I can't see how a special task force is going to make any difference.
I agree. For every gang arrested, a new one will be created. It's be a chase your own tail saga.
We already have high tech drones and radar to track pretty much every crossing.
Border force already have more powers than any police officer.
The smuggling gangs operate in Turkey, France and Albania, No special task force is going to have power to operate there.
Well, a lot of goodwill and some give and take will be needed, if it's to be achieved.
I suspect "asylum seeker quotas" might be one of the 'gives' under discussion.
4 things seem to work:
- Denying those who arrive illegally any right to claim asylum or leave to remain
- The threat of remote processing or getting sent to a less desirable 3rd country
- Physically deterring departure via interception and push back.
- Long sentences for those who helm the vessel
I disagree.
The first two policies in your little list has not affected the flow of asylum seekers.
And the third item in your list are illegal.
And the final policy increases the prison population (with its own repercussions) with no effect on the flow of asylum seekers.
4 things seem to encourage them:
- Near certain rescue and taxing to the UK if you run in to problems. The RNLI are usually called out and are first on scene even in French waters
Still peddling your deceit and bigotry about the RLNI.
- Knowing that you will probably never get sent back
Repatriation to certain countries would be illegal.
But who do we blame for the failures so far?
- Having the French turn a blind eye
It requires a joined up, agreeable, approach. The blame game does not work, and it never has, It merely causes division.
- having "charities", fund your legal costs.
You wish to deny some humans their inalienable rights, because they're seeking asylum. I.e. they're fleeing the denial of their inalienable rights.
The only thing the previous government wasn't doing is push back or take back.
It's illegal. That's why they weren't doing it.
