Last year, former Home Secretary Stella Braverman, who had a handle on the truth about what was going on in Britain, sent this message: “If you enter Britain illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed.” Braverman was eventually fired by her government for “offensive” statements she made about the “political bias” of pro-Hamas protesters in London.
The UK has given up on any real efforts to end unvetted, illegal migration, and instead has opted simply to try to project the impression that something is being done to control the illegal invasion through the English Channel.
Less than a week and a half ago, illegal migrant crossings via the Channel hit the highest level this year, so the Sunak government came up with yet another outrageous plan: it revived the Boris Johnson-era proposal of throwing even more taxpayer money at the problem by paying illegals to move to Rwanda.
The economic migrants are being treated by Britain as if Britain had wronged them:
It will use the existing voluntary returns system and schemes that offer up to £3,000 in assistance for failed asylum seekers to return to their country of origin,
But how is Sunak planning to ensure that the economic migrants won’t end up making their way back into Britain even after being paid to leave?
Last month, the UK government pledged money to TikTok influencers to discourage illegals from coming into the country via English Channel.
Britain’s immigration problem is grave. The Home Office has already lost track of 17,000 asylum seekers.
The UK government has abandoned all policies of responsible immigration, and in doing so, has sacrificed its national security and imperiled its own sovereignty.
“Tens of thousands of migrants with failed asylum applications will ‘be offered up to £3,000 to move to Rwanda,’” by Alesia Fiddler, Daily Mail, March 12, 2024:
Tens of thousands of migrants with failed asylum applications will be offered money to voluntarily move to Rwanda under new legislation proposed by the government.
A new agreement made between the UK and Rwandan government means that migrants could choose to be sent to Rwanda when they have no legal right to remain in the UK but cannot return to their home country.
Tens of thousands of people in the UK have had their asylum application rejected and the arrangement would be open to them meaning thousands of migrants could be removed…

Whatever the cost, it will be far cheaper to send them packing than to leave them in the country.
Troybeam says
They will not leave, why should they as they are catered to with housing and everything else especially when the government stands with them and not the citizens of nation.
OLD GUY says
Sounds just like the Biden migration invasion plan for America. The citizens will pick up the tab for all who wish to come and live here. If you’re not happy our citizens will pay for your trip to return home first class. Whats to lose by coming, free paid vacation no I.D. required, free air travel to the destination of your choice and hotel accommodations provide by our veterans and citizens living on the streets.
John Allan says
Well, the politicians STILL need to be (re)elected!
The illegals are going to be of ZERO use to them, come GE day.
If Reform’s voter-base increases – as it VERY PROBABLY WILL – it’ll be down, as much as anything, to the government’s ATROCIOUS MIShandling, of what the electorate sees as a major – but ADDRESSABLE – issue!
England Invaded says
Just another phase of the Rwanda distraction.
None will take that option when everything is given to them here.
Send the illegals back immediately, stop the thousands per day landing at airports.
Politicians with spines are need though.

Here’s the solution. Give them airfare to the USA and have them declare asylum upon landing. Currently a five year wait until a judge can hear their plea. Two and a half million “asylum seekers” entered the USA in 2023 this way. Border Patrol even sets up mobile Immigration processing at holes in the border wall to issue asylum visas on the spot.
David says
This incompetence is planned. Offering people bribes to leave is just a further inducement to come in the first place. It’s another delaying tactic giving time to swamp the country with migrants, and then play different groups off against each other; an internal divide and rule tactic used by Empires throughout history.

Good policy. Now try something similar for the Palestinians. Jews and Palestinians living together in Israel is a volatile situation. And the large loss of life among Palestinians will make them want revenge for the next 500 years ensuring war to continue forever. They have to be separated and as Israel is G-D’s heritage to Jews, and the Palestinians are already the majority in Jordan, a resettlement for them in another place is proper.
Kfira says
Rick, you are absolutely correct in that this will never end. Muslims can’t live with each other much less with Jews. The enmity is fed to them through the Quran from infancy. They press to love death more than we love life. This will never be reconciled.
Transmaster says
This is sort of funny. The Australians are doing the same thing starting with Vietnamese boat people. They were sent to the Pacific island of Nauru starting in 2001. Nauru is the island the basically strip mined its way to oblivion. The money received for running the Nauru Regional Processing Centre is a vital source of hard currency for this destroyed country.

Christine,
It’s Suella!

The only solution to solve the UK illegal migration problem is for the Royal Navy to intercept the boats in the English Channel, then by force turn them back and dump them on French shores (note that France is a first world country), then burn their boats at sea. This is the Australian solution. It works really well! Unless you turn all the boats back at sea you have no solution.
