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.
Now, they're not allowed to work in that period of time, so they're given benefits.

alone in the UK.
And that is not sustainable for a country.
If you said that to President Trump, you're going to give more away in benefits than you'll take in income tax.
He'd take a massive pen through the whole financial system.
He'd rip it up and he'd start again.

It has the Lamborghini showroom and the Ferrari showrooms.

sides of the road is a tented community, a camp, a homeless camp of mainly illegal migrants who are there.
