There is a lot of debate as to whether the Reform Pledge to deport illegal migrants will work. Key to the Reform plan is the passage of a new law called the Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill.
Reform UK said the bill would create a legal duty for the home secretary to remove illegal migrants, and ban anyone who had been deported from re-entering the UK for life. The bill would also “disapply” international treaties like the Refugee Convention, a 1951 treaty that prevents signatory countries like the UK from returning refugees to countries where they face serious threats to their life or freedom. To make removals easier, Reform is promising to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), another treaty designed to protect human rights and political freedoms
This gets complex because Farage has also said that he will renegotiate the Good Friday Agreement in order to leave the ECHR. This will take years, even if it happens.
Then there is the question of where Reform will deport all the migrants to? This is conditional on “deals” with countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea. These may or may not happen. For example, HOW will Reform know which countries the illegal migrants come from? They dump all their identification in the middle of the Channel. How can Reform prove their country of origin?
My plan is more simple.
Five stages to it;
-
Declare a National Emergency in the English Channel.
-
Use Royal Navy and British Army resources to stop EVERY dinghy trying to cross the Channel. All MUST be returned into French territorial waters. No exceptions.
-
Round up ALL illegal migrants in this country – estimated at in excess of 1.2m – and return them to where we KNOW they came from – France. Fill up Royal Navy carriers with Migrants and send them
-
Stop ALL payments to France and declare France a hostile nation. It is a safe country and so returning migrants to the safe country they came from is not a breach in the migrants so-called “rights’
-
Shut down all fake UK based “charities” who encourage migrants to come here
My aim is instant deportation of ALL illegal migrants without going through YEARS of ECHR and HRA/GFA legal complexity.
As has been suggested, it means getting legislation through Parliament in 20229-2030 that would lead to the UK leaving the ECHR and
