Boat illegals up under Labour.

[denso13]

What are the real numbers?

"93% of people arriving in small boats from 2018 to March 2024 claimed asylum; of those who had received a decision by 31 March 2024, around three quarters were successful."

So process them, not just accomodating them.

What's wrong with processing and returning ?

Prevention is better than cure, so stopping them before they make it here is preferable. Yes, agree that fast track and rigorous screening should be carried out for those who still make it through.

Are you denying that 30,000 migrants are living in good hotels?

The Grand on Llandudno pier used to be a 'good hotel'.

Good thinking. There is a lot of easy money to me made. It's the reason why so many are fooled into leaving their cushy accommodation and make for the beaches.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

That is factually wrong. Most boat people who are assessed are allowed to stay because they have valid claims of persecution.

That is factually wrong. Most boat people who are assessed, are allowed to stay, because they have good complicit, taxpayer funded, legal support, they are versed in exactly what to claim their situation was, and the uk government's lawyers, cannot prove otherwise. Why might you suppose that 99% of them, are fit young males?

Offshore processing? Won't stop them all but might make a big dent in the gangster's business model?

Seeing how successive governments have allowed the population to increase by millions, I'm guessing it's not a rigorous process. With the type of people administering such a process, must be plenty of rubber-stamping.

 

[denso13]

That is factually wrong.

It is factually correct.

"93% of people arriving in small boats from 2018 to March 2024 claimed asylum; of those who had received a decision by 31 March 2024, around three quarters were successful."

 

[denso13]

I'm guessing

Yes, unfortunately you are.

 

[denso13]

Why might you suppose that 99% of them, are fit young males?

That is factually wrong as well. I'm more than happy to debate this honestly, but you are just making stuff up.

 

[noseall]

Do you actually believe the nonsense you write, or are you just looking for an argument?

 

[motorbiking]

Invade France? Lol, ok...

They are either:
Vessels illegally passaging to the U.K. without authority = turn back

Or

Vessels in distress needing assistance in French waters. = take back
Is there a 3rd scenario?

 

[motorbiking]

No, the numbers accepted prove they are genuine.

Nonsense. It proves they have good tax payer funded legal representation who assist them with saying and claiming the right thing.

If your point were true France would also have the same acceptance rate.

completely wrong

we have already established that pushbacks are illegal....it says so in the link you provided

Any vessel that is in the vicinity of a boat in distress has a duty to attend.........and a rubber dinghy overloaded with people is in distress

Also you have still avoided answering why Priti Patel tried introducing legislation that prevented border force from prosecution


You can carry on being wrong if you want, your choice

 

[Notch7]

f your point were true France would also have the same acceptance rate.

not true, its clearly easier to get to france than the UK, so it makes sense they have a higher refusal rate, although its not massively different as acceptance rates for France in 2023 were 52% and they took more asylum claims in 2023 (167,432)
