The Home Office has today published a list of companies found to be employing illegal immigrants to the UK as part of its "name and shame" strategy. I have to say that the results don't exactly justify all the fuss over immigration.
May's haul of big-time criminals brought in just 35 companies employing
a total of 56 illegal workers. Most were Indian restaurants or kebab
shops, and the biggest offenders - a couple of car wash businesses -
had just three illegal workers each.
It doesn't appear from that evidence that either the workers or their employers would figure high up on Interpol's Most Wanted list.
It would, though, be interesting to know where the BBC got its film footage allegedly showing at least 10 people it labels "illegal workers" lined up against a wall during a raid in Derbyshire.
Perhaps some or all of the 10 were not so much "illegal" as "foreign".
