    What usually happens is the 'immigrant' normally disposes of all his/her identity papers so if caught it's very hard to 'prove' their country of origin. The foriegn embassies are reluntant to issue travel documents to anyone that refuses or they (the embassy) dispute the nationality of. Therefore this country ends up issuing them with a 'Stateless Travel Document' which allows them leave to remain in the UK for either a limited or indefinite period.

    In the good old days we slung them back on the ferry from which they embarked with or without travel papers and informed the French that as they came from there they could have them back.The French PAF usually obtained (under polite interview and over a cup of coffee! ) the details they required to ship the illegals back to North Africa or from wherever they came etc but Thatcher changed the rules and signed the Treaty which prevented this very effective and low cost removal of immigrants.
