Illegal migrant blitz on car washes and nail bars sees nearly 4,000 arrests in just seven months BORDER staff have nicked nearly 4,000 migrants working illegally in the UK in just seven months.
Arrest figures from the Home Office don’t reveal how many, if any, migrants involved have been returned to where they came from and how many are still being accommodated at ruinous cost to the taxpayer.
FINALLY a crackdown has begun on the shady tax-dodging nail bar, takeaway and car wash businesses and others employing migrants with no right to work here.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper blasted the rogue bosses and said employers had been able to exploit illegal migrants with impunity for too long.
Some 800 deportations have taken place, but that is a fraction of the number who came here just in small boats last year and not even as many as have arrived that way in January alone.
