'The Sun': The number of illegal Albanian immigrants in Great Britain
Illegal immigrants

The prestigious newspaper "The Sun" has published a report with a significant decrease in Albanian immigrants who cross the border illegally to the United Kingdom.

According to them, the number of Albanians who make these dangerous crossings, through the Channel, has decreased with the start of a rapid departure scheme. According to "The Sun", out of 1099 Albanians who immigrated to Great Britain in the last three months of last year, only 29 were able to cross the Channel in the first three months of this year.

After the coercive policy of the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, about 500 illegal immigrants have returned to Albania. One of the top 5 priorities of the British Conservatives is to fix their problem with illegal immigrants with austerity measures.

Some officials believe bad weather has prevented some of them from leaving the Eastern European country.

These coercive policies from Great Britain are believed to have been "transported" to the gangs that deal with their transportation, who fear that they will be stopped and caught in rafts. They are paid thousands of euros for illegal crossings.

Alp Mehmet, head of Migration Watch, an institute that monitors the flow of migration, said that Albanians have received the message.

"It seems that the Albanian initiators may have received the message - if you come illegally you will not be able to stay. Now let's pass (the message) on to others, of which the highest number in one day this year came on the weekend.”
Home Office figures revealed yesterday that there were 909 Afghan arrivals, around 24 per cent of the total, with 675 Indians arriving by raft.

Conservative MP Kevin Foster said the figures showed the crackdown was "producing results", adding it was essential the Illegal Migration Bill passed through the Commons. The Equality and Human Rights Commission claims the legislation would breach international law.

The issue of the emigration of Albanians to Great Britain has provoked a great debate, due to the harsh statement of the British Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who described the Albanians who go to Britain on dinghies as criminals and invaders. 

We recall that Prime Minister Edi Rama paid an official visit to Great Britain, the first of an Albanian Prime Minister in Downing Street, where he met with his counterpart Rishi Sunak. I want to make sure that our community feels safe was Rama's request, while Sunak praised the progress made on illegal immigration. In discussions and economic cooperation and cyber security.
