Migration: government priorities

 The legislation which Sunak and Braverman are tabling today punishes refugees and economic migrants indiscriminately - yet again. Yet again, the government has refused to address the real questions: why are they not tackling the people-smugglers directly? Why are they not arresting and putting on trial the rotten apples in the police (both sides of the channel) who, for money, turn a blind eye to the trade? Why are they not doing more to reduce the need for people to leave their homelands - the push factor? And why are not doing anything about the pull factor, employers especially in the building and catering trades who take on undocumented workers at below National Wage levels?
