UK touts a clampdown on illegal working as it seeks to look tough on immigration

Associated Press  

LONDON — The British government on Monday touted its success in raiding businesses that employ unauthorized workers and deporting thousands of migrants with no right to stay in the U.K., as it moved to strengthen law-enforcement powers against people-smuggling gangs. But for migrants’ groups, and some Labour Party members, the images uncomfortably recall a previous Conservative government’s pledge to make Britain a “hostile environment” for illegal migration. “It’s important that we show what we are doing and it’s important that we send messages to people who may have been sold lies about what will await them in the U.K. if they get themselves smuggled in.” A tough new immigration bill likely to pass The government says the perception that it’s easy to find work in Britain is a “dangerous draw” for migrants who try to cross the English Channel on small boats. “We cannot allow the criminal gangs to end up putting life at risk in this way or to undermine our border security,” Cooper told lawmakers in the House of Commons.” She said it’s vital that “governments, not gangs, choose who enters our country.” It will also formally scrap the Safety of Rwanda Act, which underpinned the previous Conservative government’s contentious plan to send some asylum-seekers who reach Britain by boat on a one-way trip to Rwanda. The Conservatives, meanwhile, called it “a weak bill that won’t stop the boats.” Support for anti-immigrant Reform party on the rise Labour won a landslide election victory just seven months ago, but the government’s popularity has slumped and polls suggest a surge in support for Reform U.K., the populist anti-immigrant party led by Nigel Farage.

There is a scene at the end of George Orwell’s Animal Farm in which the farmyard animals see the pigs conversing with the humans, and realise they can’t tell the difference between the two.
