    THREAD: The number of illegal small boat crossings is appalling and unacceptably high. The figures are shameful. France and other EU states are safe countries. Genuine refugees should claim asylum there, not risk their lives and break the law by coming to the UK.pic.twitter.com/qy2ykYicvl

        I am working to make this route unviable. This involves: 1⃣ Stopping the boats leaving France in the first place 2⃣ Intercepting boats and returning those attempting to make a crossing This is complex to do and we face serious legislative, legal and operational barriers.

        We also need the cooperation of the French to intercept boats and return migrants back to France. I know that when the British people say they want to take back control of our borders – this is exactly what they mean.

        How do you expect asylum seekers to arrive other than by rubber dinghy!?? A crossing is not illegal. You know very well that under the Refugee Convention (that we helped write), they are absolutely within their rights to do so. If you care, arrange organised boats from Calais.

        Everyone tweeting “France” in the replies, please familiarise yourselves with the law. Read it, then come back if you still feel like debating. https://fullfact.org/immigration/refugees-first-safe-country/ …

        You have been promising to fix this for a year. Please put an end to this madness. we need action right now. Order the UK Border Farce to immediately halt all ferry service activities and start turning round the boats. Kick the illegals out of hotels and put in prison

        Priti, I need immunotherapy cancer treatment or I will be dead within a year. My trial was cancelled as you needed the bed for Covid patients. It’s obvious you can’t pay for my treatment (a mere £100k) when you are spending billions on people who are economic migrants.

        This Government with its nearly 80 seat majority has my support until 1st January 2021. If after that time me and a great many of the Great British Public do not see real efforts to stem this 'invasion'. That support will diminish real fast @pritipatel

        Be a nice idea if we didn't indirectly bomb their countries to smithereens by selling arms to the Saudis then. Just a thought. #ThinkThingsThrough.
