Fines of £3,000 can now be imposed on landlords who don't do proper checks on their tenants whith regard to their right to be in the country.

Seems to me that it will be increasingly difficult for immigrants to get tenancies now as most landlords will simply turn them away due to the extra hassle and risk associated with these types.
The checks also applies to anybody that a tenant might harbour after the property has been let to them.
You can see the problems straight away.

According to the 'Illegal Immigrant & Proud' programme,there are 800,000 living in the UK. I find that figure curious, because the government, who are supposed to know what's going on (chortle) have no idea how many are here. 

When they arrive illegally, the first thing they do is destroy all identity papers so they can't be deported.

If you believe the Indian bloke on the programme, who was in Ilford, he had been doing building work and sent home £600 a month to his family. He says he did it to buy land and build a farm.
(Good for the UK economy, if they're all sending £7k a year each out of the country)

He was then injured, so he can't work or claim benefits. He says he knows every cell and officer in Ilford Police Station because he now goes shoplifting every day. He said he likes prison, because he gets 3 meals a day and a roof over his head. When he's not in prison he sleeps in a graveyard.

He can't be deported as he destroyed his passport. I turned it off when he was refused admission to the Indian High Commission in London, which apparently wasn't his first visit, to try and get back home to India.

Imagine just 10% of the 800,000 illegals doing the same thing.

Immigration is beneficial to the country, northernlad said so.

The country's services are staggering under the numbers of immigrants, they certainly couldn't pay their way if we had to find the money to restore the services back to what they were before the invasion started.
An extra four million accessing the same services has got to be ruining it for everybody.
Everybody can see the folly of unlimited immigration.

Except northernlad and his Labour Party.

The sad thing is we are stuck with what we have and it's only going to get worse.
People who speak out about the obvious problems that uncontrolled immigration brings are branded as racists.

Too many people in the country for the facilities. Just one example is the road system which cannot cope with the amount of vehicles. Motorway driving is a nightmare now. It took me 4 hours to get from Manchester to Birmingham yesterday on the M6 and M42. No accidents or major road works. Just too many vehicles. If you tell someone anywhere else in Europe that a motorway journey of that distance takes that long they look at you in disbelief.

Exactly bix.

The pro immigration lot tell us we should build more to accommodate the extra numbers, but we would be shelling out simply to get the country back to where we was before we opened the floodgates. We haven't got the money or the room to build where people want to live.

Look at HS2. Now they're telling us that it's extra rail capacity that's needed.
Extra capacity due to immigration - the roads are packed and the railways are packed as well.   

We're playing a game of catch that we can't possibly win. 
We're wrecking the country for our kids.
