British Ministry of Defense numbers
• The ministry said that the first total number of transients this year reached 40,885 refugees, most of them dairy, Iranians and Afghans.
• This number last year reached 28561 refugees, indicating a significant increase.
• The ministry added that about 972 people monitored on Saturday on 22 boats, crossing, on a dangerous journey.
And the numbers rising years ago, from 299 refugees crossed in 2018 to 1843 in 2019, and 8466 in 2020, according to British statistics.
The numbers continued to escalate despite several British procedures, including a plan to return migrants to Rwanda that was banned by the British judiciary.
Last week, British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak announced the preparation of a new plan with France, after his first direct meeting with President Emmanuel Macron.
French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna and her British counterpart James Cleverly stressed in talks on Friday the “urgent necessity to address all forms of illegal immigration, including crossing small boats and addressing their radical causes,” according to a joint statement.
The increasing number of migrants increased asylum requests and shelter costs estimated by the United Kingdom government at 6. 8 million pounds (7.
8 million dollars) per day, which led to the exhaustion of the efforts of service providers and the anger of the British.
The Minister of Immigration, Robert Jenrrick, wrote in the newspaper “Sunday Telegraph”, that “Britain’s generosity is misunderstood” by economic immigrants, who were “shopping asylum” across Europe.
He added: “It is necessary to believe in the (Britain Hotel) and replace it with simple and practical accommodations that do not create an additional attraction.
”
Cheap alternatives
The British government is searching for alternatives to accommodate asylum seekers in hotel rooms, including their transfer to abandoned student housing or tourist ships with limited budget, according to “Sunday Telegraph”.
However, refugee rights defense groups accuse the government of following a harsh and chaotic approach, after the spread of diseases in one of the crowded asylum applications centers in Manston in southeastern England.
Officials said that immigrants in the facility are vaccinated against diphtheria (the screws) due to high infection cases.
Genrik pointed out the importance of documenting relations with France, as the new partnership will witness Britain’s introduction of about 80 million pounds to Paris in order to enhance joint procedures and operations against human smuggling gangs..
