Rishi Sunak announced in Parliament that new laws will be introduced to deal with illegal immigration. Anyone who comes to the UK illegally cannot stay: they will either be deported back to their home country or to a safe third country.
Prime Minister He said, that the legislation will be introduced at the beginning of next year. Therefore, in the future, those who do not reach the country legally and safely will be “detained and quickly returned either to their home country or to a safe country where their asylum application will be examined.”
The British Prime Minister also said that illegal immigrants “can no longer thwart deportation attempts through late or false applications or appeals” and that, once removed from the UK, they “have no right to resettlement or become citizens”.
At the same time, he promised to work with the United Nations refugee agency to create more legal avenues,
The prime minister also announced that the government would resume controversial flights to Rwanda to deport illegal arrivals, and that members of parliament may soon set an annual quota to “limit our capacity” on the number of asylum seekers they can grant asylum.
Sunak described the part dealing with Albanian citizens as the most important point of the draft. Of the nearly 13,000 people, he said, a third of those who left for Great Britain by boat from the European continent this year are Albanian citizens.
However, Albania is a safe and prosperous European country, a candidate for EU membership and a NATO ally, and therefore the British government returns Albanian asylum seekers who arrive in Great Britain with speedy procedures – the British Prime Minister stressed in his parliamentary presentation.
He added: Germany, France, Italy and Sweden have also classified Albania as a safe country, and even the Albanian Prime Minister has stated that there is no reason why Albanian asylum seekers should not be returned to Albania immediately.
