Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce expressed outrage over councils spending £141million of taxpayers' money on "extra initiatives" for asylum seekers since 2022.
Venting her frustration, Bev branded the country a "soft touch" and said the British public is "being taken for mugs."
Local authorities have provided asylum seekers with game consoles, yoga classes and DJ lessons paid for by the public purse, according to the Telegraph.
Speaking on GB News, Andrew said: "So they can go to football matches? A lot of people are watching this program today would probably love to go to a Premier League football match. They can't afford it."
Bev said: "You could say that it's an important ambition to keep people busy. So if you've got refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants - 'illegal aliens', as Donald Trump would call them - what do we do with them?
"We don't want them wandering around the streets taking pictures of primary school children."

Andrew said: "Teach them about the British way of life, about British history."
Bev the explained: "Do you know what, I would spend £141million on processing them right in the hotel.
"Sending qualified processors with their pieces of paper and their laptops to go and ask who are you? Where do you come from? Can you stay? That is all we need to spend the money on.
"Not £141million on PlayStation. We are the land of milk and honey. And we are the country of a soft touch.
"I understand that there will be individuals on those boats that have had a hideous life. There will be women and children who have escaped war zones. I get all of that.
"We need to somehow, as a country that has always been generous, welcome a proportion of people that need sanctuary."
She concluded: "We're being taken for absolute mugs."
The spending revelations come as more than 20,000 people have arrived in small boats since Labour scrapped the Rwanda deportation scheme.
Net migration reached 728,000 in 2024, following 2023's record-breaking influx of 906,000.
The Office of Budget Responsibility found low-skilled migrants remain a lifelong burden on public finances, taking out more than they contribute.
Migrants can receive £49.18 weekly support and accommodation while appealing decisions. William Yarwood from the TaxPayers' Alliance said "taxpayers will be furious that councils seem more interested in buying PlayStations for asylum seekers than fixing potholes".
"While Brits put up with crumbling roads and declining public services, they have every right to ask where their council's priorities really lie," he added.
"Town hall bosses need to get their act together," Yarwood concluded.
