The second reading of The Nationanality Borders Bill will be read today and tomorrow the 19th and 20th of July, 2021.
The Bill gives extreme powers to Home Secretary, including life sentences for those facilitating illegal entry, the removal of people who "have no right to be here", and creates a pathway for over 5 million from Hong Kong.
Prosecuting and fines will be easier with this bill passed.
Children and migrants will be housed in ex millitary style camps until proof of age, and status.
According to Frontex, there were 36 deaths and 9 wrecks this year alone in the Straits of Gibraltar.
The broken asylum system is costing taxpayers 1 billion a year. On average the Home Office provides $50,000 a year for each unaccompanied child.
There is already a back log of over 100,000 asylum cases and the Home office is being accused of running a secret policy detaining people in order to deport them.
The UN warned last week that the UK’s plans took an “almost neo-colonial approach” and was designed to shift the duty for shielding refugees away from Britain.
Gillian Triggs, the assistant excessive commissioner for cover on the UNHCR, mentioned throughout a Chatham House briefing final Thursday that the UK appeared to be making an attempt to “wash its hands” of its worldwide duties.
Immigration Lawyers are already challenging these "unlawful policies".

“I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformati on, Europe will not survive.“ (video here)
