There's a subtle difference between illegal workers and bogus asylum seekers. In the latter case, the state (at least in Ireland) feeds and houses these people while their claims are investigated. They have lived off the taxpayer for month (often years), only to be found to have been found to be frauds. Luckily for them the state (at least in Ireland) does not ask for recompense from them before deporting them. Illegal workers do not get any handouts from the taxpayer and often taken jobs which local peopple won't do. Now having drawn that distinction, it is clear what should be done. They should be put on the first plane home, and I would also be in favour of requesting the receiving country to take their away.

The tide has truly turned post 9-11.
