What is radical about stopping people floating over without documents?
Seems pretty sensible.

[whatonearth]

That’s actually a brilliant plan to be fair. About time something like this was put in place.

Stop the boats during crossing the channel all the time! These are illegal migrants!

[Intel-i-k]

Ofcourse. Offering them asylum will only signal to other country's residents that the UK has open borders

[ythinder]

The NHS is in ruins meanwhile UK taxpayers foot the £1.3 billion bill to accommodate immigrants

[Aegmog]

This took how many years? Too little too late. Damage is done.

A foreigner reporting on another foreigner's stance on foreigners.

I love how channel 4 pretends people crossing the channel isn’t a problem

[tonylyons]

When we act extreme it is because the asylum seekers has swamped our country. So I'm happy with this ruling.

[johntaylor]

Great news as it means that all immigrants will be treated the same way and the illegals will not be allowed to disadvantage those that are going through approved channels

[florencedylan]

All talk, no action! COULD= weak possibility= WILL NOT HAPPEN

[TheTrickshot]

I thought entering a country illegally was already illegal?

[alexandermcdonald]

Sounds like Australia’s border policy.

[annie]

It's about time, don't care if it is pushing the boundaries. It is time they start safe guarding and looking after our tax paying country.

[stavm]

Obviously you can not do the job so draft in Australian and Canadian Border Force to show our lot how its done. What a disgrace to all those who lost their lives in ww2 to keep our borders.

45, 000 people arrived this year in small boats that are paying thousands to smugglers, this law will ruin the system that smugglers have because no one will pay them to smuggle if they know as soon as they arrive they will be sent back

[matsuhirakimura]

Mine the waters change your own country.

[alexbowman]

Just about every country around the World if I was to float onto one of it’s beaches without ID and lying about my circumstances I would rightfully be arrested and possibly face a jail sentence with almost certain repatriation to follow.

[fifitheflowerpot]

Only allowed from plane. Like over a million and half from Ukraine blonde hair blue eyed🤗

[georgescoresby]

Imagine, making illegal immigration illegal. Oh the inhumanity of it all!
