Upon arriving in the UK, asylum seekers are eligible for a wealth of support from accommodation to healthcare, with British taxpayers forking out £6m a day to house migrants in hotels. Small boat crossings under Labour have surged past 50,000 – equivalent to one migrant arriving every 11 minutes.

A record number of migrants have crossed the Channel for five consecutive months, highlighting how smugglers are exploiting Britain’s lax borders. With public anger growing over soaring entries, questions are being raised about whether Brits should be shelling out money to help asylum seekers integrate into our UK towns. According to reports, some asylum seekers are already being offered a range of cushy perks, including days out, discounts on classes and university bursaries as well as ironically, dramatic reductions on the hire of dinghies.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Brits are funding six freebies for asylum seekers, including “inclusion workshops”, according to Reform UK.

Zia Yusuf, the party’s former chairman, said a survey of migrant hotels by Wakefield District Health & Care Partnership would “infuriate” readers. The asylum seekers, from the Middle East and East Africa, were asked what activities they’d like to take part in to meet the “specific needs of some of our more vulnerable communities“.

He said: “These are not ‘customers’, they are paid for by taxpayers, in many cases here illegally.

“The worst part is that local taxpaying residents are never consulted. In fact, they are blocked from having a voice before people are deposited in their area.

“Yet, the ‘health and wellbeing service’ which taxpayers get is in total disrepair. It’s unfairness verging on wickedness. It’s time to put British people first.”
