Legislators are reviewing a draft law that would allow the expulsion of ‘irregular’ migrants to their countries of origin. This measure follows statements from the government last year, claiming that the ‘voluntary’ repatriation of over 7,000 migrants had been a success.
The UK government has reached a controversial deal with Tunisia to address migration, raising concerns over its focus on border security and smuggling operations rather than the root causes of migration itself. The emphasis on high-tech surveillance and cracking down on smuggling operations risks overshadowing the underlying humanitarian crisis faced by migrants, ultimately failing to address the socio-economic factors driving their dangerous journeys.
