Poor Eastern European women are coming to the UK and then doing something gross for money?
Who could have ever seen that coming?
I’ll tell you who: no one. At all.
Sham marriage is ‘spiralling out of control’ in Britain, with officials called in over bogus ceremonies nearly four times a day, an MPs’ report has revealed.
The Home Office Select Committee said that arrests over fake weddings have more than tripled in a single year, as the ‘precious institution’ of marriage is routinely ‘hijacked’ by foreigners intent on illegally entering Britain.
Their damning report accused the marriages – often between ‘away-day brides’ from Eastern Europe and men from outside the EU – of making a ‘mockery’ of our legal system.
And it said the Home Office is hopelessly unaware of the ‘alarming’ scale of the scandal, which represents a ‘significant threat’ to immigration control.
It is thought that as many as 10,000 out of 173,000 civil weddings each year in England and Wales are fake. A sham marriage does not just allow a non-EU national the right to stay in Britain, but also their children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents – piling extra pressure on public services.
Last year, immigration officials carried out 1,338 raids connected to sham marriages, up from 529 in 2012. The number arrested for taking part in a fake union more than tripled from 221 to 725 over the same period.
But remarkably, an ‘absurd’ legal loophole means that two people living in the UK can be married by proxy, without any ceremony actually taking place in this country. This means they can technically get married without leaving the UK, as long as they are ‘represented’ at their overseas wedding ceremony, usually by a family member.
Warning that the situation was ‘spiralling out of control,’ committee chairman Keith Vaz, a Labour MP, said: ‘There is an industry of deceit in the UK which uses sham marriages to circumvent immigration control.
‘Marriage is a precious institution and should not be hijacked to make a mockery of the law or our immigration system. We cannot afford for any town or city to become a back-door entry to our country.’
He added: ‘It is absurd that we accept marriages where the two parties do not attend the ceremony. This allows an easy ticket into the UK. This proxy marriage loophole must be closed immediately.’
Sham marriages are increasingly popular among immigrants because anyone who enters a bogus relationship successfully can use it to stay in Britain for five years and eventually obtain citizenship.
Under Brussels rules, they can then apply for permission to bring in their extended family.
Officials have found a growing number of Eastern European women are being paid to visit Britain for a few days and supposedly marry a man, then return alone to their home countries. Their fake husbands are mainly from Nigeria, Ghana, Brazil and Pakistan.
