Migrants amnesty would aid economy by £3bn, says study

An amnesty for an estimated 618,000 ­illegal immigrants in Britain would provide a £3bn boost to the economy, ­according to a London School of Economics study commissioned by the London mayor, Boris Johnson. The study, published last night by the London assembly, dismisses fears that an amnesty would trigger ­further large-scale illegal migration, arguing that ­Britain's border controls would be an effective deterrent.
