Did the Asylum Bill Work?

Asylum claim fell under blanket. Number of fail asylum seekers who were removed from the country jumped considerably. But in the long run, there were three big issues with blanket's approach. The whole notion of deterrence as a policy goal is floored all that new security chtecture around calais. And crucially, and this is the third big issue, that idea became entrenched somewhere else too, inside the home office. There's a general political feeling that asylum seekers are trying it on.
