Who dismissed him to start with about the boats and it being ficititous sensationalism etc.
The various gov's have always worked on illegal immigration. Your forgetting earlier methods of these people getting here and also how some were given work and still kept off the books. At time gov's have had to say come out come out where ever you are to hopefully get them on the books to help avoid them being abused and also used by crime.
So based on the above Farage comes along and say hey they are getting in using inflatables. He doesn't offer any solutions and also often demonstrates he is a racist. It's worth having some actual numbers. A plot, ~100,000 in total
Careful about drops - covid reduced numbers and at one point Albanians made up a high proportion. A return agreement was made as Albania can't afford to loose it's young. Richi says he has reduced the numbers on this basis but fact is the usual other countries still arrive. Afghans figure, real refugees. Sort that out properly and the rest can be deported. Farage says why aren't we deporting 41% any more. Now with more economic types it could probably be higher.
The reason for the drop is obvious. Processing also probably has similar problems to the other earlier boat people. Deporting them when they were entitled to live here. Get the refugee decisions right and no point in legal actions.
One of the stranger things that the Tory seem to have ignored is arrival disappearing into the population .Something no country wants. Given the way it has been handled some will have. Seems we couldn't keep a watch and intercept them ourselves. Spend a packet in France when they will probably just try again. Worked with ports but with boats?
All Farage has done and will continue to do in any area is add to the confusion. People get influenced by him and that can change the direction main stream politics go in. Takes time but it happens,
Visa immigrants. There are breakdowns about. It seems ~1/2 is tourism / work related visits. So reduce this area to 40% of what it currently is via a vote in the house? All sorts of races are involved. Going to single some out? It's a pipe dream.
Boarder force? Fact is as far as legal routes are concerned a passport is needed. That leaves a problem of tracking where people are to ensure they don't overstay etc. a common problem when ever passports are used as a control and it has been handled. Maybe BF will be expanding that or maybe it's just taxation related.
