He also said, “we’ve taken the tough decisions to secure our borders.”
PM Rishi Sunak said: “This week we’ve taken the tough decisions to secure our borders.
Immigration is too high.
Illegal migration must end.
Here is what we are doing about it:
We started the week taking action to bring down net migration.
Our plans are expected to deliver our biggest ever reduction – cutting numbers by around 300,000.
Migration will always benefit the UK, but we must end the abuse of our system and reach a sustainable level.
We’re ending the legal merry-go-round that has stopped our Rwanda policy from running to date.
On Tuesday we signed a new treaty that guarantees Rwanda is safe.
Our deal makes that clear. I will do whatever it takes to fulfil my pledge to stop the boats.
As the child of immigrants, I understand why people want to come to the UK.
But my parents came here legally. We cannot have criminal gangs exploiting the vulnerable.
This week I announced the toughest anti-illegal immigration law ever to finally stop the boats.
Our new bill is the toughest anti-illegal immigration law ever introduced.
It will ensure it is Parliament that controls who comes to this country, not criminal gangs or foreign courts.”
