The European Union has nothing to do with it.
Immigrants come to the UK looking for a job. Without papers it's impossible to get benefits. They come off the lorries, call up someone and get picked up and taken to wherever and then get a low-paid (probably less than minimum-wage) job. They don't get a free car/house/£1000 Voucher at Harrods/Mobile.
Likewise, illegal immigrants often stop in Italy, France, Netherlands, Spain and other european nations. Italy has stepped up it's med border control and Malta is under pressure to do the same. Spain's border control at the south is strictly monitored. But these illegals risk life and limb to get a (in their eyes) well paid job.
and to answer the OP's question, no, it's a stupid idea. We should be scaling back costs in all public sectors, not increasing them.
