At long last, someone who understands the difference between illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

Thats true - however, when illegal immigrants break the law, there is no protection for their victims.

For example, if your car is hit by that of an illegal immigrant he/she will have no insurance and you will have to foot the bill.

Also, the temptation to get into crime is strong if illegal immigrants come to this country - as they have no support from the state, they arent able to legitimately get decent jobs where they could use any skills they have and they may not speak english...

So indirectly, they do cost the state. Sometimes a heck of a lot more!

So surely the answer is to give illegal immigrants legal status?

This allows them to take out car insurance, avoid a life of crime and contribute to the exchequer through income tax.
