Having done a contract in Pakistan a couple of years ago - Lahore and Mirpur, I can understand why so many of them want to come to UK - engineering/construction labourers were paid the equivalent of £7 for a 6 day week - food was provided and they found somewhere to sleep on the job site. I suggest that the great majority of would be immigrants, legal or illegal, are for purely financial reasons, and to get away from the slum conditions in which most of them live.
