Anyone I suppose who has not over stayed the time given on his passport or the time given to him by the home office. Along with all the other persons who were born here or who hold British passports. I will assume everyone else will be illegal.

Some really good answers, however I think the answer should be that no one can say. Just about anyone is let in, nobody knows where they go, and if they were found to be smuggled in we don't care about deporting them as they will have travelled half way around the globe to get here apparently as it is so dangerous in their country.

Well, you didn't expect anyone to say they weren't did you?
Maybe you should've asked who was an illegal immigrant?
