@gbnews: A small village's estate of new-build homes will be filled by dozens of illegal migrants. Residents in Stoke Heath, Shropshire, have vowed to fight a scheme which will place 83 "asylum seeker" families into an estate of 21 homes. Locals have dubbed the estate "Migrant Street". Speaking on GB News, Martin Daubney fumed at the plans. He said: "The house you would die for, the house you could work years and years and years for and yet never be able to afford in broken Britain. No problemo. Come to Britain on a dinghy, chuck your passport oveboard... and you can walk into a migrant mansion." Serco, the contractor responsible for housing asylum seekers in the region, said: "We work under the direction of the Home Office, who decide where ­people are placed, based on overall national demand. "The Home Office determines how many people are to be accommodated in each local authority area and instruct us accordingly." A Home Office spokesman said: "This Government is restoring order to the system by making record levels of asylum decisions, cutting claims by 12 per cent and increasing removals of illegal migrants by 41 per cent. "We are working closely with local authorities to ramp up the closure of asylum hotels across the UK. Hotel numbers have more than halved since their peak and instead we are scaling up the use of large, basic accommodation for illegal migrants to reduce community impact." #MigrantCrisis #AsylumSeekers #Shropshire #UKNews #GBNews
