Welcome to the UK. It’s a free-for-all.

It is not just the foreign invaders who have been given citizenship and the traitors and criminals claiming asylum that we have to pay for. We even have to pay for those who have not even been granted either yet.

The Express today exposes the cost of feeding, housing, medicating and educating the would-be Asylum seekers:

The true price of mass migration was laid bare yesterday by figures showing just what a backlog in asylum-seeking cases costs Britain’s taxpayers.

In the past three years, the Home Office admits taxpayers have paid £414million to feed and house foreigners waiting to hear if they can stay in the country.

The refugees are not entitled to work but can be paid what’s known as Section 95 support “to avoid slipping into destitution”.

But costs are mounting with the backlog of cases soaring past 32,600 since January last year. Some claims have been going through the system for 16 years.

Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, said: “This inefficiency not only impacts on the wellbeing of refugees but also means that they need support for longer.”

Ukip MEP Gerard Batten said: “These astronomical figures reveal another of the failings of government policy…a failure to deal with applications quickly.”

Jonathan Isaby of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “It’s vital that ministers ensure backlogs are cleared as soon as possible and that taxpayers are protected from excessive costs.”

A recent National Audit Office survey found asylum-seekers in taxpayer-funded accommodation with iPads and wide-screen TVs.

Home Secretary Theresa May will today announce Britain will accept “hundreds” of vulnerable refugees from Syria, including women and girls at risk of rape.

A Home Office spokesman last night said the department had reduced its total bill for supporting asylum seekers by £250million in the past three years.

And if it isn’t bad enough that we can be looking after all their needs for up to 16 years while waiting to get a decision on their claim for asylum, if they do get refused, then we pay for them to stay here while they appeal the decision!
