British Army Drafted in to Build Camps For Illegal Migrants
The British Army has been tasked with building temporary hostel-style migrant camps on British soil to house up to 30,000 illegal Channel migrants from next month.
Priti Patel, the British Home Secretary, has told Conservative MPs that the British Army could be starting work on building new accommodation to house up to 30,000 migrants on Ministry of Defence (MOD) property within a matter of weeks, the Daily Mail reports.
The construction of these camps is estimated to cost the British taxpayer in the tens of millions pounds, but government sources speaking to the Daily Mail insist it will be cheaper than the ongoing cost of housing illegal migrants in 4-star hotels. The total cost to the taxpayer of accommodating illegal migrants in Britain in the 2020-2021 recording period was £1.4 billion.
Over 28,000 migrants entered Britain in 2021 and over 940 illegals have been intercepted by UK authorities so far in January 2022.
Previously when the government attempted to house illegal migrants in an army barracks on MOD property, the migrants burnt the barracks down, due to complaints about alleged poor conditions, despite British soldiers previously staying at Napier Barracks without a problem. --->READ MORE HERE
Army will build camps to house 30,000 migrants... as it emerges MoD could stop releasing figures on how many are crossing the Channel each day:
The Army will start building camps to house up to 30,000 Channel migrants from next month, the Mail can reveal.
Plans are being drawn up for soldiers to construct temporary housing on Ministry of Defence land across the UK.
The project is likely to cost tens of millions of pounds. Home Secretary Priti Patel has privately told Tory MPs that work on the first phase is due to start within weeks.
Government sources insist the scheme will be cheaper than the current accommodation provided for migrants, which has seen thousands placed in three and four-star hotels on full board.
Ministers hope the move towards temporary hostel-style housing on military bases will also act as a deterrent to migrants planning to cross the Channel.
Meanwhile, it emerged last night that the Home Office could stop publishing daily figures on the number of Channel migrants when the MoD takes over operations to intercept them. --->READ MORE HERE
