The true cost of housing Migrants that cross the Channel
Forget what you think you know about what a Migrant from France gets when he or she is in the UK. What you are about to see is the true figure.
We’re housing almost TWICE AS MANY illegal migrants as you thought
The total annual cost to the taxpayer has soared by 8 TIMES in only 5 YEARS
As the Starmer government continues to ease restrictions on illegal migrants, there is growing concern among the public regarding the existing state of affairs. The concern is amplified by the prospect of additional measures that could make it even easier for individuals to enter the country illegally.
What comes next is based on an investigation of the official files held within UK government departments.

Here is some of what a migrant family does not have to pay
- Rent
- Income tax
- National Insurance contributions
- Electric or gas bills
- Water bills
- Council tax
- Mobile phone bills
- Public transport tickets
- Prescription costs
- Dental care
- And they are not required to have made any contribution to the state for anything whatsoever
Even if your asylum claim is refused, you will still be eligible for a range of support and benefits to help meet your basic needs and ensure your well-being.
If individuals who are in the country illegally are not granted asylum, they will still be entitled to receive the majority of the benefits listed above. In the event that they meet the eligibility criteria (which is the case for almost all of them), they will still be provided with the majority of the benefits as listed above.
The British people have a deep-rooted tradition of extending a welcoming and safe sanctuary for individuals seeking to escape persecution from different corners of the globe. To the best of my knowledge, no one has proposed any alterations to this practice.
The report above concerns illegal migrants, most of whom do not have a valid claim for asylum. The majority of boat migrants are actually economic migrants, as evidenced by the number of individuals who have been denied asylum due to lack of eligibility.
It is now up to the public to decide if the generous and very expensive welcome given to these migrants is appropriate.
