Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Amid Johnson’s indifference, Home Secretary vows to reform Britain’s ‘fundamentally broken’ asylum system

Oct 8, 2020 8:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 22 Comments

Breitbart noted in another report that “the Human Rights Act has also been abused by convicted Islamist terrorists to avoid deportation, some of whom have used legal aid to fight their removal.” It was also just revealed that Britain is flying asylum seekers directly into the country from Greece under the rubric of “family reunification,” while record numbers of illegal immigrants continue to arrive in the UK in boats. Migrants who come into the UK via the English Channel are mostly from the Islamic world, including Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran.

Also, last year, a stunning report emerged that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had “ditched a decade-long commitment to bring immigration down to manageable levels and is talking up an amnesty for illegal migrants.” His plan was described as akin to “Angela Merkel throwing the doors of Europe open in that mad summer of 2015.” Johnson’s bizarre U-turn prompted Migration Watch to launch a petition against Johnson’s illegal migrant amnesty proposal. His shift also lead Brexit Party MEP Alexandra Philips to issue a warning about him.

Priti Patel has also been a strong proponent of publicly reviewing the ethnicity of grooming gangs, who are overwhelmingly Pakistani, while the media persistently refers to them as “Asians.” In the face of her many efforts to confront the threats from illegal Muslim migrants, she has been given a continuous run-around. Patel has also been outspoken about the illegal influx of Muslim migrants via the English Channel. Now here she is again making efforts, this time vowing to fix the “fundamentally broken” asylum system. If the past is any indicator, Patel will continue to be given the run-around and nothing will be done, especially without support from Boris Johnson.

“Patel Criticises Illegals ‘Shopping Around’ for Asylum, Vows Firm System,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, October 5, 2020:

Home Secretary Priti Patel has vowed to reform the UK’s “fundamentally broken” asylum system, including refusing asylum to migrants who arrive in the UK illegally.

The Home Secretary promised “the biggest overhaul of our asylum system in decades” at Conservative Party conference on Sunday. She said a major problem of the current system is that it does not differentiate between asylum seekers who go through the proper channels to apply for refugee status and others such as criminal migrants trying to game the asylum system by filing “repeated legal challenges to stop their deportation, followed by numerous meritless asylum claims so they could stay in our country”.

She also singled out illegal aliens who cross the English Channel by boat, after “travelling through multiple safe EU countries, France, Italy, Spain, shopping around for where they can claim asylum, making that final and extremely dangerous Channel crossing to the United Kingdom while lining the pockets of despicable international criminal gangs”.

“Our broken system is enabling this international criminal trade,” which she said was disadvantaging those with legitimate claims.

From next year, Ms Patel said: “I will introduce a new system that is firm and fair. Fair and compassionate towards those that need our help, fair by welcoming people through safe and legal routes, but firm, because we will stop the abuse of the system. Firm because we stop those who come here illegally from making endless legal claims to remain in our country at the expense of the British public. And firm because we will expedite the removal of those who have no legitimate claim for protection.”

While she said that changes would not be immediate, she said that in the meantime, her department would “accelerate our operational response to illegal migration. We will continue to hunt down the criminal gangs who traffic people into our country. I will continue to use the full force of our national crime agency and intelligence agency to go after them.”

Earlier on Sunday, The Times reported details on the new plans, which includes the notable policy that claimants who land in boats after crossing the English Channel or arrive by other illegal means will be denied asylum, with courts being told to send them back to the last safe European country they were in. Rejected asylum seekers will also be barred from making repeated baseless claims.

Migration Watch UK welcomed the proposed revamp of the country’s asylum system. The think tank’s chairman Alp Mehmet said in a press release seen by Breitbart London: “This is a courageous attempt by the Home Secretary to reform an asylum system that has been abused for too long. It deserves the support of other government departments and Parliament.”

In an interview with The Times on Sunday, the home secretary said: “Our asylum system is effectively allowing international criminality to abuse our system and — shockingly — to elbow the most vulnerable people who need help and support to the side.”

In an interview with The Times on Sunday, the home secretary said: “Our asylum system is effectively allowing international criminality to abuse our system and — shockingly — to elbow the most vulnerable people who need help and support to the side.”
“That is morally indefensible. It is a system that is broken beyond belief,” she added.

Ms Patel also said that the Home Office would “create new safe and legal routes for those people that are fleeing persecution and oppression”, working with the United Nations and refugee groups to identify these people in migrant camps in the Middle East.

She stated that in terms of resettlement schemes, Britain had taken in more Syrians “than any other EU country”.

