THE conservative government of the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will present tomorrow Tuesday news bill to tackle irregular immigrationwhich will mainly aim to prevent those arriving in the country via the English Channel from seeking asylum in Britain, several newspapers reported.

Despite Brexit promises to “take back control” of the border, Britain is facing a significant increase in irregular migrant arrivals. A record number of more than 45,000 people they arrived in the country across the Channel last year, increasing the pressure on Sunak.

The bill, expected for weeks, includes measures to make it easier to detain and deport “as early as possible” asylum seekers who arrive in Britain irregularly, newspapers reported today Times and Daily Mail.

The British government intends to send them to Rwanda, under a law that has already been passed but has not been implemented due to legal challenges, or to another country deemed safe. In addition, those who arrive in the country illegally will be banned for life from returning to the UK.

According to the Times, London is also considering developing new “legal and safe” routes for asylum seekers, although it did not elaborate.

“Our measures will be simple in principle and implementation: the only way forward for Britain will be a safe and legal oneBritish minister Suella Braverman, who maintains a hard line on immigration, told The Sun newspaper yesterday Sunday.

When asked about this by Sky News yesterday, Northern Ireland Minister Chris Heaton-Harris replied that Britain intends to work with France and other European countries to ensure that asylum seekers “remain in the first safe country which they reach”.

Sunak is expected in Paris on Friday for a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

“Stop the ‘boatloads’ of irregular migrants is one of the five priorities set by the British Prime Minister for the next general election, which will be held in less than two years..”
