France looking to take money and do nothing again then.
It would be worth every penny spending billions to set up detention centres and detaining all migrants on arrival. Only way is to create proper deterrence. Continuing as we are will lead to tens of billions cost in the long term. As they transition to ILR, benefits, social housing, bring their extended families and be a burden on the state all their lives.
Build Nightingale holding centres ala COVID.
Metal, prefab structures with beds, mass catering and medical staff, as well as security and perimiter fences.
All arrivals to be held in such facilities until claims are processed.
If only there were some binding agreement that would secure migrant returns between the two nations… like it could be part of some sort of economic union to ensure compliance…
> After a handful of interventions, the policy was delayed after police unions said it could put the lives of people-smugglers, migrants and French officers at risk
Great so sounds like the French want to keep the people smugglers. Surely then with this we should be fining France for every migrant who arrives here rather than giving them money? As it seems they’re complicit in people smuggling
This deal was never going to work for us, just think logically about objectives and outcomes.
The ultimate stated objective of the one in one out scheme is to reduce the number of asylum seekers crossing the channel to zero.
Instead of constructing a convoluted one in one out scheme and hoping that it acts as a deterrent, why not simply return every person picked up from the Channel immediately to French shores? This would be a much faster and simpler way to achieve the same objective.
“France would never agree to that” – Ok, but ask yourself why? If the one in one out scheme was successful, it would lead to exactly the same outcome – to reduce the number of asylum seekers crossing the channel to zero. The only reason for France to agree to the one in one out scheme, but not agree to simply accepting immediate returns, is because they either believe that the one in one out scheme will fail or they believe that they can make it fail.
A broken one in one out scheme is advantageous to France because they can hand over all their difficult asylum cases to us while accepting people that they can deport. The longer they drag out a broken scheme the more they can offload their asylum burden onto us.
Taking control of our own border is something that we need to do ourselves. We cannot rely on France to solve the problem for us, especially when they have demonstrated at every available opportunity that they will act in bad faith and exploit any deal we make with them for nothing in return.
