The amount of money, money that could have been spent on services for Britons, that has been wasted over the years on unwanted or dangerous foreigners is truly astounding. Millions upon millions of pounds have been lost through welfare payments given to migrants who haven’t contributed to the central pot. The cost of housing foreigners, especially foreigners who do not contribute to the life or economy of the United Kingdom has robbed Britons not only of cash, but of access to housing stock. Then there is the cost of policing violent or criminal migrants and for the state to clear up the social mess that the importing of Abdul from Afghanistan or or Mohammed from Morocco have caused. This is both a financial cost in things like crime detection, imprisonment and assisting the victims of migrant criminals and the social cost in shattered lives, increased fear and in some cases being chased out of the areas that Britons may have grown up in.
There is even a cost, in this case a quite significant cost, even to keep those migrants that have no right to be here and who are plainly not ‘refugees’. Repeated and often vexatious appeals against deportation can not only run up a large legal bill, paid for by the British taxpayer of course, but also because it is the taxpayer who has to pay for their accommodation whilst the migrant is playing games with the legal system.
In this case, the situation is particularly disgusting. A Syrian who came to the UK with his family and who has been turned down 8 times for asylum but who has been playing the legal system in order to stay in the UK, has cost the taxpayer £28,000 in hotel accommodation alone over a ten month period.
According to the Daily Express, the family of five cannot be put up in any other type of property apart from a hotel and this has led to Staffordshire council having to pay out £700 per week on the housing of these shysters and chancers.
The Daily Express said:
Britain’s refugee system was criticised last night after it was revealed that a Syrian family’s hotel stay while they fight to be allowed to remain in Britain has cost £28,000 so far.
The family of five have been refused settlement status eight times.
They claim their lives would be at risk if they were returned to Syria and so have been put up in a hotel for 10 months.
The bill for their accommodation is costing Staffordshire County Council £700 a week.
Tory MP Peter Bone said: “If someone has the right to be here or is a genuine refugee then fine. But if they do not they should not be here and should be sent back home. It’s simple.
“This use of taxpayers’ money to keep people in hotels is ridiculous. This is something we simply have to get to grips with.”
The father originally came to the UK in 1998 to study international politics but later returned to his homeland and married in Syria in 2006.
The family returned to the UK in 2014 as refugees during the civil war.
Staffordshire County Councillor Mark Sutton said: “We have a legal duty to protect children and keep them with their parents when their families cannot access public funds.
“Previous legal advice told us we couldn’t use private rented properties so we have always used hotels.”

This is a truly appalling case. This is money that could be spent in much better ways. It could have been spent on our elderly, who are so often sidelined as local councils and the health service pander to the migrants who the Left sees as more deserving than those who’ve paid into the national insurance and tax systems. This is waste, utter and complete disgusting immoral waste of resources that Britons created but which the politicians are so plainly squandering.
