Ideas are afoot to grant 500,000 illegal immigrants amnesty.

Seems that this could generate £1 billion in taxes - always provided that the 500,00 own up and are in a position, earnings and employment-wise, to pay taxes.

Concerns that an amnesty solution would open up the gates to several hundred thousand more arrivals seem to be fading - must be all those £ signs such a prospect causes to fill the eyes of those in support - blinding them to the downsides of such a move (strains on social services, NHS, housing, police, etc, etc.)...
