In the United Kingdom, illegal immigrants awaiting deportation receive a variety of services funded by public funds. According to the latest information, these people are receiving free art, IT, and English language lessons. In addition, they will have access to gyms and libraries, as well as the opportunity to buy fresh produce. All of these programs are part of an eight-year, £260 million contract with Serco, a company that operates the Brook House and Tinsley House transition centers near Gatwick Airport.

Under the treaty, a significant part of the funds from taxes paid by British citizens will go to illegal immigrants. According to many experts and political analysts, this practice shows a worrying trend, as many believe that the British government is not doing enough to protect the interests of the local population and those who are legally residing in the country. The programmes are designed to help convicted offenders in their return to their home countries, but opinions differ on the costs and how they will be financed. Among those waiting for deportation are people who receive pre-loaded bank cards that can amount to up to £2000. With this, they are supposed to try to help the convicts when they return to their home countries. After the information became public, many people questioned the government’s policy. Different political opinions clash on the topic, as some emphasize the reduction of the level of support, while others consider a humane approach important. Many taxpayers feel that supporting British citizens rather than illegal immigrants would be the right thing to do. The use of invested resources and their effectiveness are not justified by many, especially as more and more British citizens are trying to make a living on their own. For the United Kingdom, the management of immigration is of paramount importance. Based on the experience of recent years, many people expect the government to take stricter measures to curb immigration. In political discourse, the protection of borders and the promotion of legal immigration are also often discussed. Data collection and statistical analyses show that reducing immigration could help local workers in many ways and improve the functioning of the social care system.

As is usual in such situations, future actions and policy decisions in the coming years will be crucial to how British society responds to the immigration situation. The government’s task is to find a balance between a humane approach and the protection of the interests of local communities, thus ensuring the maintenance of economic and social stability in the country.
