Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party to Resume Asylum Application Processing for Illegal Entrants
Backlash from Activists and Unions
Sir Keir Starmer's announcement that Labour would resume processing asylum applications for individuals who have arrived in the UK illegally has sparked significant opposition from activists and unions.
Immigration Policy Concerns
Critics argue that this policy would undermine the UK's immigration system and lead to increased illegal immigration. They maintain that asylum applications should only be processed for those who have entered the country legally.
Labor's Net Migration Reduction Pledge
Starmer's promise has also drawn criticism in light of Labour's pledge to reduce net migration. Opponents contend that resuming asylum processing for illegal entrants would conflict with this goal.
International Collaboration
In contrast, Starmer has emphasized the importance of collaborating with the European Union on immigration issues. He argues that a Labour government would work closely with the EU to address common challenges.
Rwanda Scheme Cancellation
Moreover, Starmer has pledged to immediately terminate the government's Rwanda scheme, which involves sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. He maintains that this policy is inhumane and ineffective.
