They may be criminals but theyre home grown ones!

They may be criminals but they are all criminals bred if not born in the U.K. We should take responsibility for people who have been brought up here since they were children and whose families are all here. It’s a bit like transportation to ship “undesirables” off. One young man was given a 13 month sentence 10 years ago - now has a wife and children here. Is that justice.? Why now?

One dad's solitary offence got him 2 months ten years ago. He's not done anything since, now has a wife and baby. Doesn't sound like a threat to me.

Wife with no husband, baby with no dad. Came here as a child. He knows no-one in Jamaica, and has no job to go to. Brits struggle to understand Jamaican patois.

Would you like to post evidence for those allegations? The Home secretary lied to the H of C about a flight on 6th Feb. It would seem the Home Secretary deliberately misled MPs in Parliament on 6th of February by stating that all booked on the flight were guilty of serious crimes. This is not true. One 23 year old received and had served a suspended sentence for good behaviour of 7 months for a driving offence Even if they are guilty why not wait until the Windrush report is published? Possibly because it will recommend that children brought here by their parents and growing up here should be permitted to stay? We educated them, if they are criminals they learned it here, but we send them to Jamaica because we don't want to be responsible!!

I won't be signing I agree with Boris they should be deported.

The PM has said it is right that foreign-born offenders are deported.

Boris Johnson told MPs last week: "I think the whole House will understand that the people of this country will think it right to send back foreign national offenders."

The Home Office has previously said the flight was "specifically for removing foreign criminals" and it included "people convicted of manslaughter, rape, violent crime and dealing Class A drugs". Number 10 has said all the people on the flight have sentences of 12 months or more.

50 people are being deported to Jamaica tomorrow, before the Windrush report is even published. Please sign to give them a chance to stay in the country many of them have grown up in
