reporting illegal immigrant!!!

[edrelle]

hi everyone. i am not sure if this is the right place to post this, sorry.

I reported an illegal immigrants last April 2011 (7 of them on intra company visa). Since June last year they were made redundant by the company they worked for (Enterprise who maintain infrusfracture in UK)
As far as I know the company they work for didn't report them in Home Office about the cancellation of their visa. Untill now they are staying here with their family and children using public access. Since then, they are working thru agency in factories and their dependant using their dependant visa in nursing home.

I am wondering if the Home Office will take action? Its been 2 months now since i reported it. The last time I heard (last week), they have been employed by the agency doing the same job as linesman using their old visa from previous employer.

Should I email the Home Office again or write them? I am just wondering if the goverment is really doing something for people who are here illegally. Thank you.

Why would you even want to do that? Being an immigrant yourself and probably knowing the difficulties these kind of people face? They aren't criminals, jeeeez.

are you saying violating immigration laws is not criminal offense?

Working in breach of the conditions of your visa is a criminal offence, that you can go to prison for.

To the original poster, you could report it again, but UKBA will not tell you what is going to happen, or not happen as the case may be.

Illegal immigration is a crime that affects all who are here legally. As a law abiding citizen you have done the proper thing and reported it to the relevant authorities. This is no different to witnessing any other criminal acts.

Let me state my view on this. Many of the contributors here have no legal status for a multitude of reasons and approach the forum for advice. We are not here to judge from a legal point of view and I hope members feel that they will receive support where possible, (without condoning the route they have taken).
For that reason, I would be reluctant to give detailed advice on how to report someone who is suspected to be illegally resident in the UK at the risk of preventing members of asking advice openly on their situation.
