ER Editor: Would this be a serious attempt to deal with illegal immigration we wonder? The document put out by the UK government (linked to below) suggests that. Could this become actual fruit borne of the recent riots? We’ll wait and see.
X users don’t think so and haven’t missed the stunning irony of the announcement by Yvette Cooper —
Some of us have little faith in Yvette Cooper & her ability, or willingness, to fix a problem she helped to create.. https://t.co/rFuYiGug8a pic.twitter.com/6V2wRTCLoJ

🇬🇧 Labour’s sourpuss Yvette Cooper repeatedly votes against govt measures to curb the invasion of our great country by illegal immigrants
She is a danger to national security and would be a cataclysmic Home Secretary #NeverLabour

Just words. She has NO IDEA of the scale of the problem. 14k over six months is pathetic.
It needs to be 14,500 per DAY for six months.
For a start.

The Independent (strong MSM alert, it is cited below) has this —
Yvette Cooper facing backlash over immigration crackdown as plans to ramp up deportations revealed
The Telegraph (paywall) has its own piece which includes this —
Here’s a GB News report, which offers some useful insights. Channel crossings aren’t necessarily the big deal they’re made out to be. The visa overstay situation, as well as foreign national offenders, seems to be the bigger problem. How will any UK policy fare against organizations like the UN (and ECHR)? Labour will have to change existing Conservative govt legislation, it seems. —

UK announces crackdown on illegal immigration
Home Secretary has promised a raft of “strong and clear steps” to boost border security and curb influx of undocumented migrants
RT
London is set to introduce a series of new measures aimed at tackling illegal immigration into the UK and at strengthening the country’s border security, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced.
According to a Wednesday statement, over the next six months the government plans to achieve the “highest rate of removals of those with no right” to be in the country since 2018, including asylum seekers whose applications have failed.
“We are taking strong and clear steps to boost our border security and ensure the rules are respected and enforced,” Cooper stated.
The new measures include the immediate recruitment of up to 100 new specialist intelligence and investigation officers at the National Crime Agency (NCA) to “disrupt and smash criminal smuggling gangs and prevent dangerous boat crossings.”
The government also revealed plans to increase its detention capacity, with 290 new beds at the Campsfield and Haslar Immigration Removal Centres.
In addition, a new intelligence-driven illegal working program will be rolled out to target, investigate and take down “unscrupulous employers who illegally employ those with no right to work here.”
“A range of sanctions, including financial penalty notices, business closure orders and potential prosecution, will be taken against those employing illegal workers,” the statement reads. “Those caught working illegally and eligible for removal will be detained, pending their swift removal.”
According to The Independent, critics have called the government plans “a waste of taxpayer money,” claiming that they lack detail and fail to recognize “the dignity and humanity of migrants,” particularly in the wake of recent riots that targeted hotels housing asylum seekers across the country.
The new plan means more than 14,000 deportations by the end of the year, the newspaper wrote on Wednesday. However, the figure is far lower than the 45,000 returned in 2010 under the former Labor government and less than the 19,000 migrants who have arrived in Britain by crossing the Channel in small boats so far this year, The Independent also noted.
Official statistics show that, with legal and illegal immigration combined, some 1.2 million people moved to the UK last year, 85% of them from outside the EU.
