£5bn for illegal immigrants while the LIB Dems are looking for £7bn savings?

Honestly how much illegal immigrants are costing the newly coalition government? £2, 3, 5, 7, 8bn a year or less or more?

As we know, Britain`s finances are in a terrible state and something must be done very quickly and swiftly or within the next semester, those who hate to hear about asylum seekers or illegal immigrats and their stories will be burning their parents or their savings to stay warm and asylum seekers or illegal immigrants would be kept in these warm immigration detention centres around the country.

It`s all over and everywhere that the coalition government have decided that the problem can be solved by cutting public spending and, on the face of it and economically and financially speaking, this sounds sensible.

The News of the World on their sunday edition september 19, 2010 revealed that the Labour government ( Tony Blair and Gordon Brown) spent a staggering £5bn a year to take care of of asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and european migrants for the last ten years and that the newly coalition government is handing over more than £200 million a year to charities and local councils to care for refugees and illegal immigrants.

 There is no mention about how much refugees and those so called illegal immigrants who are working here using fake documents and paying council taxes are contributing to the economy.

It could be fair if we have that information and could the have an idea of how much really the government is spending to administer the asylum system and policy. There are some organisations working with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants around the country that have stopped working because of the spending cut and only few are still struggling to stay open..

So handing over more than £200 million a year at this time of the spending cut area would appear a bit strange and even challenging. Damian Green, the new Immigration Minister is planning a huge review of his department and it is expected cuts.

And it would be great if Damian Green could give an estimation of how many failed asylum seekers in the last three years have signed for the Assisted Voluntary Return programme and how much the government has spent tax payers money to fund that controversial programme.

If there are about £54.5million spent for the last three years to fund that programme, they should have the exact figure of how many have left country under that programme. The News of the World revealed that failed asylum seekers receive thousands of pounds to go home and buy a house or train for a job without giving an example of what they are saying.

I found some of those so called failed asylum seekers who were offered £5000 to sign for a voluntary return home and when they were taken to the Airport, there was no money there to go and the decision was to take them back to Colnbrook Immigration detention centre.

So who is using or taking all that money?  Failed asylum seekers who are under section 4 support for the immigration Act 1971 receive an equivalent of £35 voucher to live on eveny week and there are expecting a reduction as well for £5 or £10  a week.

 And there are preparations going underground to protest again these cuts. A the moment they are obliged to live on £5 a day while on the full catering accommodation supported by the National Asylum Support Service, a Home Office department in charge of asylum seekers accommodation.

 There are so many ways to save money and to improve the immigration and asylum system in the UK without facing massive demonstrations and public anger over the government unfair and antisocial spending cut...
