Close to 90 per cent of asylum seekers here travel via the UK, a safe country. The Government is proposing to introduce legislation to implement the EU migration pact. The British home secretary, Shabana Mahmood is spearheading a policy change to tighten up Britain’s laws on asylum seeking. She has described the problem of illegal migration to the UK as “tearing the country apart”. The changes that she is making to tighten up the asylum process is going to open the flood gates and this country probably won’t be able to handle the numbers escaping the UK via Belfast and down to Dublin. The €1 billion spent on housing migrants is only a drop in the ocean of what the country is now facing. [ from Anna Kavanagh ]
