember that you needed your OC's permission to get married and you were responsible for any family problems you brought upon yourself.
