The UK taxpayer is set to pay over $2.5 billion on looking after 150,000 migrants currently waiting for their asylum claims to be processed.
The backlog for migrants seeking asylum in Britain has reached an all-time high, with their now being 150,000 people in the UK waiting for their claims to be processed by authorities. The claim comes as the government seeks to slash the backlog of migrants waiting to be processed by simply rubber-stamping applications en masse.
The waiting migrants — many of which have arrived in Britain vias small boats crossing the English Channel from France — now have to be looked after by the UK government, with the state now said to be spending £7 million (~$8.4 million) a day on housing some 40,000 in hotels.
