The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, vowed today that he would not allow illegal immigration into the country. The prime minister declared in parliament that the public had a 'right to be angry' and that the boats should be banned, insisting that justice was the guiding principle.
Sunak warned that “if we don't act now and decisively, this will only get worse. Sunak said he wants to tackle the root of the problem by raising the threshold for people who are covered by the 'modern slavery' rules.
It will be assumed that the Albanians can return to their safe country, as 55 percent of them are currently being allowed to stay in Great Britain. The British Prime Minister declared that anyone who comes to Great Britain illegally will be banned from staying here. Parliament will be asked to set quotas on how many can be accepted for humanitarian purposes.
The new agreement with Albania stipulates the return of asylum seekers to the "safe" country, including the officers of the Border Force (Home Office) who are stationed at the airport of Tirana, Rinas. Sunak concluded with; "Enough is enough".
Great Britain's five-point plan to stop Albanian immigrants:
1. A new, unified, small boat operational command to prevent the flow of migrants crossing the Channel.
2. Additional resources will be created to increase the number of raids conducted by immigration officers.
3. New sites, including disused holiday parks, former student halls and redundant military facilities, will be used to house asylum seekers – with 10,000 spaces identified costing half what is being spent now.
4. The number of asylum caseworkers will be doubled and the system re-engineered to cut the amount of time it takes to process claims – with a promise to clear the backlog by the end of next year
5. A new agreement with Albania, including Border Force officers at Tirana Airport, new guidance stating that Albania is a safe country, an increase in the threshold that someone must meet to qualify as a victim of modern slavery, a guarantee from Albania that they will protect real people at risk and a new unit dedicated to the processing of Albanians - with more than 400 specialists - will be set up.
