So I assume their family will have to meet the income and savings requirement that I had to meet to bring my wife and kids here 2 years ago? And pay the extortionate costs of the visa and NHS surcharge.

that isn’t going to solve anything, none in thousands out.

What’s in it for France here? Why would they agree to this?

Why don’t we just deport everyone who has entered illegally.

This is such a genius policy and I’m honestly stunned no one had thought of it before.
This isn’t actually about deporting people, this is about stopping people crossing over entirely. If you know if you cross over on a boat you will just be returned to France, that immediately makes the whole effort pointless.
The UK is happy to tie the deportation to 1 person imported because its proportional to those coming over on boats. As the people crossing over decreases (as they will just now be returned to France so there is no motivation), the number of people the UK imports from this policy also decreases. If they can get this to work it has the potential of instantly fixing the small boat crisis.

This needs to be resolved fast.
Beginning to think these gangs are funded by Russia in order for the growth of Reform.

Brilliant idea. I’m going to apply the same principle to reducing the amount of vodka in my house. When one bottle is finished, I’ll go buy another. That should help.

How about none in, all out for both countries as their compassion is being exploited by bad actors and has been for decades now.

At yes France. Forgot they existed.
Are we not paying them already? For something they don’t really do?

Damn. They’re announcing the world’s first migrant trading card game?

Migrants are being used by Russia to destabilise Western countries. How about we start treating smuggling gangs like terrorists?

If it where me making the calls I would just have a giant boom installed of the coast along the channel. Boats can’t get past that and they’re not going to climb over and swim the rest of the way.

like can we give France Piers Morgan? /s

This would be more orderly and Britain agreeing to take one approved asylum seeker from France with family links to Britain for every migrant sent back to France would also be more likely to be women and children, so there would be less of a visceral reaction compared to what’s happening with the boats currently.
Plus, as fewer people make the crossing knowing they’ll be sent back, with the agreement of France, fewer people come and so we take in fewer migrants from France even with this deal

This’ll please anyone who has ever said “Britain is full”. Now they don’t need to worry about being pushed off the edge because a migrant has arrived.

Great. We’ll send a business man with a newspaper and bowler hat and they can send an onion seller with a stripy jumper and thin moustache.

We give France £500 million for doing knob all so why would they agree to this.

Despite being British born, to British parents and ancestors back thousands of years, I can’t bring my girlfriend/ here despite being together 8 years who has a degree from a British university who has worked in the UK, paid tax in the UK, paid tuition fees in the UK, completed her student visa and left promptly within the confines of her visa who had worked in Japan for 5 years paying all taxes and completing her visa and gaining a new visa.
Instead I need to have a job paying 29k which no one will offer me unless I am already living in the UK meaning I just abandon my girlfriend/wife while I job hunt in the UK before she can possibly then apply for a spousal visa and spend close to 5k to do so.
What benefit do I even get to being British? Can’t use the NHS as I am not a resident, fair enough but not able to bring my spouse? They won’t even let me pay home fees at university. I wonder what benefit I even get to being British sometimes. Would they even give me a council house if I came back?
We don’t want free housing, free money or anything. I would even go private for the doctor and dentist. All we want to do is come home to spend time with my nan in her last years and help her.
But nah no way around it, we can’t come back together so we stay in Japan.
However everyone else seems to get a free past, even here sure you take one of our illegals and we will take one for family reunification. Like seriously would it be easier and quicker for me to come back and have her be in France to get in through this scheme.

They need to use this to deter people, but then we need to start actively processing claims and remigrating people.
I feel if you show up without documents you should lose credibility towards your asylum claim to deter people from pretending to not know where they come from.
Also, maybe the French could do what we paid them hundreds of millions of pounds to do?

One in one out. No trainers. No football shirts. Can we have bouncers stationed on the Dover cliffs?

IF only Britain had some sort of British navy that could turn around or straight up drop boat crossers back off at the French beaches they come from, if only they had specifically designed beach landing craft for the job. You would think that would be the deterrent, its certainly not paying France billions.
