The Effect of Deportation on Children and Family
CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Deportation is the forced departure of a foreigner from Russia to another state. Such a
tool is used when a foreign guest loses his legal right to reside in the Russian
Federation. Migrants are forced to leave the country voluntarily or forcibly under escort.
Mandatory deportation of legal immigrants convicted of even minor crimes leads to family
separations affecting an estimated 1.6 million children and adults, including American
citizens and permanent residents,
The population of undocumented migrants living in European countries has
significantly increased over the past decades. Presently there are more than 3 million
undocumented immigrants residing in the European Union (EU) member states, and most of
these individuals have lived in the EU member countries for more than 15 years. As a result
of this, the EU countries have resorted to applying measures of internal control by limiting
undocumented migrants’ access to privileges and services reserved for EU citizens in order to
force them to return to their home countries voluntarily. However, a significant number of
these immigrants are refuges of war and poverty from third world countries. Some of them
migrated to EU with their children whilst others bore children whilst in the host countries.
The immigration bill, which is supposed to facilitate the expulsion of illegal
immigrants from the country, was created with good intentions, but it will not significantly
reduce the level of immigration, said MP from the Conservative Party Dominic Raab. The
politician believes that the bill prepared by the government must be amended, according to
which the UK will have the right to expel from the country those immigrant criminals whose
prison term exceeds one year. Dominik Raab, in an interview on the BBC-4 radio station,

described his proposal as very practical.
At the moment, many immigrants who have broken the law are challenging the decision to
deport from the UK, relying on the eighth article of the European Convention on Human
Rights. According to this article, an immigrant who breaks the law can stay in the country if
he has relatives here. 89% of successful appeals against the deportation decision use this right
to “family life”. Raab believes that even if an immigrant has relatives in the UK, he can be
expelled from the country if his sentence exceeds one year. The only reason an illegal
immigrant can be left in the UK should be a threat to life or health in his home country.
However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already trying to simplify the procedure for the
deportation of illegal and illegal immigrants. Thus, the number of grounds for appealing
against a deportation decision will be reduced from 17 to 4. In addition, foreign criminals can
be expelled from the UK even before the outcome of their appeal, provided that their life or
health is not seriously threatened at home.
Background
For decades tens of thousands of English children from poor families have been sent
halfway around the world to live "a better life" but many of them have been victims of
slavery and rape.
Most of the countries - members of the European Union and other major democracies,
when making the final decision on deportation, take into account family circumstances and
other ties with the country of residence. However, in the United States, immigration judges
have their hands tied: they cannot do anything for protecting the family or recognizing those
notable services that non-citizens have in front of society or the country.

latest plans to reform UK Immigration Rules include tightening laws on illegal
migrants and offenders in an effort to “protect our borders” and curb abuse of the asylum
system by those who are not allowed to stay in the UK.
In accordance with the current Immigration rules, the UK Home Office can expel a
migrant from the country if the migrant does not have a valid permit to stay in the UK. On the
other hand, deportation orders are generally used to expel individuals (offenders) whose
actions are considered contrary to the public good, and these orders allow such persons to be
held in custody pending actual deportation. Moreover, deportation orders prohibit offenders
from returning to the UK while the orders remain in effect and will revoke any permission to
stay in the country prior to or during the deportation order.
Currently, rejected asylum seekers (who have exhausted all their rights of appeal and
are therefore subject to expulsion) can submit new evidence to the UK Home Office as part
of a “follow-up”. This procedure practically gives asylum seekers an opportunity to put
forward new arguments about why they should be allowed to stay in the UK and prevents
their immediate deportation. In addition, an increasing number of prisoners who are nearing
the end of their prison sentences have been found to make late or perceived asylum
applications (often citing health reasons, or claiming to be victims of modern slavery) in an
attempt to delay or prevent your deportation from the UK. Immigration experts also point out
It is believed that the ambitious plans of the UK Home Secretary are aimed at the
“prompt removal” of rejected asylum applicants by avoiding last-minute appeals and “further
submissions”, as asylum seekers will be required to submit all their arguments and evidence
upon request. submitting your asylum applications. With regard to foreign offenders, Priti
Patel is planning to “urgently expel” criminals sentenced to 12 months or more in prison,
although she admits that this is not an easy task. In addition, an automatic prison sentence is
also offered for deported offenders who return to the UK.

While the UK cannot (in view of the European Convention on Human Rights) expel
offenders or rejected asylum seekers to states where they may be subjected to torture,
inhuman treatment or other violence, these proposals may also remain “unenforceable” for
legal and logistical hurdles that are not easy to overcome, ”said David Wood, former Director
General of the Immigration Enforcement Service at the UK Home Office.
Research Problems
The impact of deportation on families of illegal immigrants residing in continents
such as North America and Asia have been extensively studied. However, considering the
magnitude of the repatriation incidences in Europe, there is an astonishingly limited amount
of legal research publications available that explores the problem from the family’s
standpoint. When an undocumented alien is repatriated, the deportation impacts both the
deportee and also the family that is left behind in various ways. Therefore, this study analyse
the implication of deportation on the children and families of undocumented foreigners living
in the UK.
The UN has repeatedly drawn the attention of the American authorities to the
consequences for children of the so-called "zero tolerance" policy, which provides for the
automatic imprisonment of migrants - including asylum seekers. At the same time, their
children are taken away from them and placed in detention centres. Experts note that even
children under one year old who are breastfed by mothers, and children with disabilities who
need special care are separated from their parents.
A large number of foreign citizens enter the territory of our country in accordance
with the migration legislation, but often, for one reason or another, they lose their grounds for
staying in Russia, as a result of which they become illegal migrants.
