‘Inhumane’: UK plan for tougher asylum system draws criticism
Al Jazeera
The government is attempting crack down on people who arrive by unauthorised routes, such as in small boats or in trucks.
The United Kingdom is planning to toughen immigration rules to make it harder for people who arrive by unauthorised routes, such as truck stowaways or those who board small boats, to be given asylum. Home Secretary Priti Patel said asylum-seekers who come to Britain through organised, sponsored routes, will have their refugee claims considered promptly and will be given support to settle. Those who enter the country otherwise will only be given temporary permission to stay, will receive limited benefits and will be “regularly reassessed for removal from the UK.”
