Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
“these offences will not be targeted at the people who conduct people-smuggling operations, most of whom never set foot on UK soil and will not be reached by the new offences. Rather, who will be targeted? … the very vulnerable people who are seeking asylum in this country and making these irregular journeys, because they have no other option”.
