A rare commodity - an MP with integrity:
Thanks for contacting me to express your concern about this Bill.
I
am 100% against this outrageous law. It is, in effect, an enabling act, which
will give the government the power to govern by diktat.
I fought against the Bill on the floor of the House of Commons and in committee
- despite the efforts of the Government to railroad it through.
Please click on this link to see what I said in Parliament about it:

I also mention my opposition to it in my latest newsletter:
http://www.douglascarswell.com/files/pdf_pdf_10.pdf
Can you also help me to wake people up to what is happening?
I would appreciate it if you could forward this on to anyone you know that
shares the concerns that you and I have about this.
Warm regards,
Douglas

Douglas Carswell, Member of Parliament for Harwich and Clacton, has tabled some
searching questions in Parliament on asylum and immigration.
He has demanded to know from the Home Office:
How many family visitor appeals have been received in each of the past five years.
How many case files have been lost by the Immigration and Nationality Department in each of the past five years .
Whether an asylum seeker who had made a voluntary departure and who later
returned to Britain would have the right to make a further claim for asylum and,
if so, what measures are in place to prevent such an
occurrence.
Douglas says "our immigration system is a scandal and it is time that someone
stood up and demanded answers from the political elite."
"Some politicians only talk about asylum and immigration at election time. As
an MP elected on a platform to campaign against uncontrolled immigration, I am
determined to hold the government to account for what is being allowed to
happen".
"The political establishment don't want us to even talk about immigration - but
I am determined to keep on campaigning".
According to independent watchdog Migration Watch
(http://www.migrationwatchuk.org/)
The UK's population is projected to rise by 7.2 million from 2004 to 2031 - 6.0
million (83%) of this rise is due to immigration. That's equivalent to two
cities the size of Cambridge every year, or 6 cities the size of Birmingham over
the 27 year period, needing to be built because of immigration.
59,000 new homes will be required in England each year for the next 17 years for immigrants.
In 2004 12.0 million non-EU nationals arrived in the UK. How many left? No one knows - we have no embarkation controls.
In Inner London 57% of all births are to foreign-born mothers.
