Shef1985 Â Â 10 #5629 Posted June 19, 2016 for me the question is , how have illegal immigrants been allowed to stay here for 12 years ? Â Good question. Illegal immigrants are those that outstay their Visa and then disappear or snook into the country and live underground, which is pretty hard to do for 12 years. They can't claim benefits or legally rent property and must be paid cash in hand by dodgy employers to survive or commit crime to survive yet manage to avoid the police consistently. That's why I expect there aren't that many. Â I might be wrong though, but it was an odd policy for BoJo to come out with today.

JFKvsNixon   11 #5630 Posted June 19, 2016 for me the question is , how have illegal immigrants been allowed to stay here for 12 years ?  Soon, after Brexit it won't be an issue, they'll be legal and they can contribute to our society. Also, maybe illegal immigration as a whole shouldn't be such an issue if Boris increases the immigration levels as he's indicated he's minded to, so if people want to enter they won't have to do it illegally.

Shefuser   10 #5633 Posted June 19, 2016 Intersting idea by Boris Johnson, who wants to give illegal immigrants an amnesty and allow them to stay in the country. How does this sit with the Brexit supporters?   It's a hard call to make but he seems one of the very few honest politicians who's not in it to line his own pockets so I have faith in boris Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He's also pro immigration.  Do you think that it's a complete coincidence that he's completely changed his stance on the EU when the opportunity to challenge the PM for leadership of the Tory party came about?  ---------- Post added 19-06-2016 at 19:55 ----------  And how do you think they will contribute?? maybe keep the benefits office going and keep them in jobs  Ask Boris when he becomes PM in the event of Brexit.
