I didnt say illegal immigrants should not abide by the laws of the country they are in.but then shouldnt all peopleI am not ashamed that my partner is illegal.Am i going to be arrested in the next few days for harbouring an immigrant?if you had your way probably yes.We are going to get married next month so the "whoops " is irrelevant.sometimes you have to put yourself in other peoples shoes.If i came here on a tourist visa and was lucky enough to get some work and better the life of my family i think i would overstay.Its economics.Its much harder for the guys.The women often get the chance to stay or get here through marriage.
its your last statement that worries me.Im very happy that 100% of all filipinos you know are legal.That does not hide the fact that many in the u.k are not.You say you would make sure they did everything to abide by the laws of the country.They are already breaking the law by being illegal! a crime is a crime whoever commits it.The laws are in place for everyone.Im not saying that crimes are not commited by illegal people but lets be honest you dont hear about too much trouble from filipnos.Would you report somebody illegal?You have every right.Im just interested if you would.
