Default would you report an illegal immigrant?

My Mrs has received a bit of verbal abuse tonight from a girl she knows. It turns out that the girl is probably an illegal immigrant who's outstayed her visa. She's really mad and says that if it turns out that the girl is illegal she'll report her. I said not to, make sure you've got you facts right first and then think about it before acting rashly.

So, would you report someone if you were in a similar situation?

She's not allowed to be here for a reason whatever that maybe, so I would.

I would be inclined to report her, but only if sure she was definately here now illegally.

Ahhhhhhhh, but maybe she's not a sponger, perhaps she's worked herself into quite a good job and is earning a reasonable amount. You could say that she's actually contributing to the economy

or to look at that scenario a different way, shes taken a job from someone that is meant to be here working in this country.

I would report her if I had even the slightest inclining that she could be illegal after all they would check her out and if she is here rightly then no harm done, if she isn't then goodbye to her.
If she has a good job and is contributing to society etc then let her go through the correct channels to become legal, if she doesn't then thats her tough luck.

I'd pass my suspicions to the police and let them sort it out.

No doubt in the slightest. Its not an issue of "too many here already" though, the simple fact is that shes potentially in the country illegally. The politics around it matters not.

one simple way of removing the matter faster ring the anti terroism squad and tell them you have reason to beleive she is an extremist and is buying lots and lots of bleach and cleaning stuff and is an illegal immigrant.
watch the rozzers turn up with mp5's and helicopters

Who cares if shes deprived a local of a job if shes better, survival of the fittest regardless of where they come from.

However if shes a sponger then I'd consider letting the authorities know
