Letter: Spot checks at UK points of entry
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: According to Colin Brown's report (3 August) Britain is to be allowed to maintain passport checks on European Community nationals. If this means only that EC nationals, like United Kingdom nationals, will be required to satisfy immigration officers of their national status, then this is permissible. But if it means that non-British EC nationals are subject to interrogation by immigration officials from which UK nationals are exempt, this is surely in contravention of everything the EC has come to stand for.
Yours sincerely,
