It intends to deport illegals in a matter of weeks to their countries or to Rwanda and ban them from entering the UK for life
The Government of Rishi Sunak presented yesterday in the Parliament of the United Kingdom a radical and controversial law proposal with which it intends to eradicate illegal immigration that enters uncontrollably across the border with France through the English Channel in boats. According to this law, the Ministry of the Interior will have the duty to deport the undocumented who enter the country in a matter of weeks either to their countries of origin or to Rwandathe African country with which he has a bilateral agreement for the sending of asylum seekers, although their destination remains temporarily paralyzed in the courts. In addition, those who are expelled will never be able to enter the country again, just like in Australia or the US.
The bill was presented in the chamber by the Minister of the Interior, Suella Bravermanformer attorney general of the Government and representative of the wing more brexitera and ultraconservative of the Conservative Party. Braverman explained that the goal is to send a clear message to all those people who are thinking of entering the country undocumented that it is not worth it and thus put an end to the mafias that traffic people. last year they entered 45,000 immigrants without papers by sea from France, for the 800 who entered before the Brexit. The underlying reason is the legal vacuum caused by Brexit when the bilateral agreement with the European Union (EU).
This vacuum was taken advantage of by the mafias to put people clandestinely in the country. There are Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis, Eritreans, but the third part they are albanian The new law also includes the revision of the modern slavery law which the majority of Albanians choose to stay in the country. Braverman said these laws are outdated. The debate in Parliament was tense, with constant booing coming from the labor caucus. Perhaps one of the most difficult moments was when Braverman admitted, when asked by his Labor namesake Yvette Cooper, that this law was going beyond of international human rights conventions. Although he did not address all the intricacies that the law entails yesterday.
“Government Trick”
“Some of the best and brightest legal minds in the nation have been, and continue to be, involved in its development,” Braverman said, without elaborating. Cooper, for his part, defined the project as “a government trick & rdquor ;. Braverman assured that the current legislation “it does not work”. “And whose fault is it? They shouted from the Labor bench, reminding him that the Conservatives have 13 years in the Government doing and undoing. Then Cooper accused the government of worsening the “deeply damaging chaos” that reigns on the border of the Canal, by not addressing the problem of the smuggling mafias and limit family reunion visas. And he reminded her that the drastic measures of recent years initiated by Johnson have not helped.
In December, Sunak announced a cooperation agreement with France and with Albania. This Friday a meeting with the French president, Emmanuel Macronto deepen this cooperation, focused on the surveillance. Macron does not allow the deportation of immigrants to France. For it, demands a new and comprehensive agreement with the EU. The debate on the law in Parliament (where the Conservatives have a majority) will last for months before it is approved. And when it is approved, according to Sunak, the legislation will be applied retrospectively for those who reached English shores yesterday.
