ukba finds 18 illegal workers

The BBC reports
Eighteen illegal immigrants have been caught working in Leicestershire as part of a crackdown in the county.

The UK Border Agency (UKBA) said nine men and one woman, aged between 28 and 53 and from India, were arrested in Leicester on 3 November.

All of the businesses visited have been issued with on-the-spot penalty notices for employing illegal workers and could face an additional fine of up to £10,000 for each illegal worker.
An additional £10k fine? I wonder what you'd have to do to avoid that .. .. .. become Attorney General perhaps?

I don't understand why we allow illegals into the country but then oblige them to become criminals by forbidding them to work for a living and thus add to the tax base. Just by allowing them to work surely cannot alter their status as illegals whose future has yet to be confirmed ?
I expect that The UK Border Agency (UKBA) enjoy looking all big and hard picking up a few Asians here and there to parade to the local press.
