Watching the BBC News tonight about trying to stop migrant workers from coming from France and hearing that 50,000 migrants applications are not being reviewed plus the fact that Sunak wants to increase the defence budget to 2.5 % of GDP. It’s a very difficult situation but maybe try this. After an initial assessment of qualifications, those that do not have the required skills (Medical etc) place them into the forces for two years. They will immediately have a home, a job, a future career. They will not be stuck in hotels or on barges. They will learn British values. You can monitor them and easily find out if there are any dodgy ones. When, or if, they want to come out the forces after two years they will, at least, have contributed to the Country (tax etc) and learned a trade. My Dad had to work in the army when he was in his teens as a conscript and he enjoyed it. He always told us about his time on Christmas Island.
Most of these people are desperate (some aren’t) but people (especially kids) should not be dying because of traffickers in France. This must be a better solution than just sending people back to Rwanda?
