Based on the provided search results, the estimated costs of illegal migration to the UK per annum can be summarized as follows:

• Accommodation costs: £1.3 billion per year (Migration Watch UK, 2022) for housing asylum claimants in hotels, with a significant increase of over £1 billion since the government’s 2021 forecast.
• Asylum system costs: £3 billion per year and rising (GOV.UK, 2023), including £6 million per day on hotel accommodation, citing the current broken asylum system.
• Removal costs: £169,000 per individual (BBC News, 2023), according to an economic impact assessment of the Illegal Migration Bill.

These estimates suggest that the total cost of illegal migration to the UK per annum is likely to be in the range of £4.5 billion to £4.7 billion (£1.3 billion + £3 billion), considering the accommodation and asylum system costs. However, this figure does not account for potential additional expenses, such as healthcare, education, and welfare services.

Please note that these estimates may not be exhaustive, and actual costs might vary.
