I don't see the problem here. These people don't seem to have valid visas or right to work in the UK and therefore are breaking the law. The UK has a big issue with people coming on the wrong visa and then working in the informal economy illegally, they just need to sort their visas and everything is fine.

Read the article, in a lot of cases they are not doing anything illegal. But we deport them anyway.

> EU citizens arriving in UK being _locked up_ and expelled I think you missed the point. The problem is not only controlling entry depending on their migration status (fair enough), but the process itself, which is meant to humiliate and scare people (hostile environment). The conditions in these detention places are degrading and people have to stay there for several days even when they say they will voluntarily go back in the first flight. If you found some mistake with your paperwork when landing in another country I think you would appreciate being given the choice of going back immediately instead of being locked up for a few days.
