Summary:
There are many illegal immigrants in the UK. Most of them have been smuggled into the UK. The immigrants dreamt of a better life in the UK, but it turned out to be a disappointment. Many of them do not have a document, so they are in a no man’s land. Voluntary departures have risen the last six years. Legal immigrants offer illegal immigrants a shed in their backyard for a rental price of about £ 800 a month. Local councils think there are approximately 10.000 sheds in London and the Home Counties. They have to give landlords and tenants a 24 hour notice for inspection, so landlords have enough time to clear evidence.
Opinion:
It is so sad that landlords take advantage of the situation of illegal immigrants. Often, landlords use the rent to pay their mortgage. It is shameful that in a civilized society people have to live in sheds that resemble slums in Third World countries. Many illegal immigrants do not possess a document, they live in a no man’s land for many years. Britain does not want these immigrants and they cannot be send to another country. Many of them get depressed and end up in the gutter. I think it is a disgrace to let people suffer for many years in a so called civilized society. Why can’t they be legalized?
