It is not factors beyond the Government's control which allow illegal immigrants to stay here whether indefinitely or not. It is a ridiculous set of rules/regulations which have come to be under a number of governments over the years and the failure (for various reasons) of the authorities to act effectively which has caused the difficulties we have NOT the impossibility of the task. Their negligence and ineptitude in these is matters is what's responsible for allowing such abuse of the system and it's entirely within their control if not their ability or intentions. If I leave my front door open I don't give permission for others to enter but I allow (ie give them the opportunity) to do so if they so wish.
