UK government introduces and defends law barring illegal migrants entering via English Channel

Published

The British government is finally introducing new legislation to ban illegal migrants from flooding into the U.K. via the English Channel. But globalists, including the United Nations, are already condemning the legislation, calling it “illegal.” They are, of course, making no reference to the illegality of the invasion of Britain by vast numbers of economic migrants.

The British government appears to be ready to defend the new law. Its accountability first is to its citizens. In the face of globalists who are in the process of trying to dismantle Western Judeo-Christian free societies, how much is the public willing to take?

Meanwhile, Britain faces another complication: it is paying exorbitant amounts of money to France for these migrants. Jihad Watch reported previously about a bizarre arrangement that has seen the UK fork over tens of millions of taxpayer money to France, “adding to hundreds of millions” more, since 2015. One would think it should be the other way around, especially when French warships were caught red-handed in 2021 escorting illegal economic migrants to Britain. But now, France is demanding even more money. Then there is all the money that the cash-strapped UK is spending — said to be over $8.5 million USD per day — on hotels for illegal migrants. All while military families have no heat or hot water, and homelessness is up 25%.

“UK government defends law barring ‘illegal’ English channel migrants,” Euronews, March 8, 2023:

The UK government said on Tuesday it was ready for legal challenges against a new law intended to stop migrants from reaching the country in small boats across the English Channel.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman claimed the government had “pushed the boundaries of international law” with its bill barring asylum claims by anyone who reaches the UK by unauthorised means.

But the UN refugee agency is ‘profoundly concerned’ by UK’s illegal migration bill, saying it amounts to an asylum ban.

The controversial plans could mean the government detained asylum seekers entering the country across illegal routes and then deporting them “to their home country or a safe third country.”

Critics have blasted the plans as unworkable, inhumane, and not legally feasible, pointing out they could only succeed if the UK withdrew from several international treaties.

They also claimed there is a lack of safe and legal routes, which forces asylum seekers to cross the channel in this way.

“If you enter Britain illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed,” Braverman told lawmakers in the House of Commons on Tuesday, as she introduced the government’s “Illegal Migration Bill.”

The UK government says the new law, once approved by Parliament, will deter migrants and hamstring smuggling gangs who send desperate people on hazardous journeys across the busy waterway.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the law will “take back control” of UK borders — a central pledge of the successful but divisive campaign to take Britain out of the European Union.

Braverman said those arriving by boat would be detained for up to 28 days and then deported, with exceptions only for children.
