DBrexiters’ promise to gain control of the border upon leaving the EU has so far only been half fulfilled – and for many it is the less important half. Since February 2020, EU citizens have not been allowed to settle in the UK without a work visa, which has contributed not least to the labor shortage. even if the system is legal migration Thanks to the new immigration law that is supposed to be more transparent and fair than before, illegal migration has gotten out of hand.

Their number has increased from around 8,000 in 2020 to over 44,000 this year. former british home secretary Priti Patel Summer said that 70 percent of arrivals should be classified not as “genuine asylum seekers” but as “economic migrants”. Many of them had previously applied for asylum in an EU country, often in vain, in Germany. The “invasion” on the south coast of England – in the words of Patel’s successor Suella Braverman – would have been quickly halted if the French had taken back every migrant taken by the British. The dangerous boat crossing would no longer be worthwhile, which would also benefit France in the medium term as fewer migrants would then travel to cross the Channel into the country. But even before Brexit, taking back refugees was difficult.
