our immigration system needs a complete overhaul, however that is unlikely to happen, first off money is involved and manpower, plus the inertia of our top politicians to effectually bring about these changes.
Those blokes waiting at Calais said they all wanted to get to UK for a better life, not France, nor Germany, but Britain, because many have relatives already here. the figures put forward were somewhere around 800,000 illegals not sure if that was in UK as a whole or just in the capital, however nothing is going to stop them from coming, nor our borders being effectively monitored. One British lorry driver was find 18k for unknowingly having 18 illegals on the lorry, i believed him when he said he had done the various checks at Calais, but it was his first trip and perhaps has learned a bitter lesson, that money has to come out of his pocket, and the company was fined as well.
