The UK ‘migrant child’ decision
The British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, in her speech at the British Parliament session on the Illegal Immigration Bill, made assessments of irregular immigrants at the age of children. Pointing out that only in some cases will unaccompanied minor irregular migrants be deported, she Braverman said that children who come for reasons other than these conditions can stay in England until the age of 18 with the necessary support.
Responding to backlash about the deportation of families and pregnant women, Braverman said: “It bears reiterating that the majority of illegal entrants are adult men under the age of 40. Deporting them is our top priority. “But by pointing to deportation exemptions, we shouldn’t encourage smugglers to target people with certain characteristics,” he said.
With the new bill announced by the British government on March 7 to prevent irregular migrants from entering the country by boat or boats through the English Channel, migrants are expected to be detained as soon as they are caught.
According to the bill, detained irregular immigrants will be deported to their countries of origin or to safe third countries within 28 days without judicial investigation. Irregular immigrants who have been deported will seek legal rights and seek asylum after being deported.
Those who enter the country illegally will not be granted the right to apply for asylum. (AA)
