Ah well you are getting to the real bacis Steeljack.. no immagrants are allowed in the UK unless they are legally entiltled to do so..or they may seek asylum ..it's easy to jump a ship from say africa to Spain or travel inland from east europe to France ..but then you have the English channel... that is the main stumbling block for ilegall immagrants... I don't believe all the stuff about free benefits for illegal immagrants.. it's all something the whingers and the Frence cook up to make us feel like it's some sort of Custers last stand here.
