LONDON, 06 December 2022, (TON): A blanket ban on asylum seekers from countries designated by the UK as being safe places to live is proposed by British Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
Under plans to tackle what the UK government describes as a “migrant crisis,” she is said to be drawing up legislation that will make it easier to automatically reject and expel asylum seekers from such countries whether or not their claims are “unfounded.”
Experts said the move is designed primarily to target Albanian migrants. More than 12,000 have arrived in the UK on small boats this year, representing about a quarter of all such Channel crossings.
Under the new legislation, the report added, countries would be designated as safe based on the rules that already apply to an existing Home Office white list.
