Big Asylum Scandal: Foreign Criminals Who Can’t Be Sent Home Given Free Homes Paid by UK Taxpayers

British taxpayers are being taken for a ride as they’re forced to pay for housing thousands of foreign criminals who should have been deported. The shocking truth is that many of these offenders – including violent criminals and sex offenders – will likely remain in the UK indefinitely because the government can’t send them back to their home countries.

The system is completely broken. Even after serving prison sentences, foreign criminals are being moved into regular asylum accommodation instead of being deported. The company managing these facilities admitted to Parliament that without proper deportation agreements with certain countries, there’s often no choice but to let these offenders stay permanently.

This isn’t just about a few isolated cases. Official numbers show more than 18,000 foreign criminals were living freely in UK communities last autumn. At the same time, the government continues wasting an astonishing £5.5 million every single day housing migrants in hotels – money that’s coming straight from taxpayers’ pockets.

What makes this even more frustrating is that there are much cheaper alternatives available. Housing people in basic flats or shared homes costs just £14 per night compared to the £145 per night being spent on hotels. But incredibly, the Home Office has reportedly turned down these more affordable options, claiming they’re too expensive – even though they’d actually save millions.

Migration experts aren’t holding back in their criticism, calling the situation a national disgrace. They argue that not a single foreign criminal should be allowed to remain in Britain, and that the government should get tough with countries refusing to take back their citizens. Suggested measures include visa restrictions, financial penalties, and trade sanctions until these nations cooperate.

The problem is made worse by offenders exploiting legal loopholes. There are cases where dangerous criminals, including convicted paedophiles, have successfully avoided deportation by making questionable human rights claims. Some politicians are now calling for changes to prevent this abuse of the system, but so far these efforts have been blocked.

As the crisis drags on with no real solution in sight, public anger is growing. Ordinary Brits are rightly asking why their hard-earned money is being used to house foreign criminals who should have been removed from the country long ago. With the government failing to get a grip on the situation, taxpayers look set to keep footing the bill while dangerous offenders remain on our streets.
