UK authorities are considering using GPS wristbands to track the movement of illegal immigrants in the kingdom. This was reported by The Times on August 28, citing sources.
The British authorities assume that the electronic surveillance of illegal immigrants will reduce the cost of their maintenance in accommodation centers, as well as the processing time of their asylum applications.
According to the publication, more than 175,000 people are waiting for a response to their asylum applications in the United Kingdom. At the same time, while the authorities consider the case of a migrant, he must remain in special migration centers. However, there are not enough places for all applicants in such centers in the UK.
According to the publication, the cost of retaining illegal immigrants for British taxpayers is about 5,000 million dollars a year.
