The home secretary has said plans for new checks on unauthorised working will help cut levels of illegal migration.
Yvette Cooper has announced plans to expand the range of companies that can be fined for not carrying out right-to-work checks on casual workers.
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, she said criminal gangs were using the prospect of illegal work to lure people into trying to enter the country.
It comes ahead of a UK-hosted summit on Monday, to be attended by about 40 nations, on tackling organised immigration crime.
Conservative shadow minister Alex Burghart said his party would study the proposals, but Labour needed to do more to deter people from coming to the UK.
