As the government struggles to manage a rush of people arriving in small boats on its southern coast, the UK announced on Tuesday that it plans to introduce new legislation to make it illegal for migrants to stay in the nation after crossing the English Channel.
According to UK government statistics, Albanians make up the majority of those who travel this way and have more than doubled the number of persons coming in England over the last two years.
Sunak predicted that thousands of Albanians would come home during the upcoming months.
“Right To Be Furious”
In a 2016 referendum, worries about immigration were a major factor in the vote for Brexit, with supporters demanding that Britain “take back control” of its borders.
To seek to end the control of criminal organisations that profit from the suffering of others is neither harsh nor unkind, he said. “I’ve had enough.”
The majority of Conservative lawmakers in parliament, who worry that they will lose the next election if the administration is unable to find a solution to the problem, enthusiastically embraced the statement.
In order to make it simpler to develop new policies if the government’s most recent approach failed to stop the crossings, some Conservative lawmakers, including the former minister Simon Clarke, wanted the government to consider going further and leaving the European Convention on Human Rights next year.
While some NGOs claimed the issue would persist until the government permitted asylum claims outside of Britain, opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer claimed the last time the government changed the immigration system, they made it worse.
To discourage people from entering in small boats, the British government earlier this year revealed intentions to deport migrants to Rwanda in addition to other initiatives.
