A statement like 'all countries have restrictions' is entirely helpful, and potentially dangerous.

While all countries made their own legislation, in areas concerning migration, changes to legislation must only apply to those from the point legislation changes, and it is the responsibility of government to prove the status beyond any doubt whatsoever of the individual, not the responsibility of the individual to prove otherwise.

Further, the government has placed a further burdon on employers and service providers to seek irrefutable proof of entitlemenr on pain of financial penalties.

The whole issue has nothing to do whatsover whether the individual has documentary proof whether or not they are acting legally or illegally (lets take a hypothetical case where the CPS has the power to prosecute anyone who cannot provide proof that they have never shoplifted. The whole issue is 100% around the hostile environment policy, and I look forward to successful prosecutions against employers for direct discrimination on the ground of refusing employment to avoid being prosecuted for obeying hostile environment legislation, health services for refusing treatment, landlords for refusing tenancies etc. As it is 100% a party policy their must be no recourse whatsoever to the tax payer for any compnsation, but but be raised 100% by the tory party and its supporters.
