Britain's conservative government says it will 'push the boundaries of international law' in a harsh new bill legislating the detaining of asylum seekers.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman introduced the legislation to parliament, saying the need for reform was "obvious and urgent".abc.net.au/news/sunak-illegal-migration-bill-introduced-to-uk-parliament/102066506Asylum seekers who land on the shores of the UK would be detained and deported under sweeping new laws introduced by the British Government.
Migrants arriving by boat would also face a permanent ban on lawful re-entry to the UK and ever securing British citizenship, subject to only very narrow exceptions. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made stopping boat arrivals one of his key priorities after the number of asylum seekers arriving on English shores reached 45,000 last year.
"Do not hand over your life savings, do not get into that flimsy dinghy, do not risk your life, because you will not be entitled to a life in the UK." She has previously said the bill would push "the boundaries of international law" without breaking it.
