Former UK immigration boss says system has been out of control since 2000

The former head of the UK Border Force (UKBF) Tony Smith says that Britain lost control of its immigration system between 2000 and 2003 under the Labour government of Tony Blair. He said 'There was a huge influx and frankly I don't think we have ever recovered from that'.

Mr Smith has worked in immigration enforcement for nearly thirty years. In 2012, he took control of the UKBF which was the agency responsible for the UK's frontline immigration activities such as passport control and customs control at airports, seaports and railway stations.

Mr Smith said that the influx of illegal immigrants between 2000 and 2003 was so great that UK immigration staff were unable to do anything about it. He told The Sun newspaper that many of those that arrived then have since changed their names and are now untraceable.
