I have nothing against anyone coming to britain as long as they are prepared to contribute something, I have been brought up understanding that the word "illegal" though means exactly that, if I go out and commit a crime, it is considered to be illegal, and would if found guilty would be punished and even go to prison, depending on the seriousness of the crime.
But I am confused as to why the term illegal immigrant does not fall under the same category, surely if you enter Britain illegally, then you are breaking the law. ??
Confused....
