Why the philosophy: “They’ve come here illegally, but been here for years now, we should let them stay”?

In that case: “Oh, that serial killers been killing people for years, lets let them carry on as they’ve been doing it for so long”.

What’s the difference? They came here illegally, they should be deported, I don’t care why they came here. Ok, so if they were threatened with violence or whatever then maybe they should be considered (but if it was that bad, going through the legal options would be fine, and they would probably be let in), but it’s the ones who come here because they wanted a better job that bug me. As if there isn’t enough jobs in the UK at the moment, they then go and work for cheap rates illegally, making even less jobs! Not only do they do that, but some turn to crime aswell (as if the jails aren’t overflowing already).

Infact, just deport all illegal immigrants, all criminals, and Tony Blair too whilst you’re at it.
