Tories to get tough on migrants at last
PRIME Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed to put an end to the migrant crisis with tough new measures to be unveiled this week.
He said he will not flinch from doing what is necessary to halt the tide of people crossing the Channel on small boats, declaring: “Make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.”
Mr Sunak believes he has found the answer to a problem which has dogged the Government for the past four years after weeks of work carried out in relative secrecy by senior aides in the Home Office and No 10. The group has drawn up new laws to slam a “brake” on any abuse of human rights laws that allows illegal migrants to escape deportation from the United Kingdom. It is hoped it will stop activist lawyers using the right to family life and legislation created to combat modern slavery to stop their clients being kicked out.
The PM said yesterday: “I have made the issue of illegal migration one of my top five priorities – pledging to stop the boats once and for all.
“Illegal migration is not fair on British taxpayers, it is not fair on those who come here legally and it is not right that criminal gangs should be allowed to continue their immoral trade.
“I’m determined to deliver on my promise to stop the boats.
“So make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.”
High stakes are riding on the success of the crackdown, with aides warning that failure would damage Tory chances at the next general election.
