Do you think that illegal immigrants should be allowed in the UK?

No, Great Britain is only small, we haven't got room, however the British government do seem to not mind illegal immigrants, they house them, give them money for food and generally look after them a lot better than they look after the British themselves.

No..they are strict about ILLEGAL immigrants being here and with due reason.

Also, look at it this way...if people were to invade your country and demand what belongs to you should belong to them, would you be okay with it?  If so, then open up your southern borders!  If you can't differentiate between LEGAL and ILLEGAL, then you need help in the head.\n\nbtw,\n\nIf you're against illegal immigration, please click on the link below.

I think we should use technology to assist with illegal immigration. At one point in our history we had the room and need for a huge immigrant population, but those times are behind us. We need better border control for our economy and our safety.

Well, for one thing, I feel all immigrants should be able to prove they have no contagious, uncurable diseases (and I do not mean colds, I mean deadly or disabilitating ones).  Also, they should be able to speak enough English to get a job, and have some sort of skills that would enable them to get a job, instead of having the working people support them.  Also, a criminal background check should be done, and if they have a history of violent crimes (murder, rape, etc) they should not be allowed in.  Other crimes (shoplifting,etc) would be reviewed, and for those types of crimes, things like how long ago the crime was committed, how many times they committed the crime, etc, should be considered.  (Example: arrested once for a monir crime, they can come in.  But if they are a career criminal, no, do not allow them on.)  Tht's just my opinion.

The imigration system in the uk is a farce, whatever rules there were at the start have long since gone obscure.\nThe system is in a shambles, only yesterday, government proposals for stopping marrages of convienience were quashed in the UK courts because the do gooders, think these scroungers have rights, they do NOT.\nOur Country is being bled dry by these people who tell us they are being persecuted back home, its all rubbish, they have heard about the land of plenty from their relatives and friends and so can't wait to get here.\nThe system needs ahuge overhaul and needs implimenting properly with no loop holes

Yes, the rules have to be obeyed by all. How can any reasonable person give citizenship to one group who flagrantly defied the rules to enter a country, then restrict those who have the decency to go by the book? All you are doing there is rewarding the criminal. Besides being utterly irrational it isn't too slick a way of discouraging crime of any sort and illegal entry is not a crime we want to encourage. \n\nYou'll notice I don't say illegal immigration. Those people who come here illegally are not immigrants, they are criminal trespassers

I agree that illegals who come to this country and work should be allowed to stay here.  They do a lot of jobs that people who were born here think they are "too good" to have to do.  Those same Americans who won't do the manual labor job for $5 an hour aren't "too good" to go on welfare.  \n\nWe should exile welfare recipients who could work but choose not to, and let the illegals who want to stay here and make something of themselves stay.

Britain  is a country based on immigration if you trace your family tree far enough back i think you will find your ancestors were in fact immigrants of another country but that does not change the fact that we have too many people & not enough jobs or land to support ourselves in the avent of imports of food been stopped ,most immigrants come from countrys that are not as over populated as ours  we should not let them in if we do not have everything that we need & enough to  spare

You are right about if all the immigrants were kicked out, that the british people would still sit on their lazy ar*es claiming benefits.\nThats why a lot of the unskilled polish and bulgarian workers are coming over here, to fill the jobs that brits wont do.\nDont believe anyone who says "i cant get a job" there is obviously work out there if they are having to bring in immigrants to do it.\nWhen I talk about immigrants I mean anyone who has emigrated to this country. They dont bother me as long as they are willing to work.\n\nPlus, if you are working here on a visa, you automatically pay 25% tax pon your earnings so I dont think we can say thatr immigrants are ripping the country off and giving nothing back!

I'm Canadian, and I support illegal immigration because immigration is restricted only for xenophobia, to not let the face of the U.S. or Canada change too fast.   The labour market has decided that the Mexican illegals should work in the U.S., and they should be allowed to do so unless the English language becomes threatened.  Call me a bleeding heart, but economic migration is one of the best ways to alleviate poverty in the world.\n \nWhat is "illegal" anyways.  Well, in 1776, the whole U.S. was quite illegal, so some laws shouldn't be respected, should they?

I am sure the Welsh people here in the USA are not here illegally.  Really what kind of question is that.  Most people are not saying we should close our boarders to all immigrants.  We are saying that immigrants need to use our immigration policies and procedures to come to the USA.  It is a matter of national security.  If an illegal day laborer from Mexico City can simply walk into this country so can a terrorist.

United Kingdom is not a Kingdom nor safe haven for illegal immigrant. You need to report her to the bobby, police.\n\nShe would have better luck in USA, which is a safe haven for illegals.  1/3 of the 12 million of the illegals overstay after their visa expired, and never got caught.

yes yes yes!!! we are a british and we are allowing our heritage to be stripped away,pandering to a minority of whingers who have nothing to whinge about, if its so bad why are they here.i believe immigation should follow the lead of aus or usa...skilled people or people with money in the bank who can support themselves. they should have to pay for private health care and pensions as we do if we emigrate, maybe then the nhs wouldnt be so overloaded and we woudnt have to work to our graves supporting people who have no intention of being productive british citizens.going away from the point slightly i know but i also think there should be a return to the old system where if you havnt paid into the economy you cant take out..would put an end to all the phoneys and lazy layabouts on benefit. And before anyone accuses me of being racist i am 3rd generation mixed race. i have no problem with colour or immigration..just a problem me funding wasters and listening to do gooders talking out of their backsides. this country has no backbone and is going to the dogs. the laughing stock comment is highly accurate.

Are you asking if we should send migrants home to their countries of origins if convicted of some crimes in their host countries?\n\nIf that is your question, then I would say - "Definitely Yes!"\n\nWe have our share of criminals, but they are home grown, we can't help but keep them here and simply use the law to deal with them.\n\nIt's like a parents will deal with their naughty boy but still keep him at home.\n\nBut why would you keep someone else's naughty boy at your home when he caused trouble to you while visiting or staying over?  \n\nYou would send them home wouldn't you?\n\nThe same with governments.  We should send criminal homes to their countries of origins and let them be dealt with by their legal system.  Let them eat their prison food paid by their own tax payers.\n\nI think refugees should be given first a temporary asylum visas.  Check background and then be considered for PR.\n\nIf they claimed that their papers are destroyed and their ID cannot be confirmed, well give them the benefit of the doubt but have a clause for repatriation.\n\nI think this is fair ask.\n\nWant to come and live with us, be a useful member of the community.  Want to sit on their bottoms and have plenty of time to act out their crimes, go home!

To harsh. We should give the Illegal Immigrants a small fine because these people did break the law. But they should be allowed to stay. This country was founded on immigration. We do need to close the border for security reasons, however we should expand the amount of visa's we give to Mexicans.
