Poor bastards.

They'll be back in 3 days...

I have neighbours who work for immigration and they said they pick 'em up, book 'em, take 'em to the border and they just turn around and come right back in again.

The benefits (even 100 B a day) outweigh the risks of a day in clink and a trip to the border for many of these poorest of the poor.

More likely who ever runs the building site forgot his tea money.
