    Official: Illegal immigration "cheats the taxpayer"

    "Using illegal labour is not victimless. It cheats the taxpayer, undercuts honest businesses and denies legitimate job seekers of employment opportunities," East Midlands Immigration Enforcement assistant director Alison Spowage.

    Garment factory MK Clothing Ltd could face a 240,000 pounds fine while Fashion Times UK Ltd -- 180,000 pounds, if proven they didn't lawfully take steps to establish the employees' legal status.
