The people-smugglers' business model

 In Monday's Home Office Questions in the Commons, a minister responded that new legislation aimed at the business model of the people-smugglers was on the way. One hopes that it is better-directed than the previous effort which, by shipping refuge-claimants and economic migrants alike to a third country, punished the victims rather than the perpetrators. It was rather like attacking the business model of those committing banking fraud by freezing what was left of the victims' assets.
