As you'll probably have heard by now, there is a campaign running in Watford to prevent the deportation of twins Zoe and Moses and their mother back to Zimbabwe. The twins attend the Watford Grammar schools and have lived in the UK since they were primary school age. If they are sent back to Zimbabwe- well, you've seen the news stories. They are also at risk from their father who has a history of abusive behaviour. If these kids are deported, their chance of a decent future will be ruined. They and their mother are well established here and are valuable members of society- the children do a lot of community work and their mother has trained to be a nurse. Why send them back and destroy their lives? If you agree, please sign this petition:

If you want to find out more before you sign, I believe you can read about it in the good ol' Watford Observer, or have a look at Zomo.org.uk. I realise that there are many people in awful circumstances and we can't save everyone, but we can help these three people.
Thats an interesting and worthwhile post - thank you.
It begs the question why does the immigration service target the law abiding self sufficient easy-to-find folks and fail to chase the black economy illegals?
Any ideas?

I totally agree. If immigrants are law abiding, conscientious people who are genuinely trying to escape danger, like this family, the authorities know who they are and where they are, so it's easy to target them. They're only concerned with keeping up appearances even if it's at the expense of people who are trying to escape real danger.
