Only 3% of Small Boat Migrants Deported
Figures reveal that just three per cent of small boat migrants have been deported since 2018, sparking outrage.
Thousands of Extra Arrivals
More than 8,000 additional arrivals are now housed in hotels, with asylum claims hitting a record high after last year's election.
Rising Costs and Occupancy
The number of occupied rooms in hotels has increased, reaching 38,079 in the second half of 2024, costing approximately £4.5 million per day.
Concerns and Criticism
Ministers are under pressure to address the issue of Channel migrants, with only 4,995 out of 147,849 small boat arrivals being deported since 2018.
Political Response
Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized the lack of deterrents and the granting of British passports to criminal migrants, leading to increased costs for taxpayers.
Border Minister Dame Angela Eagle acknowledged the challenges, mentioning that Labour inherited a "broken asylum system" and had removed 19,000 illegal immigrants since July.
