'The Coop' has got this
The Home Office confirmed Labour's new Border Security Command "is gearing up" after the number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats topped 19,000 this year so far.
Yvette Cooper will today reveal plans to recruit 100 new specialist intelligence officers for the National Crime Agency and increase immigration detention spaces in a bid to enable more returns.
According to the Home Office, Labour believes it can achieve "the highest rate of removals of those with no right to be here, including failed asylum seekers" since 2018.
Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper said: "We are taking strong and clear steps to boost our border security and ensure the rules are respected and enforced.
"Our new Border Security Command is already gearing up, with new staff being urgently recruited and additional staff already stationed across Europe. They will work with European enforcement agencies to find every route in to smashing the criminal smuggling gangs organising dangerous boat crossings which undermine our border security and put lives at risk.
Ms Cooper added: "And by increasing enforcement capabilities and returns, we will establish a system that is better controlled and managed, in place of the chaos that has blighted the system for far too long."
So far that's just talk. Lets see it happen and then they can brag about it. And I wonder what the ECHR have to say on this as all they have to do is contest the deportations because they have a cat in England and within two weeks they'll have a paid for council flat in Slough.
