I doubt there are that many that would end up in jobs paying enough to make it worthwhile in terms of income tax, a high proportion will simply use this as an opportunity to claim housing and benefits courtesy of the taxpayer so net takers. Secondly, these people are already paying taxes via VAT and paying for goods and services. An amnesty would be a green light to the rest of the third world to come here and take up valuable resources and housing, if general immigration was under control and the infrastructure in place to accommodate them then maybe the mood would be different but after decades of lies, deception and under-investment there is no way we will stand for this. The only illegals I would grant amnesty to are those that have degrees or very highly educated or skilled law abiding citizens and it would be limited to one person, not the whole family, the rest we need to deport unless exceptional circumstances.
