There's an excellent fictional treatment of this issue in a recent film about desperate illegal immigrants in Britain. It's called _Dirty Pretty Things_ and stars the wonderful French actress Audrey Tatou. That's not just my opinion, BTW. It gets a 94% approval rating from newspaper critics at the film rating site RottenTomatoes.com (And if you can, you should catch her other film, a delightful comedy called "Amelie", with an 88% approval rating from the critics).
