“If you take a boat to cross the Channel illegally, you will quickly be expelled!“This is the message that the British government intends to convey, which has just presented an anti-immigration bill. Last year, more than 45,000 refugees landed in the South of England, a record. The authorities are tightening the tone to put an end to illegal immigration.
We expel first, we discuss afterwards. The Minister of the Interior is carrying out this project with a very clear objective, to discourage those who embark from the beaches of Pas-de-Calais. And also no longer accommodate these illegal refugees while their legal remedies are being considered. Suella Braverman wants to send them back home or to a safe country with which agreements have been made.
“They are not welcome”
“The harsh reality is that you sell a lie to thousands of peopleshe pointed out. If they pay large sums of money to criminal organizations, they are promised a new life here. And they land here illegally. This is the wrong way to come to the UK and they are not welcome.”
The number of asylum seekers has now reached a record figure of 166,000. The government wants to discourage new arrivals, and quickly reduce this waiting list, which are all people housed by the United Kingdom.
The Minister of the Interior recognizes, however, that this new approach is “robust and new“. On compliance with international rules, she said to herself “confident”, but has no certainty. The Refugee Council, a humanitarian organization, says the new provisions prevent fair treatment and therefore violate the UN Convention on Human Rights.
