The document says there has been a "hesitation" about returning families, meaning many of them receive free accommodation and support "for years"...
Albanians in the United Kingdom will not be able to escape the new immigration policies that will be implemented by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Government.
The Starmer Government has even announced the return to Albania of around 700 Albanian families, including children.
Even Interior Secretary Shabana Mahmood said that if they do not agree to return voluntarily, they will be forcibly deported.
The British official specifically highlighted Albanians during her speech, mentioning the agreement between the United Kingdom and Albania, which she considered 'golden' in relation to the return of emigrants.
She claimed the UK had not been tough enough in deporting rejected asylum seekers, while unveiling the biggest change in immigration policies, sparking strong reactions.
The Home Secretary announced a series of tough measures, ordering officials to no longer hesitate to deport families, including children. And she revealed the Government is investigating forced returns to Syria after the brutal regime led by Bashar al-Assad was toppled.
In a policy paper published on Monday, she accused her predecessors of being soft, saying "we have shown that we are not willing to show the toughness or determination necessary to assert our right to return those who have no right to be here."
The document says there has been a “reluctance” to return families, meaning many have been receiving free accommodation and support “for years”. Ms Mahmood told the House of Commons that around 700 Albanian families were being housed at taxpayers’ expense, even though they are not classed as at risk if they return.
Initially, families will be offered financial support to return, but if they refuse, the Ministry of Interior will consider forced returns.
“For example, there are around 700 Albanian families whose asylum applications have been rejected, however, their removal is not currently being implemented by the Ministry of Interior, despite Albania having a gold standard of cooperation with the United Kingdom on returns and being a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. We will launch a consultation on the process of implementing the removal of families, including children,” said Shabana Mahmood, as she outlined the drastic changes to the immigration law.
Under the new rules, people who have been granted asylum will have to wait 20 years to apply to settle permanently.
And those granted protection will have their status reviewed every two and a half years, meaning they can leave if their homeland is deemed safe. But the measures have been condemned by Labour MPs, human rights activists and opposition groups.
Labour MP Nadia Whittome told the House of Commons that “it is disgraceful that a Labour government is violating the rights and protections of people who have experienced unimaginable trauma. Is this how we want to be treated if we were fleeing for our lives? Of course not.”
"So how can we pass such cruel policies? Is the Home Secretary proud that the government has sunk so low that it is now being praised by Tommy Robinson?" she said.
Far-right agitator Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, welcomed some of the Labour Party's moves on social media over the weekend. And Nigel Farage's number two, Reform deputy leader Richard Tice, joked that Ms Mahmood "is starting to look like she's putting in an application to join Reform".
Ms Mahmood told MPs it was an “inconvenient truth” that the UK’s “generous” support for asylum is drawing people into the UK. She warned that if the Government cannot regain control of the asylum system, “those who seek to divide us will become stronger” – in a veiled reference to Reform UK.
Those who are eligible to work but do not, and those with significant wealth, will be denied what the Home Office has called “automatic handouts.” Asylum seekers with valuables such as cars and electric bicycles, or large amounts of gold, will be forced to contribute to their own food under the proposals.
Keir Starmer said the case for reforming the asylum system is "extremely simple", writing that a "stronger deterrent effect and rules that are enforced vigorously" are needed.
The appeals process will be streamlined, with applicants given just one chance to challenge their refusal. The Home Secretary told MPs that a new appeals body will be set up to deal with a huge backlog of cases that reached 51,000 in March.
"Cases with a low chance of success will be expedited and claimants will have just one opportunity to claim compensation and one to appeal, ending the carousel of claims and appeals that hinders so many removals," she said. /Adapted from The Mirror/
