Description: The strength of immigration restrictions resides in the fact that they are a total system. They are not simply about exclusion and deportation. They are also about internal controls – which include not only the physical policing of migrants, immigrants and refugees but also their economic policing through making entitlement to an ever increasing array of welfare provisions dependent upon immigration status. Though the Home Office is responsible for controls, it is only the hub of a huge wheel the spokes of which stretch out through the country and internationally. A vast array of workers who thought they were being employed to undertake socially useful work now find they have been conscripted into being agents of immigration control. Amongst those finding themselves in this invidious situation are those responsible in some degree or another for the provision of benefits, housing, medical treatment, education and social services
