Original Note:
NN - The ICAI states that the UK spent £4.3bn on asylum seekers and refugees in 2023. https://icai.independent.gov.uk/use-of-the-aid-budget-to-host-refugees-in-the-uk-rises-to-4-3bn/ This is less than tax avoidance, which cost 1.8bn. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/measuring-tax-gaps/7-tax-gaps-illustrative-tax-gap-by-behaviour As a migrant is merely someone who has moved from one country to another, all asylum seekers in the UK are by definition migrants. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/migrant
