It has enough laws to do just that. But mainly, the more direct laws are aimed at traffickers and employers of those illegals. However, a lorry driver that 'accidentally' brings some in when they sneak aboard his lorry can be heavily fined,...

Should the UK introduce a law making it a criminal offence to help an illegal immigrant?

Q: Just like the French have or may be the EU should pass it so all EU members would have to introduce such a law?http://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/april-1-2009/france-getting-tough-with-those-aiding-illegal-immigration.htmlUnder French law, anyone who facilitates "the entry, movement or irregular (illegal) stay of a foreigner in France" faces up to five years in prison and a 30,000-euro maximum fine.

A: It has enough laws to do just that. But mainly, the more direct laws are aimed at traffickers and employers of those illegals. However, a lorry driver that 'accidentally' brings some in when they sneak aboard his lorry can be heavily fined, even though he had no idea that they were aboard his truck.I know a bloke who employed some by accident, their passports and visas looked in order, but they were all forged. He nearly went to court and nearly lost his business for it, but they eventually let him off. The law is already tough, but many are still sneaking through.
