"Daily Telegraph", a pro-government newspaper and one of the most engaged in immigration issues, has announced that the Ministry of the Interior and Immigration has given the opportunity to asylum seekers who came through the English Channel by dinghy to work in the care sector for the elderly, construction or agriculture.
English Channel migrants have been tacitly granted this right while continuing to have access to hotels provided for their accommodation under the official housing scheme. About 16,000 asylum seekers have been granted this right to work by those who arrived in 2022, when the figure was higher at about 45,000 people and when Albanians were anathema to have invaded Britain.
These asylum seekers have been effectively given the right to work in sectors known to have the biggest shortages in the British economy and were paid up to 80 per cent of the official rate of pay, while if they earned more than the £49 a week they received in welfare they gave up this much given by the state.
This fact contradicts the public perception that English asylum seekers were kept in hotels and not allowed to work, while the father of Brex, Nigel Farage who is challenging the ruling Tories for the next election and is expected to take many MPs with his new party, the Reform Party, says the scheme could act as a "push factor" to encourage immigrants to come to Britain illegally.
This is a disaster, says Farage, and if traffickers advertise jobs and housing, more will want to come to Britain, while the Rwandan plan becomes totally irrelevant compared to this scheme.
Rishi Sunak is expected to face off in the House of Lords this week over his Rwanda plan as he calls for repatriation flights to start this spring in an election year, but the latest opinion polls show that 50 per cent of respondents have not belief that the Rwandan plan put forward by the government will curb the arrival of new migrants in rafts across the English Channel. Even this, according to them, will make them vote more for the opposition in the new elections this year.
