The fanatically pro-EU LibDems have announced plans to offer a "selective" amnesty to illegal immigrants in the UK.
Home affairs spokesman Nick Clegg declared at his party conference in Brighton that it was "absurd" to suggest the 500,000 people in Britain illegally could all be deported - at £11,000 a head.
Instead after 10 years they should get the right to earn citizenship, he said.
The government says it does not know how many illegal immigrants are in the UK. However, pressure group Migration Watch puts the figure at between 515,000 and 870,000.
As objectionable as the amnesty is regarded by native Britons who remain angry and frustrated at the Labour regime’s mismanagement of immigration, it can never come to pass for one simple reason that the ardent LibDem Europhiles have overlooked – it’s illegal under EU law!

If a Somali migrant has been living for say 6 months in the UK he clearly doesn’t meet the LibDems 10 year criteria, but if the same Somali had spent the previous 9 and a half years in say France or any other EU country/countries his time in those countries counts towards the 10 year rule and any attempt to send him packing would be met with cries of discrimination.
It’s unworkable, it’s illegal and just immoral that we should have to accept the presence of several hundred thousands illegals in our national home.
No word, so far, from UKIP on this issue despite the presence of nine MEPs and a full time research staff team whose job, one would expect, would be to include pointing out the intrusion in all its many guises into national affairs by the institutions of Europe.