She also criticised “well-known legal firms” which have abused the current asylum system and profited “by using judicial review, immigration review and immigration bail. We could be in the process of trying to remove someone on a particular day, and they put another appeal in. We see people using human rights, modern-day slavery, as reasons why they cannot be removed……

    As before, “Amnesty” is a fancy word for disguising Dereliction of Duty.
    It is cowardly and dishonest.

    In Priti Patel, the UK finally has a politician in power who ‘gets it’.

    Britons should organize and hold Boris Johnson to his promise.

      Yes, she`s not woke but wide-awake. To top that she also fits the BLM criteria of being non-white with an immigrant background and her religion is also neutral ( in Britain anyway ).

      She has also proven in parliament that she has courage — how does that compare to Bumble- Boris?

      Neither has she been bought out by the Arabs — this is no Theresa May.

    Nothing will be done to stop or limit the number of migrants invading Britain. Whatever Patel tries to do will be halted by Boris Johnson. There is an agreement between the British government and Saudi Arabia that migrants will not be stopped. It’s called the Barcelona Agreement. Speaking of Boris Johnson I remember an edition of HIGNFY on BBC TV a few years ago when he tied to be funny but came across as a total idiot. Maybe he would like to do something but is scared of the social results of any action: riots and unrest. The child rapes in Rotherham and many other areas have shocked the public yet Boris Johnson will not release the report. The police have ‘taken the knee’ before many moslems. That is the result of fear not respect. Covid has made the whole situation worse. The lock-downs are ruining British industry and commercial trade.

    The answer is very simple.
    Don’t let ANY moslems in, under any circumstances, and if they are found in our waters, tow them far out to sea.

        In 1940, Britain repelled the invaders with machine-guns, and dropped bombs on the invaders boats.

        Fast-forward 80 years, and the invaders are escorted across the Channel by British government vessels, or air-lifted from Greece so as not inconvenience their invasion, all organized by BoJo the Clown, who claims to be an admirer of Winston Churchill!

        The Conservative Party won the Brexit election on a promise to regain control of Britain’s frontiers, but having won the election, they threw the borders open to the invaders! The Conservative government are Quislings, and like Quisling, should face the Firing Squad.

          I agree!!! And that’s still the way I’d do it, with a few modifications, as we have much more efficient tech now.
          All levels of government in this country now are nothing more than an obscenity that should be shovelled up and disposed of.
          Their depravity has made an absolute mockery of the sacrifices of brave men and women who fought in two world wars to defend this country and its people, people whose lives were worth a damn sight more than these quisling traitors.
          Churchill knew about islam, and he knew about ‘wokesters’ too. He would be devastated to see what has become of us.

    There are American citizens or ones who lived outside the U.S. for many years, working with Islamic centers to bring in muslim familys into the states that are doing so very quietly. It would be interesting to know how fast they will show up at social security centers and motor vehicle depts. and get registered or handed a license and and a ballot. I spoke to one, over a year ago who has have aided two families from our conversation, but I forgot to ask how big a family. The rescuers of muslims out of Syria who were again” not “non- muslims and left behind those actually targeted who were the targets in the war….the work to change our country to sharia law is cesaseless and funded and without regard for the potential destruction of our country. Yes they come on planes. This all sounds so humanitarian untill you read the doctrine then it appears subversive and or a threat. What happened to Boris that changed his direction to first save Britian will now sink the future that had been silenced their population and lied about the dangerous details. So much for a unarmed police force and population.

    If Moslem-majority countries are so much better than the western world like their Moslem residents claim then WHY do they continue to come here??

    Look at ilhan Omar.

    She has never wasted a second in publicly stating that Somalia, her home country, is superior to the USA. WHY is she here in the USA??

    The Muslim jihad violence and crime in England and terrible number of sex assaults and outright rapes against the British girls and women in the United Kingdom has been strongly linked to the large number of male Muslim migrants entering the UK. This may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter France to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.

    In addition, this may be disturbing enough, but the mass construction of still others mosques in England have a meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”

    I hope Priti Patel is serious. Of course, Boris Johnson himself vowed the same thing in the past.

    She talks about it a lot and to be fair to her, she has given prominence to some issues which otherwise are completely hidden from public view. She’s also suffered a fair amount of racist abuse from the Muslim community and their liberal supporters in the UK (she’s Hindu). BUT nothing seems to actually be achieved.

    I agree that Johnson has either completely given up on immigration or was never serious about controlling it in the first place (and I think he was never serious about it – he was just paying lip service to the majority of voters who want it controlled). Maybe she has a very hard time getting these policies agreed in the current cabinet/government. If so then let’s have Priti for PM and get rid of the useless Boris Johnson.
