Figures released to the British media suggest that the profits of the groups of traffickers who enable illegal crossings through the 34 km sea strait of the English Channel, between France and England, have reached half a billion pounds.
According to the Sunday Express newspaper, over 114,000 asylum seekers have been able to come to English shores only by dinghy since 2018, paying an average of 4,000 pounds each for the often quite dangerous journey, especially in rough seas.
From the 1 million that was thought to be the gain in 2018, when there were only 300 asylum seekers who arrived by raft, 5 years later the figure went to its record of nearly 46 thousand in 2022. The gains could be even higher as analysis and studies do not include cash paid to criminal groups by asylum seekers.
While the Sunak government attacks the opposition for not obstructing and voting 70 times against Rwanda's plan, the opposition, which is thought to win this year's elections convincingly, sometime in the fall, says that based on its plan, when they come to power, instead of the Rwandan plan, they will use the funds to create an elite border police force to prevent the arrival of parts of rafts from other countries in France, as well as increasing criminal prosecutions, freezing bank accounts and assets of organized crime groups in Britain.
Meanwhile, Britain is among the first of the major European countries to grant asylum to those who seek it when they arrive, a figure that has doubled since Brexit and currently stands at 75.1 percent in 2023. taking asylum from those who sought it in Britain.
It is believed that leaving the EU and not negotiating a new agreement such as the Dublin Convention which allowed asylum seekers to return to the first safe country as when Britain was in the EU, is one of the reasons for granting asylum as the British have nowhere to go. they bring them back.
Although the new Minister of the Interior has said that he will seek and fight for no illegal crossings during 2024, what the Prime Minister himself was forced to deny, it is thought that during this year the crossings may reach 34 thousand more than in 2023. and this from media very close to the government. If it does, then the chances of Sunak and the conservatives to win the election are likely to shrink even more.
