Le Nazioni Unite affermano che il 2024 sarà l’anno più mortale per i migranti della Manica

I still can’t think of a particularly good reason why we don’t just allow people to make asylum claims offshore.

OK cool. How about setting up an office in calias for these ecominic migrants to claim asylum?

If they are successful they can have house, credit card, benefits, healthcare etc. But yeah, who cares about out existing homeless population for those who lost their jobs and can’t pay their mortgage. Fuck em.

The leftwing politicians who have refused to reform our dysfunctional system are the ones responsible for these avoidable deaths.

Currently there is an overwhelming incentive for illegal migrants to make the perilous journey, as soon as you claim asylum you gain all sorts of legal protections and privileges (such as guaranteed accomodation as per ECHR rules, we are paying £120-150 per night, per migrant). Even if your claim is rejected you will _de facto_ be allowed to stay indefinitely because it is borderline impossible to deport anyone (even when [they are violent criminals ](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11877091/Convicted-rapist-fighting-deportation-allowed-stay-Britain-crime-judge-rules.html))

If we had a blanket, lifetime ban on granting asylum or visas to anyone who had arrived illegally, alongside instant deportations, it would no longer be worth making the journey and the route would close itself almost overnight.

The status quo is you’re basically guaranteed to stay and the government will immediately put you into a 4-star hotel (we are currently at [£15 million a day on hotels and £5.4 billion a year for illegal migrants](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/government-labour-yvette-cooper-matthew-rycroft-home-secretary-b2504330.html)) – then it is worth taking the risk to pay the people smugglers because once you get in, you’re sorted for life.

Asylum shopping should be banned. Anyone coming in from a safe country should automatically be denied asylum.
