Well, you always were a messy eater.

I was illegal in 2001 (tourist visa). worked in a shop, shelving and dusting. £3 ph , 6-7h a day. No holidays , nothing. I don't think i was any competition back then to any locals xD

If there weren't illegals who would work under these conditions, the employer would have to pay the minimum wage and conform with employment legislation. By taking such work, you were encouraging exploitation, driving down wages and taking away a job from a local.

If you'd have been caught, I'd certainly have supported your deportation. Illegal working does no-one any favours.

Like if that matters now. It was 16 years ago , I was young and didn't even finish school yet. I remember tall buildings, new BMW's and white collars and wanted to achieve something in my life, be like them. Came back Poland, motivated, and finished highschool and uni.

You learnt that young.

Well played, well played indeed.

There should be a bounty for members of the public who turn in illegals. Say £200 a head?

See how long all that leftie solidarity lasts then

I don't think that will work well. People will simply report everyone of foreign skin colour to police.
About how many millions that would be?
Considering many of the reported could be British citizens themselves.

How would the govt deal with that then?
This is why I don't like the ideas of some people like ukip who would come up with silly ideas like these, quoting common sense as the basis of such things.

it was 35 illegals found and 150 who are on the run in one small chain that I had never heard of. That sort of suggests its endemic. Are we supposed to ignore it?

You don't seem to get what I am commenting about!

I am commenting about this idiotic idea he mentioned:

"There should be a bounty for members of the public who turn in illegals. Say £200 a head?"

How do you suppose members of public - i.e. any average Joe, is going to know or even understand who is illegal, given the complexity of our Immigration laws/rules?
Also they might simply call up police every time they see a person with foreign skin color, for the bounty he talks about!
That reported person could end up being British for all that Mr. general public might know.

Can you say who is illegal (as a general public) just by looking at someone?.. without looking at their papers in detail, and checking through the 1000s of lines of legal wordings, and laws around immigration and rules?
If it was that easy, we won't need immigration department, or immigration specialist lawyers, would we? ...Every average joe public would end up being a legal consultant!!!
Chaos would prevail, at that rate!
