MigrationWatch, the independent immigration monitoring service, said on 31.7.2005 that it is likely that the number of illegal immigrants in the UK is about 870, 000 and not the upper estimate given by the government (via the Home Office) in July 2005 in which it was stated that the maximum number was about 570, 000.

The Home Office figures of July 2005 were based on data from the 2001 Census (with the assumption being made that Foreign nationals completed the Census forms). Before the May 2005 General Election, the government of ‘Tony’ B-liar said it did not know how many illegal immigrants were resident in the UK. The Home Office figures do not include births in the families of illegal immigrants since they have been in the UK, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of MigrationWatch said on 31.7.2005. Sir Andrew’s report pointed out that there could be between 15, 000 – 85, 000 babies born of illegal immigrants in this country. Some illegal immigrants have now been re-classified as EU citizens (following the entry of 8 east european nations INTO phpbb_the EU on 1.5.2005) but Sir Andrew made clear that there are a considerable number of overstayers and clandestine entrants numbering at least 750, 000 people.

The National Audit Office (NAO) has confirmed that asylum seekers whose applications are rejected are being given up to £17, 000 (equivalent to the salary of a nurse) if they have offspring aged under 18. The NAO said in July 2005 that £308 million of British taxpayers’ money is spent in the financial year 2003-4 on 18, 500 illegal immigrants with offspring aged under 18 (£16, 649 each – the starting salary for a nurse, in comparison, is £17, 610 or just £14, 300 for a partly-trained nurse).
The NAO also said that in 2003-4 £3.8 million (£15, 833 each) was spent on 240 ‘illegals’ whose country of origin “was not clear.” Sir Andrew Green of MigrationWatch pointed out that more money was spent in 2003-4 on letting failed asylum seekers remain in the UK than on removing them.
