"UK immigration policies are to get an overhaul to deal with false asylum seekers and terror suspects, the BBC reports.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, Britain's Home Secretary Charles Clarke outlined a five year program on asylum seekers and said he would look at all of the ways that people could get into the country. Particular attention would be paid to what sorts of dependants are allowed to come to the UK with people on work permits.
The minister also indicated that illegal entrants should be deterred."
