Right, but they sat by as abuses at Yarl's Wood were committed and where possible did things such as deporting aslym seekers before their hearing dates.
Fair, I was more focussing on legal immigration which is what I thought @Eejit was referring to when he said Blair did 'horrible immigration shit'. I'm less on top of New Labour's approach on illegal immigration but I wouldn't be surprised if it was harsher than necessary. I'd still prefer to be an asylum seeker under Blair's govt than any Tory govt we've had since, but that's not enough, I agree.

This was prior to 2008. My knowledge of this only started from 2006, so Idk how prevalent it was before then.
