What should I do?

I have a friend who is dating an illegal immigrant and I'm so worried about him. She is 25 years younger than him (he is 79) and he has been in debt since he met her as she spends all his money. He isn't a rich man and worked up until recently so now depends on his pension.
There are thousands of illegals in London, they never get discovered because the city is vast and they can get lost. They latch on to old men in the hope they can marry them and get a visa. His family is so worried about him but he is the only one that doesn't see what she is doing.
Maybe we should let him carry on as he seems happy enough. What would you do?

Is there a way to quietly let someone know where she's at and her status as an illegal immigrant? If that was happening here, I know how to contact immigration and report an illegal in our area.
If she's just using him for the little bit of money he gets monthly, then she should be ashamed of herself... But those type of people are never ashamed of taking advantage of others.

A family member already has but nothing has been done. There are so many of them in London and they know how to stay well hidden. She works for a Chinese family, no postal address and is paid well in cash, all a bit dodgy.

@DaddyEvil to be honest I'm worried about getting him into trouble as harbouring an illegal carries up to a 14 year imprisonment although because of his age I think he could plead ignorance.

@sprite1950 I see... As far as I know, that isn't a thing here. But I could be mistaken, too. I've never harbored an illegal so have never had to deal with that.

I would say don't get involved, If you do more problems will arise, Let them do what they want to,

well
If he is of sound mind and quite happy, maybe best leave him to get on with it
It's not only illegals who latch onto old men and bleed them dry.
My pal is 74 years old, disabled, was in a coma for months, he can hardly walk,
Yet he has become the sugar daddy to a 30 something woman who is really attractive and who has 2 daughters and a boyfriend.
My pal gives her money all the time and pays for her smokes and other stuff. He accrued rent arrears. He nearly lost his house.
But as my wife pointed out what he does is his business.
I reckon that apart from reporting her to the authorities there isn't a lot you can do.
