Any 'ordinary' person who came to this country on forged documents would have been deported years ago. The only people who have profited from this are the lawyers who have doubtless been fleecing the tax payers.
Well done Theresa May, and whosoever the quote is attributable to ('cuse grammar) it is very true (by and large and in general).

aka, I don't know. I could guess (have guessed), but I don't know, so my guess could be wrong.

I couldn't understand how he was able to claim benefits when many disabled people were being told they were fit for work. Will his family be following him or do we have to support them still?

This is what Fraser Nelson says in his Spectator blog:

"The Home Office has released pictures and video footage of Abu Qatada being escorted to his Jordan-bound aircraft where he is to stand trial. This is a pretty serious accomplishment for Theresa May: several, lesser Home Secretaries have placed Qatada in the catapult but he has always wriggled free. Booting him out ought to be easy: he is an al-Qaeda preacher and  a Jordanian national who came to the UK illegally in 1993 on a forged United Arab Emirates passport. But May has succeeded where here predecessors failed. As a great lady once said: if you want something said, ask a man . If you want something done, ask a woman."
