OPINION
The small boats crisis has pushed border control up the political agenda (Image: Getty)
Britain is a generous nation, but Britons are not naive. Immigration must be controlled, and it must serve the interests of the British people.
Because, right now, our border security is under threat. The threat of activist judges rewriting our laws to allow migrants from across the world to flood into our country based on novel interpretations of human rights law.

Men and women across this country know this to be reckless.
Yet the judges do not care; their activism comes before common sense.
And that is why the Labour Government must act now to restore parliament sovereignty over the border.

Strengthen our immigration laws, end the loopholes, and ensure that only those who contribute to our nation’s future may stay here.
Our current system is failing.
Recent reports, many in this newspaper, have shown scandalously absurd immigration claims being granted, without thought to the implications (both in terms of cost and precedent) they have led to.
This week, it was reported that one UK resident had been allowed to bring in six relatives, some of whom they had never met, into the country because they lived in Gaza.
Other cases have seen how deportations have been halted because an illegal migrant’s son ‘only ate chicken nuggets’.
A more recent case showed a woman could not be deported because she was part of a Nigeria-designated terrorist organisation she had joined with the express intent of evading deportation.
This system is quite clearly mad.
Not only does it allow for the floodgates to open and millions upon millions of migrants to be allowed in from across the world under increasingly spurious claims, but it is being further watered down by this Labour Government.
Their Border Bill undoes any attempt made at reform.
It does not contain a deterrent.
It does not have a hard cap on numbers.
It creates a pathway to citizenship for criminal migrants.
Yvette Cooper and Sir Keir Starmer may stand in the House of Commons and talk tough.
But the truth is they are actively aiding and abetting people trafficking gangs and the influx of migrants seeking access to our country’s resources and stability so they can please inner London lefties around the polite conversation of a dinner party.
Yet, a new approach is possible.
The Conservative Party is under new leadership, Kemi and I are not afraid to grasp this issue - and clear out the cobwebs in a system that has long since broken down.
Our plan is simple, common sense.
We must make it so that migrants who come here legally do so, knowing full well that if they do not contribute and if they do not integrate into our society and culture, they must leave.
So, no social housing.
No benefits.
No exceptions.
And we must make it so that the vile people trafficking gangs get more than just a slap on the wrist.
Their entire ‘business model’ must be upended.
If you land on these shores illegally, you must find yourself conveyed to a third safe country immediately.
We must make it so there is no incentive whatsoever to make that crossing.
And it must be parliament, not activist judges, supported by lefty lawyers who seem hell-bent on flexing our laws, that decide who can come into this country.

Meanwhile, Labour’s approach to immigration is soft on borders and soft on the criminals who seek to abuse them.
They scrapped the deterrent, and are plotting to scrap the Illegal migration Act, opening their paper-thin changes to ever more spurious legal challenges.
They weakened salary thresholds, making it easier for low-wage migration to continue to rise.
They have failed to set a binding cap on immigration figures.
And they won’t address human rights law abuses, allowing foolish and dangerous rulings to undermine our parliament.
Keir Starmer has always been more concerned with satiating his lefty lawyer friends than standing up for our nation.

But the British people want a strong border, and so do we.
We will fight to take back control, ensuring immigration is fair and that parliament, not the courts, decide our future.
We must act now before it is too late.
