What prevents them from coming back?

They'll be a clause in the contact that forbids it.
But if they do return, and the country of origin refuses to accept them back, what then?

Surely if they are able to leave we can make them leave?

Not if the country of origin refuses to accept them back, or threatens to punish them for leaving in the first place.

I am open to most ideas to end this problem. Let's give it a go and see if it works.

It's only a problem because we've been told it's a problem.
Asylum seekers arriving by boat are only 40% of total asylum seekers. The others arrived by legal routes, e.g. visa overstayers, or other irregular methods.

Key Data on Non-Boat Arrivals (Year Ending Dec 2025):

• Total Applicants: ~100,625.
• Small Boat Arrivals: ~41,262 (41%).
• Non-Boat Arrivals (Total): ~59,363 (59%).
• Visa/Legal Entry: ~39,095 (39%) arrived with valid documentation (e.g., work, study, or visitor visas).
• Other Irregular/Unspecified: ~20,268 (20%) entered via other routes (lorries, clandestinely, or via the Common Travel Area).

Because of the bizarre unintended consequence, that we're now paying them to come here.

Other than bombing their country to impoverish them, how are we paying them to come to UK?

 

[King Billy]

Because it will create a pull factor

Possibly. But it's only £10,000 per person. Maximum £40,000 for a family of 4.
So don't misrepresent the situation to suit your argument.

As MNW explains, it'll cost somewhere near that amount for the total journey from their place of origin back to UK.

how do you know ? Its mostly Africa nowadays

The cost for a people smuggler to facilitate an illegal journey from Sudan to the UK can vary widely, with reports indicating overall journey costs potentially reaching £15,000 to £35,000. The final stages of the journey (e.g., crossing the English Channel from France) are often priced separately, and prices for these segments have fluctuated significantly, with some recent reports indicating a drop in prices for Sudanese nationals.

... 40k from us. .

For a family of 4. Read the article.

It's only a problem because we've been told it's a problem.
Asylum seekers arriving by boat are only 40% of total asylum seekers.

Also, between 2018 and 2024, the asylum grant rate for people who arrived by small boat was 68%, higher than the grant rate for asylum applicants overall.

Just kick them out! Give them a child's dinghy and push them towards France!

Refoulement, from French for "pushing back," is illegal.

 

[King Billy]

All these incentives are to return to their home country.

So many right wingers don't seem to comprehend straight forward English

It's not that they can't, they choose not to, to suit their xenophobic narrative.

 

[King Billy]

Thing is, we understand reality!

Apparently not. You've just, 10 minutes ago, suggested that UK act illegally, immorally and inhumanely.
But there again, you are a dog, so you wouldn't know how to act humanely.

Just kick them out! Give them a child's dinghy and push them towards France!

Get to bed Bill

 

[King Billy]

Thing is, we understand reality!

I think everyone understands that, the bit that puzzles us what safegaurds are there that they wont appear back. This time they have money to get here quicker.

Another that does not understand reality.

The cost for a people smuggler to facilitate an illegal journey from Sudan to the UK can vary widely, with reports indicating overall journey costs potentially reaching £15,000 to £35,000. The final stages of the journey (e.g., crossing the English Channel from France) are often priced separately, and prices for these segments have fluctuated significantly, with some recent reports indicating a drop in prices for Sudanese nationals.

Why do eejits claim to understand reality then illustrate that they don't?

 

[King Billy]

Does anyone know who pays them, when and where?

If it's as they leave the UK then they can just come straight back.

Try google.
You think you're an intelligent person, yet you fail to test your ludicrous hypothesis before splurting it out on social media for all to see your ignorance.

Google

"if the UK government pays an asylum seeker to leave UK voluntary, how do the government ensure that they leave?"
