Address the issue at the source. Find out why these people are willing to risk their lives to leave and try and fix that. At the very least you could create a safe encampment in their home country where they can go to live, receive aid, food, housing etc. Get the UN involved to protect it or something.
This is kinda the same issue as with arresting homeless people for sleeping rough - it addresses (poorly) the symptom, not the cause.
people migrate illegally from everywhere. you’re suggesting the UK should fix what exactly? every undeveloped nation everywhere? as mentioned, they can barely keep their own things from falling apart right now
I mean I know they fucked up basically everywhere in the past, but it doesn’t look feasible
as another poster said, people are also drawn to the UK to the point of refusing other asylums… I bet the problem would be much smaller if refugees were equally accepted worldwide and willing to spread around, so it’s not exactly one side’s fault necessarily

I mean, not on its own, no, and only those nations from which it’s reciving the bulk of the immigrants. But long term that is the only viable option. As I understand it these are not people who are leaving their country because they particularly want to, they leave because things are so bad at home that literally risking their lives is better than staying. I imagine given the chance they’d prefer to stay at home, so at some point we need to help ensure that’s possible.
In the mean time a refugee camp of sorts would allow them to remain in their own country and provide suitable housing etc, meaning they wouldn’t have to leave in the first place.
