I agree that illegal immigration shouldn't be tolerated. To my mind, it is the national equivalent of trespassing and perhaps more does need to be done to stop people entering the country illegally.
However, the number of illegal immigrants entering the UK is actually quite small compared to the number of legal immigrants. The vast majority of immigrants into the UK these days come here perfectly legally from other EU countries, since immigration from the EU is unregulated. Under current law, all EU immigrants have a perfect right to be here and are entitled to the same rights and respect as anybody else. Perhaps EU immigration should be regulated, but that is a subject for another question.
Illegal immigrants, on the other hand, have no right to be here, and as a consequence are not entitled to the same rights under the law. They, therefore, tend to end up working for unscrupulous employers who pay them next to nothing for doing terrible jobs that no British born person or legal immigrant would be seen dead doing.
So I don't think your contention that "Too many illegal immigrants taking our houses and monies while we workers pay to keep them here" stands up to close scrutiny.

Many of the illegals not only pay for their own housing.. but they send money back home to their families in Mexico as well... and on top of that.. all the money that is paid in on taxes towards their fake SS# (for those that choose that route to get work).. they don't get back.. it just stays with the government.... if you take issue with the fact they have come here illegally.. fine.. they broke the law.. it's true... but with your current argument I feel you are off base with your reasoning.

Yes I do. It annoys me. When I walk around the place I grew up in, my hometown, I get stared at because I'm white.
The only available houses that I can afford are in places where there are no whites. My father recently caught TB off an albanian (a doctor said this by the way).
There is no room anymore. This country simply can't sustain all these people, and soon all the cities will be white-free zones.

Illegal immigrants don't get money from the government. To get the dole and housng benefit you need a NI number and to get this you have to provide the social security with proof that you are allowed to be in the country.
The are many immigrants who work harder and more than many British people who choose to sponge of the government.

When I read the racist, paranoid bullsh1t continually spouted by certain people on this site, I feel like a minority of the only person who gets out of his bedroom long enough to notice that we are NOT being swamped by immigrants and that out houses are being taken by our own rich citizens. I suspect I pay my taxes to keep a more unemployable racists than immigrants.

I have to say I am with you on this one! Why as a country do we keep accepting these people? do we not have enough problems with housing and jobs!

the logistics of deporting 10-13 million people are astounding.
a much more reasonable alternative would be amnesty and then completely shutting down the border.
keep in mind that this was the result of globalization policies that reagan, bush i, clinton, and bush ii actively pursued.
both the republican and democratic party have gotten us into this mess.
vote accordingly.

No. I like ethnic diversity.
And, imo, alot of immigrants are working in poorly paid jobs that noone else is prepared to do.
