The UK Refugee Council has called for a ban on naming hotels used to house migrants, citing safety concerns for the occupants. However, residents in towns like Standish and Kilkenny report increased harassment and criminality following the arrival of large groups of young male migrants. In Ireland, a town of 10,000 saw its population increase by 30% in months due to migrant placement, leading to widespread safety concerns among locals.

The British government is reportedly spending £7 million a day to house illegal migrants in four and five-star hotels, leading to the cancellation of local weddings and events. Watson highlights that many of these migrants are young men from Albania, a country not at war, who are receiving luxury accommodations at taxpayer expense. In Kilkenny, Ireland, residents report living in fear after migrants grew to represent one-fifth of the town's population in a matter of months.
