TORIES want to stop migrants using the Human Rights act to fight deportation.
They have tabled an amendment to Labour’s borders bill to stop “spurious” claims.

It would mean those seeking appeal to deportation decisions would not be able to make human rights claims in British courts.
It comes after a series of bonkers cases including an Albanian criminal allowed to stay in Britain partly because his son will not eat foreign chicken nuggets.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said: “Our ability to manage immigration is hindered by extremely distorted interpretations of international laws.
“It’s critical to shift immigration powers from the courts to parliament and elected ministers, enabling more effective control over our borders.”
It comes after it was revealed the number of foreign criminals in the UK is three times as high as it was eight years ago.
More than 18,000 foreign national offenders, who have served a prison sentence, were living in the UK at the end of September last year.
The Home Office figures sparked fury and fresh demands for Labour to further ramp up deportations.
