So you don't think it's unreasonable for the immigration office to know exactly where the illegal immigrant Joe Blogsein is at all times?
They should somehow know if he moves location then?
Crystal ball or sooth sayers?

Because to do so would have been detrimental to everyone involved, me, him, Britain. Instead we're in a situation now where everyone involved benefits. I can still pop round and see him, he gets to live in the country and house where he grew up in, and gets an education, his uni gets thousands and thousands of pounds worth of funding, council get's it's tax, utilities companies get an income, Tesco's sell more goods, etc etc.
The only downer at the moment is that due to changes in the work side of the student visa it's nigh impossible for him to get a job, so that less money for the economy, but hey, it's what the tabloids wanted.
