Ukraine Response Marred By Asylum Abuse

The government has been criticised for being slow to react to the Ukrainian refugee crisis. But, in our view, while the response may have been cautious, it has also been appropriately generous. Accusing the UK of taking in fewer refugees than countries bordering Ukraine (as the former Danish PM did on BBC Question Time last […]

Help Those Fleeing War. Stop The Scammers

With the ongoing crisis in Ukraine the government has come under fire for its slow reaction on allowing in refugees from the region. Meanwhile scammers pay people smugglers to cross the Channel into Britain with impunity.

Don’t Throw Away The Immigration Rule Book

Once again, Britain’s place as a global leader in humanitarianism is needed, and here at Migration Watch UK we totally support the government’s efforts to offer safety and refuge to those displaced by the monstrous invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin. Pointing to the impact that the arrival of large numbers have on local communities in […]

98% Of Boat Migrants Have No Passport

Nearly every boat migrant arrives in the UK without a passport  As covered by the national press, we published an analysis – based on a freedom of information release – with the bombshell finding that 98% of boat migrants have no passport when they arrive in the UK.

Stop The Asylum Cover Up

Say NO to the government’s Channel crossings cover-up We are only weeks into the new year and already nearly 1000 people have come to Britain illegally in boats. This is a continuing and growing scandal that is simply not being addressed. There has of course been the usual hype about the military tackling the problem or using countries like Ghana (where all knowledge of discussions with the UK government were denied) or Rwanda for offshore processing. And […]
