Background

Illegal migration places an increasing burden on already stretched public services—including housing, healthcare, and social support—and is contributing to growing public frustration, especially among taxpayers who are facing rising living costs, cuts to services, and extended waiting times for essential provisions such as NHS care and council housing. The government is currently spending around £8million per day housing these individuals in hotels.
