Failed asylum seeker is spared prison
A FAILED asylum seeker, who worked seven days week in care homes has been spared an immediate prison sentence.
Southampton Crown Court heard Zimbabwean Victoria Mugodi had entered Britiain in 2004 with a student visa but remained after it expired and then obtained work under a false name.
Mugodi, 29, of Gordon Avenue, Southampton , admitted fraud and possessing an identity document with improper intention.
Judge Derwin Hope followed the recom-mendation of the probation service by passing a four-month suspended sentence with an order to carry out 150 hours unpaid work.
He told her: “Your legal status to remain here is for others to determine.”

According to many people posting on this site, all immigrants are bone idol scroungers. I wonder how their fuddled brains will cope with this one- an illegal immigrant who would seem to have made a real lasting contribution to society by taking care of vulnerable and elderly folk- doing a job that many indigenous English can`t be bothered to do because of the low wages. Let this man stay here- he's earned it

It seems a strange situation where a person who has proved that they are both capable of being able to work, and are willing to work, could face deportation, but someone who is here illegally, is preaching hate and intollerance, can stay because deporting them would breach their human rights.

Without those you are an illegal and should be deported regardless of whether youre working illegally with the old, in a cafe, in a factory, selling drugs or a criminal.
Rules is rules..........and we are all bound by them.

That is surely a good enough reason for her to be considered an asylum seeker as opposed to a financial migrant.

There is probably more to this story than the Echo is reporting. I hear you all say “7 days a week working”, I can believe this & properly doing 24/7 !. I work in the Care sector & have done for 16 years now, one of the things foreign workers do is sign on for several agencies for care work, they will work with one agency during the day & another during the night & the same weekends, I know this as several years ago I was working a wake-night shift & my co worker came in who also was doingg a wake-night, the manager of the home had seen the same worker at a different home that day working for a different agency under a different name, he was suppose to be doing a wake night after doing a 12 hour day shift !, he was instantly taking off the shift & both agencies informed. How they do it is normally they have 2 middle names & swap there Christian/Surname around & middle name to there surname, sorry to say I suspect this still goes on.

Political activists who claim unlimited immigration is good for Britain because immigrants pay taxes etc are either stupid or they are lying. This woman shouldn't be here but I am sure a tribunal will allow her to remain because the tribunals are made up of the same human rights activists who wanted this mass immigration in the first place.
