Small boats: New law to stop illegal Channel crossings set out
By Michael Sheils McNameeBBC News
A New Law aimed at stopping illegal Channel crossings has been announced by the home secretary.
Suella Braverman told MPs the asylum system was overwhelmed and The Changes would " stop The Boats . . bringing tens of thousands to our shores".
Under The Law , those entering the UK via illegal routes will be removed and blocked from returning. There will also be a cap on the numbers granted asylum.
Labour called the legislation a " con that risks making The Chaos worse".
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: " We need serious action to stop dangerous boat crossings, which are putting lives At Risk and undermining border security. Instead, today's statement is Groundhog Day . "
More Than 45,000 people entered the UK via Channel crossings Last Year , up from around 300 in 2018.
The government believes stopping small Boats is a key issue for voters and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made it one of his Top Five priorities.
Speaking in The Commons , Ms Braverman said 100 million people around The World could qualify for protection under current UK laws - and " they are coming here".
She Said powers under the new Illegal Migration Bill included:
Ms Braverman said the New Law would radically narrow The Number of challenges currently being seen, by taking away The Right of illegal entrants to use modern slavery laws to prevent their removal.
She has previously said she believes laws on Human Trafficking have been abused by people seeking to stay in the UK, although.
The home secretary told MPs she could not " make a definitive statement of compatibility" about her legislation under the Human Rights Act.
But She Said the UK's approach was " robust and novel" adding: " I Am confident that this bill is compatible with International Law . "
The home secretary's statement to The House of Commons sets out the politics and the objectives - and is full of questions about whether it is legally water-tight.
For a start, the UK has an obligation to consider asylum claims - But how does it do that if it is denying people The Right to make that claim?
Secondly, there are strict rules around detaining people if they are not going to be imminently removed from the UK.
Given the UK has few returns agreements in place with safe third countries, it is not clear where all these people will be warehoused and whether that amounts to unlawful imprisonment.
Suella Braverman has told MPs that the legislation will not come with a formal confirmation that it complies with Human Rights Law - But she has not explained why.
The fact that Ms Braverman cannot provide it means that her own lawyers behind The Scenes are telling her that it could get pulled to pieces in the courts - and she is under a duty to alert MPs to that possibility.
Ms Braverman told The Commons many of The People arriving on small Boats came " from safe countries like Albania" and that " almost all passed through France".
She Said " the vast majority" were adult males under the Age Of 40, " rich enough to pay criminal gangs thousands of pounds for passage".
The asylum system costs The British tax payer £3bn a year, She Said , with £6m being spent each day to accommodate people in hotels.
She also noted the UK had given sanctuary to people seeking refuge from countries including Afghanistan and Ukraine.
But addressing MPs, the home secretary said illegal arrivals were " in flagrant breach of our laws and The Will of The British people".
" For a government not to respond to waves of illegal migrants breaching our borders, would be to betray The Will of The People we have been elected to serve.
" If you enter Britain illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed. Removed back to Your Country if it's safe, or back to a safe third Country like Rwanda.
" That is precisely what this bill will do, that is how we will stop The Boats . "
Ahead of The Announcement , the Prime Minister 's official spokesman said more safe and legal routes would be created once the small boat crossings had been stopped.
Asked if it would not make more sense to increase the routes first, He Said : " Certainly we don't think it is right to introduce those routes at a time when you don't have clarity on the numbers coming into the Country . "
