Well, we've hammered climate change/renewable energy and covid in various threads, time we looked at the latest hot topic: immigration.
Cruella Patel has had 2 years or so to "fix" immigration and said recently it takes time. Since the same old plans keep cropping up which seem to be mainly to blame France, maybe a different approach is needed? What country would allow foreign police to patrol their shores - not one, so stop suggesting it BoZo. Why should France take the immigrants back? We aren't in the EU, so stop suggesting that too.
There is an interesting thread on reddit that was written by a Kurd on why immigrants want to come to the UK and not Germany.

In a nutshell it says that Germany requires language proficiency and in the UK it's easy to join the black market and work without paying taxes.
Maybe we need to look at who is employing these people and/or introduce an ID system to make it harder to work illegally. It seems peculiar that we are complaining that there aren't enough workers when there's a steady stream wanting to come here and work. I guess it's the "take back control thing" which doesn't seem to working anyway.
