The British government allows more illegal immigrants into the country than any other country in Europe, an international study has found.
the study Research carried out by Oxford University's COMPAS Center and 17 other international universities shows that between 594,000 and 745,000 illegal immigrants live in the UK, meaning more than one in 100 people are in the country illegally. It means that you are.
According to this estimate, the country with the highest number of illegal immigrants in Europe is the UK, followed by Germany (up to 700,000), France (300,000), Italy (458,000) and Spain (469,000). It becomes. telegraph paper I will report it. The number of illegal immigrants recorded in Britain is roughly equivalent to that of a city the size of Leeds, Britain's third largest city.
However, the actual number of people who entered the country illegally is likely much higher, given that researchers do not include asylum seekers in their tallies. This means that the vast majority of people who cross the English Channel illegally are almost entirely uncounted. Apply for asylum on arrival in the UK.
Around 26,612 illegal migrants have landed in the UK so far this year, a 5% increase on this time last year, with nearly 1,000 foreigners crossing the Channel on Saturday alone. France's interior minister says four migrants have died trying to cross the dangerous waterway, including a two-year-old boy who was “trampled to death” in a small boat carrying around 90 illegal immigrants. did.
This is not the first time a young child has been trampled to death by a trafficker's boat in the English Channel, embarrassing for the French and British governments who have failed to act to drop business cases against smuggling gangs.
There are 745,000 illegal immigrants in the country, most of whom are asylum seekers who have overstayed their visas or have been refused entry. (illegal immigrants) are waiting. New Labor will continue to house migrants in hotels at taxpayers' expense for at least three more years as the number of illegal immigrants applying for asylum continues to rise, despite vows to end the process quickly. It is reported that.
Estimates of the cost of illegal immigration to this country vary, given the opaque nature of illegal immigration and the government's apparent reluctance to reveal the issue to the public.
May, Dame Andrea Jenkins said She told parliament that her analysis of government statistics shows that illegal immigration costs the UK at least £14 billion a year in public services alone, equivalent to around 10 per cent of the UK's National Health Service budget. .
Meanwhile, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) reported earlier this month that the Home Office, the UK government's branch agency tasked with managing immigration, had spent £7.9bn on the asylum system, border controls and visa management over the past three years. .
Despite the high economic costs as well as the breakdown in social cohesion caused by the influx of illegal immigrants, the report said: welcomed British left-wing media outlets have argued that the rate of illegal immigration in major European countries has remained stable since 2008 as evidence that the issue of immigration is being over-discussed.
However, illegal immigration does not occur in isolation, but rather in addition to large numbers of legal immigrants to Europe and the UK, as well as neoliberal governments that have granted asylum status to previously illegal immigrants, this rate is a reality. is depicted in a somewhat limited manner.
Researchers speculate that the reason Britain is apparently a more desirable place for illegal immigrants is likely driven by factors such as a black market economy operating under the radar of the government.
Dennis Kierans, senior research fellow at the University of Oxford's Compass Migration Center, said it was important for policymakers to know the scale: “They live and work in the UK, but are outside the mainstream tax and benefits system. These are the people who are active in the area.'' This means that they are pushed to the margins of society, at risk of exploitation and poverty, while the state misses out on contributing to the people's wallets. ”
