The British Prime Minister presents the plan for immigrants: We decide who comes
Rishi Sunak

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted on Tuesday that the UK would "take back control" of its borders under his leadership, as he vowed to stop the flow of small boats carrying migrants across the Channel.

He unveiled a new law tonight designed to deter thousands of people who make the perilous journey each year.

The landmark Illegal Immigration Bill will bar newcomers from staying and applying as refugees of modern slavery or human rights. They will also not be allowed to do court hearings or receive bail for at least 28 days.

Only children and the seriously ill will be allowed to stay in Britain until the cases are reviewed, write British media.

Speaking to the media in Downing Street tonight under the slogan "stop the boats", Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attacked migrants from "safe" countries such as Albania, for paying thousands of pounds to people smugglers to travel illegally.

"I understand that there will be debate about the severity of these measures. The only thing I can say is that we have tried every other way and it has not worked," said the British Prime Minister.

"It is this country and your government that should decide who will come here, not the criminal gangs", he added, while asked about the possibility of legal challenges from human rights lawyers he said: "I am ready for the fight ".

The new bill will also give Parliament the power to set an annual cap on the number of refugees admitted into the country – with local authorities to be consulted on how many they can take.

Home Office figures released last week showed that the number of asylum seekers awaiting a decision on their claim in the UK has reached 160,000, with almost 75,000 applications made last year alone - the highest level in 20 years.

Albanians were the highest nationality to apply for asylum in the UK last year, with 14,223 applicants from the Balkan state - 9,573 of whom came from people who arrived by boat after crossing the Channel.

A total of 160,919 asylum seekers were awaiting an initial decision on their claim at the end of December. This was up 60 per cent from 100,564 for the same period in 2021 and the highest figure since current records began in 2010.
