Tom Swarbrick debates with former member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee, Mish Rahman.
In a government effort to tighten UK border security, thousands of migrants working illegally in nail bars, car washes and restaurants have been arrested.
Some 3,930 arrests have been made across 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers since July 5 when Labour took power to January 31, in what is understood to be a 38% increase compared to the previous 12-month period.
Officials believe people are sold false promises about their ability to live and work in the UK, encouraging them to make dangerous journeys to the country organised by criminal gangs.
But when they arrive, officers often find illegal workers in squalid conditions working inhumane hours for employers who are avoiding taxes and undercutting competing businesses.
Those arrested made the journey through a mix of routes including by crossing the English Channel and by overstaying their visas, and were discovered in a number of sectors ranging from nail bars to convenience stores.
