Navigating the Challenges of Immigration Policy

A government deportation deal with France – designed to deter small boat crossings – has been beset by delays and legal challenges.   
 
The first few migrants detained in Dover as part of the so-called one-in-one-out scheme were meant to be on a flight to France on Monday. That didn’t happen.   
 
And even when the first deportations do begin, there is a cap on the number of people who can be returned. So, what is the government trying to achieve?   
 
Danny Shaw, former adviser to Yvette Cooper – who was home secretary until last week – explains what the policy is and how it should work. Niall is also joined by Sky’s community correspondent, Lisa Holland, who is awaiting arrivals in France.
