Number of asylum seekers in hotels has dropped from the 54000 peak in 2023 to around 32000.
Not a lot of good news stories around at the moment so nice to have a positive. |  | | |  |

Laws can be changed and quickly
It is criminal to alllw our country and our kids future to be compromised by not having the guts to secure our borders | |

What would Maggie do if in the hot seat at No10 now , big questions on her approach.
Yvette Cooper looks like the ultimate fish out of water act as Home Secertary yet again .
All waffle and spin with no real solutions to the illegals arriving chucking even more money over The Channel to France .
Thanks UK taxpayers , appreciate it . [Post edited 6 Aug 1:14]

Can't. At the moment.
We'd need political will on several sides, or we'd have to resort to physical means the latter could see huge international implications, potentially at a criminal level. |
Interestingly I've found that international reactions are often quite different from what the liberal left suggests they might be. A couple of years ago in China, academics I talked with said they could not understand our tolerance for law breaking by migrants. I've just got back from SE Asia and this topic came up at a dinner attended by academics from several disciplines There was incredulity about how persons entering the UK illegally were accommodated in hotels, given spending money and even had their legal appeal expenses paid so they could resist deportation. The Dean of a Veterinary Science faculty who has a London PhD told me she had long had an ambition to work in the UK, and added with a wry smile that entry is possible for an unskilled migrant off a small boat but not for her. There was particular interest in the media stories they had read about cases where British judges had allowed people to stay when their records suggested they were criminal or dangerous. Could this really be true, they asked. I think Lord Hermer and his ilk only tell us what others who share their views would want to hear about dire international reactions to a tougher UK stance. Much of the US, Asia and the Middle East see things differently | | | |

I can imagine the Chinese dealing with things quite differently. I very much doubt the British public would tolerate the human rights situation they're own citizens are subject to (I have a sister in law from Tianjin). There's a very good reason we get a significant influx of Refugees from Hong Kong.
We're not dealing with the rest of the world this is a European problem, I can't imagine Trump accepting Mexican asylum seekers back from Canada because they arrived there from the States, that's what we expect mainland Europe to do | | | |

What comes across from your comment is that this is very much a Western European perspective, and it is leading our region down a path that is proving very damaging. Elsewhere in the world (and not just China) people look on with bemusement. | | | |

It's a western European problem. And we look at much of the rest of the world in bemusement too, for various reasons. | | | |

So you do not see large-scale economic migration as a global problem? | | | |
