Asylum seekers cost £2m a day


BRITAIN'S chaotic asylum system has cost taxpayers £2.3million a day in the last decade.

Around 77 per cent who claimed asylum between 1997 and 2010 are still here.
Hundreds of thousands have been allowed to stay even though their claims have been rejected, a damning new report shows.
Costs including housing, cash support and legal fees added up to £10billion - or £2.3million a day, Migration Watch found. Decisions have been reached on a total of 660,000 asylum cases between 1997-2010. Of these, 26 per cent were granted asylum and 14 per cent got some other form of protection or leave to remain. It means 60 per cent of cases - around 417,000 - should have been sent home. But only a third of them - around 119,000 - went.
