Great Britain finances Albania with millions of pounds just to stop immigrants

 Great Britain is building a new strategy to stop the wave of Albanian immigrants towards the island nation.

Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money will be sent to Albania to help persuade migrants to stay in the country and not attempt to cross to Britain on dinghies.

The Telegraph reports that Britain is funding major infrastructure schemes to create thousands of local jobs and improve local facilities in areas where young Albanians have left.

They include a massive new hydroelectric dam, industrial parks, environmental schemes and recreational facilities in northern Albania, which already has strong ties to the UK in the wake of the first mass exodus after the Kosovo war.

The move comes as Home Secretary Soyla Braverman and Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick seek to close a new "fast track" route to deport thousands of Albanians who have traveled to the UK in the past 10 months.

This week, Border Force Secret Channel Threat Commander Dan O'Mahony revealed that 12,000 Albanians have arrived in the UK this year, including 10,000 men. He told MPs that up to 2% of the adult male population in Albania had traveled to Great Britain in small boats. He attributed the "accelerated rise" to "gaining a foothold" of Albanian criminal gangs in northern France.

Officials in Albania stress that there is no direct link between the migrant deals and foreign aid, but that it has been accepted as vital financial support to stop the mass migration of Albanian youth.

Last year, Priti Patel, then the interior minister, signed an agreement with Albania for the return of deported foreign criminals. Earlier this month, the Home Office tried to trace 12 migrants from the channel. It is now looking to extend the deal to thousands more who have arrived in the UK in small boats.

Jenrick said: “We are looking into whether there is a dedicated pathway for Albanians to have their cases heard quickly and to remove them from the country if unsuccessful. We are also looking diplomatically at how to work with the government in Albania and in alliance with like-minded countries, such as France, to reach an agreement with Albania.

The UK government is funding multi-million dollar projects to fight organized crime gangs that have been blamed for fueling the wave of Albanian migrants - some of whom end up working on UK cannabis plantations as well as the drug trade. cocaine.

Last month, the Home Office agreed to inject up to £4 million to modernize Albania's forensic laboratory to increase its forensic capacity.

The Home Office has also allocated £2 million to rebuild the police station at Mother Teresa Airport in Tirana, which receives foreign criminals and suspects deported from the UK.

After being fingerprinted, they face a travel ban of up to three years from the European Schengen area.
