Reporting illegal immigrants

Nihal

Available for over a year

Net migration to the UK has reached record levels - 330,000 more people came into the country than left in the last year. That is despite the Prime Minister's promise to reduce it to the "tens of thousands". Official figures also show 1 in 8 of the population were born abroad. The issue of immigration has been at the forefront this summer especially when it comes to people entering the country illegally. On our phone-in we asked: Should you always report your friends and family if they are here illegally? Is it your duty to shop someone who should not be in this country? Listen to what our callers had to say.
