  1. [Small boat crossings](https://inews.co.uk/topic/channel-crisis?ico=in-line_link) to the UK have [hit record highs this year](https://inews.co.uk/news/four-reasons-small-boat-crossings-highest-level-3778126?ico=in-line_link), and are expected to continue to rise over the summer.

    The [UK and France are working to agree a new deal](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/france-uk-migrant-deal-small-boats-3793329?ico=in-line_link) to stop the dangerous crossings, with Paris pushing London to make the UK less attractive to [asylum seekers](https://inews.co.uk/topic/asylum-seekers?ico=in-line_link).

    [Emmanuel Macron ](https://inews.co.uk/topic/emmanuel-macron?srsltid=AfmBOoqruhwW8cTRDBcbeCdrijQygt8MsN6Hd0AMkzFeeprsAkKkZWhk&ico=in-line_link)is reportedly pushing British authorities to crack down on the UK’s black market for labour, reduce welfare payments and open family reunification schemes for asylum seekers to provide a safe route for those with connections to the UK.

    But how many asylum seekers does the UK attract compared with other European countries?

  2. If only we could be part of some sort of Union with other European countries in order to have agreement and cooperation on these problems.

  3. Emmanuel Macron is reportedly pushing British authorities to open family reunification schemes for asylum seekers to provide a safe route for those with connections to the UK.

    Wow. How about no. Please give them a super easy claim and just let them all in. Fuck off mate.
    They aren’t wanted, we aren’t trying to get more in, even faster.

  4. Britain can’t even process what we have now. So maybe a complete ban and send them back to France on small boats. If the French authorities can deal with them returning, then they can clearly deal with them on their way out.
    The country is clearly full and at breaking point. As part of an immigrant family, unfortunately there’s no room in the inn.

  5. i read comments about limiting immigration. so basically far-right parties have always been right? far-right policies implemented by socialist governments automatically become ok?

  6. When you’ve worked out the difference between asylum seekers and migrants feel free to write an article. You also fail to remember that when we were in the EU there was huge migration into the UK and its why we have millions more here than just a few years ago and still trying to absorb them.

    Add all the numbers together, legal inc. recent Indian deal, recent EU changes, asylum and migrants, then do a comparison to size of the country and let us know the narrative. The UK is being drowned by its compassion

  7. You dont reward someone for doing something ilegal by giving them houses and benefits that even British folk cant get, but then try to take it away from our disabled community etc.

  8. Here’s a more simple rule. They are illegal and coming from you Mr Macaroon; stop sending them over or take them all back. Without papers their origin is where they departed from – these are illegal French economic migrants.

  9. This is from Rafe on X

    We must:

    1. Empty all hotels & private accommodation & transfer migrants to temporary camps until they can be processed & deported

    2. Properly clamp down on the underground economy (harsh criminal penalties for curry houses, delivery apps etc)

    3. Heavily punish rogue landlords who don’t do background checks on tenants

    4. Only UK citizens are eligible for benefits

    5. Mass deportations of illegals

    6. Anyone caught in the Channel will be told they will NEVER set foot on UK soil. If their boats can’t be turned back to France, they will be plucked from the sea and housed on old cruise ships in the Channel.

    Once a ship is full it will be sailed off to South Georgia

    South Georgia is a British Overseas Territory and therefore the legal obstacles that hampered the Rwanda scheme won’t apply.

    Once potential migrants realise they’ll never set foot on British soil but will end up on a wind-swept island in the Atlantic, the deterrence will soon be established.

    This is what the Australians did with the island of Nauru, which is 1000 miles away from Australia. It was a hugely successful policy.

    7. Copy the Danes and take out adverts in foreign publications to alert migrants to the tough new regime.

    Only by creating a true “hostile environment” will the incentive to come to the UK be broken.
