Only 0.5% Of Migrants Have Been Deported After Illegally Crossing The Channel
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by chairman of The Bow Group Ben Harris-Quinney, who claims a plane would need to take off to Rwanda every minute, if the Government’s immigration targets were to be met.
When learning that only 0.5% of migrants were deported after illegally crossing the channel, Kevin O’Sullivan said it was “pathetic”.
More than 2,000 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel since the Government’s Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act became law.
The figures come as Channel crossings continued after a steady stream of arrivals over the bank holiday weekend.
Since the legislation aimed at getting deportation flights to Rwanda off the ground received Royal Assent on April 25, government officials have recorded 2,007 migrants arriving in the UK in 40 boats.
