And, as I have said to you many times, they arrive in the UK as

You really think you need paperwork to get a job or a room in the UK? Or
for emergency medical treatment?

Yes. I, having being born and brought up in the UK of English parents
and having a clearly English name am asked to prove my eligibility to
work in the UK each time I start in a new position - and as I work
contract, typically 16 to 22 months, that is fairly often.

Can I ask what sort of work you do?

Is it fruit picking or working on a small building site? Self employed
delivery driver? Car wash? Serving in a bar? Or any of the myriad jobs UK
born don't want to do.

Some do want to do themn it's just that they want paying a reasonable rate in reasonble conditions, but what happens is you get the slave trade taking over and doing such jobs for a few quid an hour.

In my last position, the guy sitting next to me (who I have worked with
elsewhere before) and who is a landlord with a small number of
properties is required to check new tenents eligibility.

Oddly, I've never been asked when having guests.

Tenents and guest are quite differnt.
