Thurrock MEP Tim Aker has spoken out to demand the twenty-six illegal immigrants discovered by the Police and Border Agency last week should be immediately deported.

Tim Aker MEP said: “We have been a soft touch for far too long. Enough is enough. Illegal migrants must be deported immediately.

“People in Thurrock have had enough of illegal immigration just as they have with open door EU immigration.

“I also hope that the illegal migrants discovered at Tilbury Dock some months back have been deported, though sadly I doubt this and will be doing more work to find out exactly where they have been placed.”
