00:00A previously confidential report has revealed that as many as 1 in 12 people are living
00:06in London as an illegal migrant. The figures revealed that as many as 585,000 illegal migrants
00:13are living in the capital city. This news comes amid growing pressure on the government
00:18to cut illegal immigration as it's believed around 1 million people are in the UK illegally.
00:24The report, obtained by The Telegraph, shows the majority of illegal migrants entered the
00:29country on visitor or work visas before overstaying the allotted time. Richard Tice, the deputy
00:35leader of Reform UK, said that this is another reason why we need to properly control our
00:41borders and welcome those who come here legally but thank those who are here illegally as
00:46we return them where they came from. It was also reported that it has only taken 21 days
00:52this year for crossings to reach 1,000, which is the quickest time on record. But what do
00:57you think about this news? Do you have concerns regarding legal and illegal immigration?
