My solution would be,build a detention centre in North France, staff it with Border Force/immigration/French Security officers. All asylum Seekers will be processed there if they are genuine put the on a ferry and ship em to a resettlement site, if they Fail, i.e. Albanian or other safe country, or clearly a military militant threat they are not processed but sent on their way, from 'D' days any boat loads recovered Mid Chanel are returned to the centre and processed. It might cost £500 a year but it will be effective. A bit like the huge compound in Nigeria that processes peeps wanting to travel to the UK legally.and I wouldn't bother with Rwanda.

Id imagine this method would require assistance from the French authorities to deal with the failed individuals but when we are ready and willing to pay them even more for what they have obviously not achieved previously they its not really in their interests to help us out.Lets hope that when Starmer assumes control he applies some common sense to this issue and stop the smugglers business plan in its tracks. We are throwing absolutely huge sums at this issue for no real return, we need to be much smarter/honest/pragmatic/ and take our responsibilities much more seriously for all concerned.
The staff and funding that's been over there for years hasn't made much difference so not sure this will.I do wonder what is it about this country that's so attractive for them versus say France?
BFYP.If you were seeking asylum and you had the choice between Australia and Japan, which would be your preference?
What about those fleeing without papers?
And that is part of the problem it can take an age, because the story has to be verified by someone on the ground where the person has come from.
And fixing the ''problem'' becomes far more expensive than the problem
The question here is what constitutes "illegal". As I understand it , it is not illegal to enter by a small boat and claim asylum even without any papers, it becomes illegal if your claim is rejected.How many have had their claim processed and turned down and removed to a "safe" country?

Agreed, but are they the small boats contingents? I think not, how many land without being escorted in?
