They should be stopped but they’re not the problem.
They are clearly a problem that needs to be grasped firmly, and Labour will not stop the flow.

We need firm laws in place to send illegal migrants back and ensure that we only allow those in that have the skills we need or are fleeing persecution in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Hong Kong.

We do have a labour force shortage at present, which means we need to train our own people up in those areas so that they can replace those who have left, hopefully paying them more as well (which comes from the labour shortage, exactly as Brexiteers planned). At the same time, we need to stop people taking advantage of our generous benefits system.

Clearly, if we still have a shortage in any specific areas, we then need to open the way to foreigners with those skills to come into this country.

There has been a deliberate false message being passed around by remainers, the Opposition parties and the bleeding heart liberals that Brexiteers wanted to stop migration due to racial prejudice. This is not so. Brexiteers were merely asking for control of immigration to the levels this country can cope with.

Why do you think the Illegal Migration Bill is going through Parliament? Surely, you weren’t expecting the government to break the law, were you?

You know perfectly well that we need the legal change put in place before we can deal with the people smugglers in a more effective way.
