As child of immigrants, I understand why people want to come to UK- Sunak

British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has for the umpteenth time restated his vow to end the “legal merry-go-round that has stopped our Rwanda policy” even as he says that as a child of immigrants, he understands why people want to come to the UK.

Boasting about what his government has achieved in the area of reducing irregular immigration into the UK, Sunak said: “This week we’ve taken the tough decisions to secure our borders.

“Immigration is too high.
Illegal migration must end.
Here is what we are doing about it.

“We started the week taking action to bring down net migration.

“Our plans are expected to deliver our biggest ever reduction – cutting numbers by around 300,000.”

Migration, he said will always benefit the UK, but “we must end the abuse of our system and reach a sustainable level.

“We’re ending the legal merry-go-round that has stopped our Rwanda policy from running to date.

“On Tuesday we signed a new treaty that guarantees Rwanda is safe.

“Our deal makes that clear. I will do whatever it takes to fulfil my pledge to stop the boats.

As the child of immigrants, I understand why people want to come to the UK.

But my parents came here legally. We cannot have criminal gangs exploiting the vulnerable.”

This week, he continued: “I announced the toughest anti-illegal immigration law ever to finally stop the boats.

“Our new bill is the toughest anti-illegal immigration law ever introduced.

“It will ensure it is Parliament that controls who comes to this country, not criminal gangs or foreign courts.”
