Hunting illegal immigrants is like chasing phantoms – how can anyone hope to find them when they hide in the shadows? You can’t just “magic” them out. Furthermore, it’s not like they can really claim state help either (else they’d be gone faster than you can say “they took our jobs”). Sure, you could slowly catch them one by one, but it’ll take forever and a day.
If you offer an amnesty, they can then start paying taxes and actually properly contribute towards British society. And in any case, LibDems AFAIK aren’t proposing a total free-for-all. If I recall, doesn’t their amnesty require that the person in question: (a) speaks English to a satisfactory level; (b) wishes to be part of British society; and (c) has otherwise been well behaved; and (d) has been here 10 years?
