Winseer:
If we leave the EU single market, and control our borders - there won’t be any further point for any illegals trying to get to Britain, since there would be checks upon everything, rather than just a small sample of routinely “waved through” road freight, which continues to be the case at present…
They don’t check every vehicle and container coming into the UK from outside the EU, so why would they check everything coming from the EU after Brexit?
How would you organise the logistics and how many staff and how much space do you think you’d need to check every vehicle just entering through Dover?
Winseer:
A future UK government outside the control of “Yuman Rights Laws” - could also save the lives or any hapless “trafficed” individuals - by stating as a worldwide decree “Future migrants to the UK legally, or illegally - don’t get housed, don’t get benefits, and are deported at the earliest opportunity every time, should they not have a job lined up upon arrival”.
If you only get state assistance if you are here legally, that is as a refugee or seeking asylum, by the very nature of being here illegally your presence and/or whereabouts is not known by the state, therefore you won’t get benefits or housing as you don’t exist on the system, these people and especially those exploiting them don’t want the state to know they’re here, they want them to work illegally, they can control them by telling them they’ll be deported if they go to the authorities.
Winseer:
We cannot enact such a law until we’ve left the EU jurisdiction/laws - BUT such a law WOULD save countless lives of those people who, in future - would find another country “in between” their nation of origion and the UK - to “find their promised land there” at hmm?
Human rights laws are not part of EU legislation, The ECHR has 47 countries signed up to it and is not and EU organisation, then the are UN agreements on treatment of Asylum Seekers, or are we going to leave the World as well?
Winseer:
The current system we have - is an utter joke.
Yep, the system stinks, there are no doubt people here illegally, working in virtual slavery, but years of cuts to public services means we don’t have the Police and Border Agency officials to raid the places that might be employing these people or housing them. So while there isn’t a great risk in getting caught with illegal workers, people carry on reaping the rewards and traffickers have a ready market.
Winseer:
People dying inside a trailer that are well-heeled enough to both pay the trafficers thousands for their illegal passage, and able to afford mobile phones to make “final statements” to… Relatives living in the UK?
That would suggest that this “pipeline” is in fact a known transport method, with UK residents “expecting” further relatives to “make it to the UK” via that particular trafficing route - wouldn’t it?Bust the trafficers, and prevent further “trafficing” by other criminal transport firms - by the implementation of strict border controls, customs points, and of course criminal bankrupcty proceedings (a rarely-used UK law) to extract the full measure of reparation from these clearly larger and more organized criminal gangs, operating with fairly large firms as a “front” like some latter-day Bond Villain.
All easily possible in Post-Brexit Britain. It would need to be a No Deal Brexit, of course. Migrant Lives, Money, and our Nation to be saved here. What’s “not-to-like”?
The laws are already in place to tackle traffickers and those employing illegal workers, but not the staff to carry out the searches.
Winseer:
“Waving them through” - clearly didn’t save their lives, and encourages other criminals to cash in on our lax borders, security, and continuing membership of the over-liberal EU
Again, down to our under investment in public services, not the EU.
