> Access to housing would be restricted to sublets with multiple roommates, who are also in the same illegal immigrants. Nobody has ever checked my immigration status while renting in the EU, nobody has ever cared about the fact that I work for an US company owned by me that pays my salary to my US account. Sure, maybe you'll have a bad time renting in France. Don't go live in France unless you want to have a hard time while renting. > A good friend of mine, without papers, was living 10+ people in a 2 bedroom flat A good friend of mine, is here illegally and lives in a nice central 2 bedroom flat in Barcelona all by himself. He had zero trouble finding an apartment, the landlords just don't give a shit. Many illegal immigrants are completely broke, but that's by no means a requirement.
