I don't think this situation will ever change. The cycle will just continue until some very radical remedy is implemented which no doubt will have Human Rights lawyers swelling their coffers.
They are illegal immigrants, they have broken the law. Their "punishment"? Live in a hotel (often 4 & 5*), all food found and weekly pocket money. When the numbers get too high just give them residency to get them out of the way to make way for the next lot.
Once signed in then they can arrange for their close relatives to join them.
I don't know what the answer is but something is wrong when they travel through several "safe" countries to file refugee status in the UK.
I fear for the country we are leaving our grand-children.
Just to point out if meals are being provided their total entitlement is £9.95 a week which hardly seems like enough to live a life of luxury. If meals aren't provided they get £49.18. Obviously people awaiting their asylum application being processed are not allowed to work, another reason we should be concentrating on getting the system running efficiently.
Not sure there's many 4 or 5 star hotels being used. They seem more run down budget hotels that can't get regular customers. The owners have seen an opportunity to get the government to pay for pretty much full occupancy and also cover the cost of a hotel refurb when the contract ends. Look at the reviews of the HIll in Allesley, hardly sounds 5 star luxury.
The situation can change but it needs more than politician's with performative nonsense to get anything done. We can see in the stats that changes we've made, both in policy and with things like brexit, have been disastrous. Things can be improved but nobody seems to want to have a grown up discussion. Just look at this thread!
The world currently has huge numbers of people being displaced due to conflict and we're not too far off even bigger numbers being displaced due to climate change. We need to work out, both us as a country and the wider world, how we are going to deal with the situation.
