    I have some fantastic news for you. For some time now, if you enter the UK via an illegal route you already have No Recourse To Public Funds. This means you can't get council housing, you can't get universal credit, you can't get child credit and you're not entitled to free treatment in the NHS. You have to pay for everything yourself.

    Why would anyone do that? Ignorance maybe, but usually because it's better than being killed and they already speak some English or have family here.

    The last job you got-did you have to supply identity papers such as drivers licence, passport or similar? Employers legality have to establish your right to work in the UK.

    So the his news for you is there's already no legal way for illegal immigrants to be paid anything at all in the UK. Automatically destitute. Woohoo. You must be so proud.

    Lol, that's for legal migrants

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-change-of-conditions-of-leave-to-allow-access-to-public-funds-if-your-circumstances-change

    You can apply online for a change to your conditions if your financial circumstances change and you:

    • have permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
    • have applied for permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
    • have permission to stay with a close relative with protection status as a child
    • hold a British National (Overseas) visa
    • have permission granted on any other immigration route and you want to apply on a discretionary basis because your circumstances are particularly compelling

    Note the permission thing.
