The UK is one of the most popular destinations for migrants. The current legislation is right up mass migration’s street and the UK has problems even with the deportations of criminals and terrorists. The British Home Secretary promises a thorough reform of the “broken” system.
The UK is one of those western countries that migrants of all statuses prefer to choose as their destination. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the UK is a former colonial superpower that owned properties on all continents of our planet. Many former colonies are members of the British Commonwealth, which maintains economic, political and cultural links between the former coloniser and the former colonies. Secondly, many migrants are convinced that the UK, as a former coloniser, owes them compensation, and they envision their share in the form of social support.
Another important factor is language. English, especially after World War II, established itself as a universal language of communication not only in the former English colonies but globally. Around 1.2 billion people in the world have at least school knowledge of English, but if we add those who speak at least some English, we get to two billion people. Migration to the UK is therefore already a linguistically logical choice for many people from the Third World. Finally, there is a social reason. The United Kingdom has created a high level of social assistance for its citizens, but it has also extended it to migrants in the last twenty years.
The Labour Party has opened the door to migration
The door to migration opened wide during the Labour rule between 1997 and 2010, as the Labour Party speculated that migrants could be a good new electoral base replacing their due-to-globalization declining Labour traditional electoral base – the white working class. Complaints about migration policies have been suppressed by the Labour Party during their rule with the adoption of new legislation that describes virtually every complaint about migration as “racist” and “xenophobic”. As a result, British society now faces a big problem. In addition to legal migrants, a huge number of illegal migrants migrate to the country. And these, too, are covered by “anti-racist” legislation. The deportation of illegal migrants is therefore very difficult, as the authorities must walk on eggshells in order not to be labelled “racist”. To sum up, everyone is restricted – the police, media, politics, relevant authorities.
Problems with deportations
The UK has a serious problem with the deportation of not only illegal migrants, but even of foreigners who pose a threat to the British society – political radicals, criminals or even terrorists. There are countless examples. For example, Aldri Capele was deported to Albania in 2018 after serving a 15-month prison sentence for drug trafficking, which cost British taxpayers almost € 20,000. After deportation, he married a Romanian woman and smuggled back to the UK via Ireland. He filed a complaint against deportation because his wife is an EU citizen (EU citizens have the right to free movement in the UK until the end of the Brexit transition period, 31 December 2020.) Other cases involve two deported drug traffickers from Jamaica and Kenya, who returned and defended themselves against the second deportation by invoking human rights. Another deported drug smuggler, who has 11 convictions in the UK, including assault, is fighting a second deportation on the grounds that he will be prosecuted in his native Uganda for homosexuality.
An Albanian criminal is fighting deportation, saying she has a family in the UK. The Dutch burglar claims that he grew up on the Island and has no memories of the Netherlands. The radical Islamic preacher, who propagates the destruction of Western democracies and the introduction of Islam to Western countries, including the UK, claimed that his human rights would have been “significantly endangered” if he had been expelled to his country of origin, so the court ruled that he would not be deported. Terrorists who left the UK on their own and gave the country up in order to join the Daesh – Islamic State terrorist gang, where they actively participated in human rights abuses, killings, human trafficking and called for terrorist attacks in Western countries, fled like rats and demanded (in the name of human rights, of course) to be allowed back to the UK after their “country” collapsed – some were not even British citizens, but only previously lived in the UK. It’s the same with “ISIS brides,” young girls who went to the Middle East, married terrorists, and called on social media to destroy the Western civilization, and invited other girls to become the brides of Daesh “fighters”. Now, however, many have children and they demand that the UK take them back, grant citizenship to their children and somehow provide social assistance.
Well-paid specialists are dealing with migrant issues
Many of the listed people above are successful in their demands, as in the UK there is not only a network of human smugglers, but also a non-governmental and legal industry that specializes (and serves well) in migrant issues. This industry is funded by British taxpayers. For example, law firm Duncan Lewis Solicitors received £55 millions of budget money in four years to prevent the deportation of illegal and criminal migrants! Migrants are thus almost impossible to evict, with around 300,000 new people immigrating to the UK every year – legally and illegally – thus it is understandable that more and more public is demanding that the government finally changes the law and curbs migration.
The reform was finally announced
Last week, the government finally responded and Home Secretary Priti Patel (migrant lovers will have a hard time accusing her of racism and xenophobia, as she is of migrant origins herself) announced that she will reform the “broken” asylum system: “I will introduce a new system that is firm and fair. Fair and compassionate towards those who need our help. Fair by welcoming people through safe and legal routes. But firm because we will stop the abuse of the system. Firm because we will stop those who come here illegally making endless legal claims to remain in our Country at the expense of the British public. And firm because we will expedite the removal of those who have no legitimate claim for protection.” Patel added that this would be “the biggest reform of our asylum system in decades,” but warned that the path to this would not be easy, as many of those to whom the current corrupt system is politically and/or financially beneficial are not going to help in the reform process.
