True regarding the NI side of things (and the prospect of possibly creating further employment). It’s a tough one. Hunting them down isn’t going to work either as the cost of a mass investigation and deportation sure isn’t going to be cheap either. It’s bad form, but in some ways it’s probably best pretending they aren’t there. After all, they can’t claim much state support, and the money that they get cash-in-hand is still being circulated.
As for regulating work in a region, I’d imagine a good way to police that is to bind a person to a region as specified on their permit for a period of time, maybe 5 or so years (not what LibDems are actually stating, but hey ho). Granted, a person could live elsewhere while working in another area (the area that they are permitted to work) but it’s not like they would be able to live that far away. And hey, even if it doesn’t work out, it’d be certainly no worse than the current situation (and their proposal of exit checks is even an improvement somewhat).
The problem with the Conservative policy is that a cap is an arbitrary figure. What if there’s less room in Britain? What if there’s more than expected? What of densely populated areas? And what of areas where there is surplus work, but shortage of workers?
