Motion text

That this House expresses grave concern at the continued presence of over one million illegal migrants in the United Kingdom; notes that illegal entry into the country represents a clear breach of national law and undermines the integrity of the UK’s immigration system; further notes the considerable cost to the taxpayer in housing, processing and supporting individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK; recognises the growing public demand for decisive and consistent enforcement of immigration laws; and therefore urges the Government to implement a comprehensive national strategy to identify, detain, and deport all individuals found to be residing in the United Kingdom illegally, and to ensure that such policies are backed by the necessary legislative, diplomatic, logistical and financial resources to restore confidence in the rule of law and the security of our borders.
