Norway can't deport violent foreigners....

The West seems unable to face up to problems in immigration....

New, stricter rules adopted in 2004 were supposed to make it easier for police to quickly deport foreigners charged with violent crimes. They're not working.

Newspaper Aftenposten reported over the weekend that Norway's 25 police districts identified 797 persons between 2005 and 2007 who were candidates for quick deportation. The offenders had committed violent crimes, including murder, but by the end of last year, only 21 had actually been sent out of the country.

The unruly foreigners avoided deportation either because investigations into their crimes were suspended or because their cases were delayed in the courts.
