HUNDREDS of migrants have been arrested since the start of this year as part of a UK-wide crackdown on illegal working, the government has said reports the BBC.

Officials say many migrants are drawn in by false promises about their ability to live and work in the UK, which leads them to “risk their lives by crossing the Channel”.
