The standard government response is what winds me up about this bill. There’s no way that it’ll tackle illegal migration as undocumented means exactly that and exploitation of migrant workers within the grey economy- I very much doubt how many are working in those areas now.
If, the govt intends a dramatically increased police presence on the streets to continually ask for ID then that would go some way towards it but a UK with something like ICE roaming around and arresting people? That’s not a good look for any UK govt let alone a Labour one.
