I know america did this some years back and i was a successful move. The home office has made such a mess of things that i think they need to start from scratch. There are some overstayers/ failed visa applicants who are still working for little money just because their home country is so bad. these people deseve the right to pay tax and have a bank account.
People who have been apprehended in this country (or if on the run) for a violent/sexual/drug related/ financial crime should still be deported.
But there needs to be something in place so that whole families cannot just recieve multi room housing.e.g the main bread winner should apply first, sought themselves out with accomodation and a job and then send for the family.
Yes- I am an immigrant symphathiser as i believe if things ever got really bad in this country i would hope that i could flee to another.

David S i hope you are talking to Curt or Loanshark there.
When i say if things get bad i mean if terrorism became an overwhelming threat. Or if the BNP got into power.
My parents came over to this country legally from Grenada and worked hard from day one. I just think that people who want to work should be given the chance and not be made to fear the processing system by the disproportionate probability of being refused an application when you have to pay between £350 and £500 for it to be processed....people do pay it and it is non-refundable...who can blame the overstayers when they have just been conned.

The Brits are about to be outnumbered by illegals. They may not have a choice.
Maybe you think these people have a right to bank accounts and all that, but at whose expense? You are building a case that the only people with rights are illegal aliens.
And why would you be so willing to flee, "if things things ever got really bad"? Are you saying that immigrants have a right to come into your country, take your homes, your public money and your jobs so long as they allow you to flee when the going gets tough?? Don't you have relatives who fought for your country?? If so, what would they be thinking of your logic right now?
What in the world are we doing to ourselves???

How can one best say this. ok I will just say it. IF we did not have a welfare state do you honestly believe that the immegrants you are so pro would pass through numerous countries and obstacles to get to us.
IF you were living in an oppressed Great Britain under an evil leader and your livelihood were threatened (make the similarity as life is cheap in some places) would you travel thousands of miles to say Australia before claiming asylum. Of course you wouldn't, you would do it in France,or Germany or Holland.
Come the revolution you had better know where you and your friends are going!!! (Ooops, sorry, we ARE living in GB under an EVIL leader who threatens our livelihood)

This is all a bit rich coming from you, seeing as you have already asked for help on Q/A about benefits for your poor mother that needs to go back to Ireland....Ejit.
