The UK Border Agency and police targeted and stopped a known international sham marriage. In Eastern Europe, investigators believe that their women were coming to the UK and offering themselves as brides for would - migrants, for a very large price. Sotuh Yorkshire Police and UK Border Agency's Specialist Immigration Crime Team, also known as UKBASICT, teamed up and executed operation codenamed Razorback. Brides would go to a place, get married, then come back and file paperwork for their spouse to come and join them in the UK. A sham marriage typically occurs when a non-European national marries someone from the European Economic Area, including the UK, as means of attempting to gain long-term residency and the right to work and claim benefits. Detective Sergeant Alisdair Duncan stated: "Today we have arrested several suspects who we believe are part of an organised crime group and who have played a pivotal role in attempting to breach immigration law and in assisting others to do so." Those arrested were a twenty-five year old Pakistani man and woman, a nineteen year old Slovak male and seven Szech and Slovak women aged between twenty-one and thirty-six.
The problem here is illegal immigrants trying to cheat the system. Regardless of the reason, as a society, we have to obey the rules and keep order. Without it, our world will fall to pieces. it made be better living conditions in the UK from where they were coming from or they could of been doing this strictly for profit but it doesn't make it the right thing to do. This is known as immigration abuse and if everyone stared to do it, our countries will be overrun with people from everywhere and we not have a history or idea what kind of people we are housing in our great countries.
