| Illegal migration is a small but significant part of the problem of excessive immigration. But if it is left to grow unchecked, it can become a serious problem, as demonstrated by the example of Italy where there are currently over half a million ‘clandestini’. The only sensible solution to the problem of illegal migration is to break the business model of the smuggling gangs by making it clear to their potential clients that even if they succeed in crossing the Channel, they will not be allowed to stay in Britain and may be removed to a safe third country like Rwanda. The migrants are not stupid. They are not going to pay smugglers large sums to get them to Britain if they end up in Africa. I am sure that Keir Starmer understands this perfectly well. But he knows that a policy to remove migrants will never be acceptable to large numbers of his party who regards all such measures as ‘right wing’ and therefore wicked. So he has cobbled together a meaningless policy of increased cooperation with the police of neighbouring countries to ‘smash’ the smuggling gangs, something which everyone in his party can support. However such cooperation has been in place for years. It has done little to stem the tide of migrants and there is no reason it will be any more effective in the future. This is because there will always be criminals willing to risk arrest when there is a seemingly infinite demand for their services ands huge profits to be made. |
