(BBC) A new law set to go before Parliament later will introduce new measures aimed at removing migrants entering the UK on small boats.
The Illegal Migration Bill is set to prevent those arriving illegally from claiming asylum, and will block them from returning or seeking citizenship.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said it was “fair for those at home and those who have a legitimate claim to asylum.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has described the plans as “unworkable.”
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the bill would push “the boundaries of international law” without breaking it — telling the Express the measures were needed to “solve this crisis.”
