Should X Factor reject Gamu Nhengu be deported from the UK?

[Samantha]

To put my position as simply as possible...

if SHE DID actually break the law - ie; didn't renew her VISA or w/e...then yes, send her back...

if it WASN'T HER (ie; her mother claimed the benefits - not her, and she still has a VISA), then I think she should stay..but I don't know the details so yh

She tried renewing it. And failed.

So did she think that her mother had found the money or something? It's insulting her intelligence to say that she wouldn't of been wondering where her mother was getting the money from.

Agreed. No offence but something like 14-18 year old is old enough to understand about finance and money and things like that.
Also, wasn't she a single mother, and Gamu and her mother depended on each other. I feel she knew full well what was going on.

I don't blame her for not wanting to go back so good luck to her. Back home she will probably have to walk like 5 miles for a dirty bucket of water that's contaminated with aids.

if youre in the country when you shouldnt be and claiming benefits when you shouldnt be then you should be deported. the fact she was on x factor doesnt make it alright at all :s

[Gibs960]

If there is something wrong with her Visa or whatever then yes she should, just like any other person in this whole world. Just cos she's on the x factor.

You say it like the mother received £16,000 in a lump sum, when that is not the case. Her mother had been wrongly claiming tax credits over a 7 year period, that's roughly £47 a week... I highly doubt Gamu thought to herself "hmm where is my mother getting all this money from?", over £47 a week. So in response to your comment, no it wouldn't be insulting her intelligence.

Troll.

No matter what anyone says, the bottom line is that she's illegal so doesn't have the right to be in the country.

Seriously.

If it was Gamu's visa that couldn't be extended, that she should be deported. If it was her mother, she should be fine. What I got from that OP was that her mother was the main "problem", so to speak. Her mother was the one who partook in benefit fraud and couldn't receive a accepted visa, not Gamu. The only accusations against Gamu were those from X Factor, the possibility of auto-tune and such. I believe Nokutula should be deported and forced to repay the benefits.

In that case they should pay the £17,000 back.

47 * 52 = 2444
2444 * 7 = £17108
