When you look at the current situation, it is difficult not to question how much public money is being spent on illegal immigration and how many organisations, businesses and individuals are financially dependent on managing the consequences.
More than ten years ago, many ordinary working people voted for Brexit because they wanted the UK to regain control of its borders and immigration system. They expected British laws and the British justice system to be used to manage immigration fairly and effectively, including dealing with people who commit crimes.
Yet today, taxpayers are funding a vast system surrounding illegal immigration. This includes government departments and officials, accommodation providers, charities receiving public money, transportation, security, legal aid, lawyers, courts and judges, as well as healthcare and other essential services.
There are also the costs associated with people being rescued by the RNLI, accommodated in hotels or other housing, provided with clothing and phones, and given access to doctors, dentists and hospitals. There are further costs involved in transportation to appointments, security, administration and officials' travel and expenses. Legal cases can also result in substantial costs being met through legal aid.
My concern is not simply about the individuals arriving in the UK. It is about the enormous system that has developed around illegal immigration and the lack of transparency over where the money is going, who is receiving it and whether the system is actually working.
How many people are employed directly or indirectly because of this situation? How much money is being paid to charities and private companies? How much is being spent on accommodation, transport, security, healthcare, administration and legal aid? And how much of the taxpayers' money ultimately ends up as profit?
If organisations and individuals are making substantial amounts of money from a system that appears unable to resolve the underlying problem, then the public has every right to demand answers.
I am not saying that every person or organisation involved is corrupt.
