Illegal immigration - an offence?

If an illegal immigrant was to reside within the UK illegally, what offence would they be charged with?
Also, if I could be given a source that would be fantastic! :smile:

Immigration Act 1977 - section 24 or 24A. Residing in the UK illegally is not in itself an offence, they would most likely be charged with entering without leave.
