Britain is sinking under the weight of all the new asylum applications while staff is failing to cope with a mountainous backlog claims a report released today.
At least 50,000 of the foreign criminals have just disappeared altogether, and a further 175,000 should have been forcibly ejected from the country by now.
Home Secretary Theresa May has promised to sort the mess out, but has failed in every attempt she has made to cope with the crisis as her hands are tied by the EU.
The pressure grew further on Mrs May last night as the mayor of Calais said Britain’s generous handouts make it an ‘El Dorado’ for migrants and Tory minister Nick Boles admitted the UK will never be able to control its borders while a member of the EU.
Mrs May axed the discredited UK Border Agency following a series of immigration scandals and brought it under the direct control of the Home Office. But the logjam of asylum claims has since rocketed, the Commons Public Accounts Committee says today.
In the first three months of this year, 16,273 asylum seekers were still waiting for a first decision, a sharp increase on the 9,559 for the same period in 2013. Last year, MPs warned that slack checks by under-pressure officials could allow terror suspects and criminals to slip through the net into Britain.
PAC chairman Margaret Hodge said ministers have had to write off a ‘gobsmackingly awful’ £1billion of taxpayers’ money on IT projects intended to make it easier to keep tabs on foreigners entering and leaving Britain.
‘The Home Office must take urgent steps to sort out this immigration mess,’ she said.
The PAC report also revealed that a ‘worrying’ 29,000 asylum applications dating back seven years have still not been resolved, with 11,000 not even receiving an initial decision – a figure denied by the Home Office.
The beleaguered department has also lost track of at least 50,000 illegal immigrants who were refused permission to stay and is still to remove another 175,000, it says.
It is because of treaties with the EU that Britain cannot just deport all these animals instantly or withdraw all benefits and support for them.
Until the country is out from the EU and can control its own borders this mess will just keep getting worse and the politicians will just keep going round in circles.
