Reform UK’s Lee Anderson has criticised Labour’s failure to prevent small boat crossings as a “national crisis”, as the Prime Minister hosts a meeting in London to crack down on people smugglers.
Leaders from 40 countries are attending the PM’s meeting at Lancaster House in central London today and tomorrow as they attempt to address the international situation.
Sir Keir told attendees: “There has never been a bigger gathering of people on this issue, building a truly international effort to defeat organised immigration crime.” However, Reform UK’s chief whip condemned the Prime Minister and confirmed his party’s policy to deport anyone living in Britain illegally. He fumed: “Labour’s failure to control illegal migration is not just an issue of border security—it is a national crisis.”
“As the numbers show, we are not receiving the best and brightest in terms of illegal migrants.
“No country has benefited from this level of unbridled immigration. It has placed a massive strain on our public services, our safety, and the pockets of our hardworking taxpayers.
“Reform UK will freeze all non-essential immigration, deport foreign criminals, and deport anyone who has illegally entered the country.”
This morning Sir Keir argued that his government has deported 24,000 migrants since coming to office last July.
But rather than being coerced, the great majority of these moves were voluntary.
Amid mounting unease over the Government’s strategy to end the Channel crisis, the Prime Minister said he was introducing “tough” measures to deter crossings.
He pointed to a 21 percent increase in executed returns and a 16 percent growth in foreign national offenders being removed from the UK since July 5.
However, Reform has pointed out that over 30,000 small boat crossings have taken place during the same period, with more than 5,000 in the last three months alone.
The number of crossings during this period is a record high.
The cost of housing asylum seekers in 400 hotels up and down the country is now running at £14 billion a year, with £3,000 a day being spent on new clothes and shoes.
Sir Keir said: “Immigration crime funds the vile people-smuggling gangs that trade in human misery, breach our borders and threaten Britain’s economic security.
“This government is taking back control, doing the hard graft needed to deliver results, working with our international allies to smash these gangs and secure our borders.
“We’ve already removed more than 24,000 people with no right to be here and we’re finally shutting down exploitative illegal working, dismantling criminal networks, while forcing people-smuggling gangs out of business.
“For too long, the UK was a soft touch. That ends now. No more gimmicks, no empty promises, just serious action for British security.”
None of them should be allowed asylum – they have all entered the UK illegally. If they were genuine they would have had documents. It’s called the Labour Party, not the Pity Party, and we need to stop this madness.
Illegal Immigration is one of the major problems in the UK but that only scrapes the surface and it appears Labour and certainly other parties still are not joining all the dots.
Although the amount of illegal immigrants is a significant concern, the real issue is the sheer volume of both legal and illegal immigrants and how they are changing our way of life.
With the help of our politicians, we are being invaded via our borders, and our government is forcing the Indigenous people to be second and third-class citizens.
The money spent on immigration may spare handicapped people from brutal cutbacks to subsidies they depend on to live.
Why do handicapped people receive the barest minimum of benefits while migrants receive so many costly perks? It’s not equal.
The cosy hotel lifestyle would be the first step if Starmer was truly going to take action. Smashing the gangs is a gimmick!
