I can't see how you can stop illegal immigration, unless you are prepared to search every single lorry and container coming into the country, which would bring trade to a halt.
I have said on another thread that employers and landlords should be penalised for dealing with illegals, but people will just get false ids.
To crack that problem you'd need a national id system, with everyone's biometrics stored, with scanning devices all over the country so that you could check the status of every person - the cost would be enormous and so would the civil liberty implications.
