Today, Sir Keir Starmer will announce an amnesty for illegal immigrants, opening the floodgates to uncontrolled immigration – because he does not have a plan to stop the boats.
- Whilst the Conservatives are focused on starting the flights and stopping the boats, Labour’s plan consists of an amnesty for all illegal immigrants, meaning they stay here, scrapping our Rwanda plan and removing a deterrent and re-announce a Small Boats Operational Command that already exists. Nobody believes Keir Starmer wants to control our borders when he previously said immigration controls are ‘racist’ and blocked the deportation of violent sexual offenders. Actions speak louder than words – Keir Starmer will never be on the side of the British people.
- Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives have cut the number of small boat arrivals by over a third in 2023 and by sticking to the plan we will deport those arriving illegally in the UK to Rwanda as we protect our borders and reduce the pressure on our public services to create a brighter future.
