"The UK Borders Bill features measures to curb human trafficking and illegal immigration, and deport more foreign prisoners. There will be new rules to tackle employers who employ illegal immigrants on cheap wages. All foreign nationals staying for more than six months will be obliged to hold a biometric ID card. Officers will also have powers to seize cash and property from employers who flout the rules. The pledge that the "vast bulk" of foreign prisoners will be deported regardless of the threat they might face back home is also set to become law in this Bill. Mr Byrne said that there would be an "automatic presumption of deportation" and that any freed criminals wishing to appeal would lose the right to do so before they were deported."
