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

[Apple]

The Zimbabwean government know she fled because of Mugabes regieme, because it was so public, Gamu's family in Zimbabwe had been threatened and stuff so. Also, her mum claimed the benefits, not her, and abou the comment wondering where they came from, her mother worked, so... Gamu's lawyer also stated that it was the governments fault (They said they could claim them) and also, if she put in an application for benefits and it was granted, isn't that the governments problem? :S

The government wouldn't of given her the money under normal circumstances so this shows that she will of lied in her application.

I don't think she should be treated differently. Lots of people come into this country illegally, commit benefit fraud etc. and must face the consequences of their actions. I don't think that anyone would have given a crap about her being deported before she made an appearance on the X Factor and that's just stupid in my opinion, hundreds of people get deported every month so why should just another illegal immigrant get treated any differently?

With her creating a fan-base and having many people who feel sorry for her, it was inevitable that people would end up wanting her to stay. That is what makes her different from all of the other illegal immigrants, people actually care about her. As proven by even David Cameron wanting her to stay. If she had never been on the x factor and was just another random illegal, would David of said that?

No, and that's what I find unfair. Other immigrants are found to be alone, with no support and no one really there for them, supporting them. I understand why people would want her to stay, but if David Cameron wants her to stay, they might as well make a reform for immigration as a whole instead of favouring one person.

At the end of the day, it isn't even up to David Cameron. Its up to the UKBA.

[Shar]

That may be true, but when it comes to such legislations on immigration, David Cameron does have a huge say on it.

Yeah shes like any other person, famous or not.

That's the thing, once an individual becomes "famous" they get treated differently, whether we like it or not and despite its unfairness.

Yeah I know, this thread is pointless in my opinion. Its like saying Should citizens living illegally in the uk be deported? the obvious answer is yes because they are breaking the law.

Yes however, people hold different opinions on this matter, we may think that citizens who are living illegally in the UK should be deported, however we do not know their living conditions and why they fled to the UK in the first place. Thus, this is a controversial issue, which is why this thread is not pointless.
