And it was a mass influx.
And some leaders from Europe, namely Angela Merkel in Germany, were incredibly welcoming and said, our doors are open.
Now, in the UK, we spend about £5 million a day.
That's about probably $6.5 million a day of taxpayers' money, accepting illegal migrants in,
taking them to hotels, allowing them to sit there in genuinely sometimes quite nice hotels because we have such a huge processing backlog
they could be sat on that system for one, maybe two years.
