N AMNESTY allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the UK would cost a staggering £1million for each newcomer.
For the first time, the ?huge, unnecessary burden? of letting up to
950,000 foreign nationals remain is revealed today by campaign group Migrationwatch.They say the move would be a ?shocking waste of public money? when the nation is in the depths of recession.
And they warn that such an amnesty would only tempt more illegal immigrants into Britain ? as has happened in Italy and Spain where migrants have been allowed to stay.
A coalition of churches, unions and others are holding church services and a mass rally today in support of an ?earned amnesty? for an estimated 450,000 long-term illegal immigrants if they meet certain conditions.
