Would have been better had we been in the EU, as then we would have Europeans legally here to be able to fill this kind of work.

Erm, and wasn't Brexit campaigned for so we could 'protect our borders'. That must be a choker to those who voted for it. Leavers who voted for this reason must feel conned by those who campaigned for it.


Can't disagree 123 although would not call this good news as our borders should be sealed. Perhaps using all these illegals once processed to pick fruits and carry out other vacant jobs so the choice is - work and earn your keep or don't expect even a bar of soap for free. Life is tough for all and surely every illegal would be desperate to work in the fields!!!
