Labour's Immigration Stance

Labour's recent proposals on illegal immigration have sparked debate about their effectiveness. The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has outlined a tougher approach, including increased deportations, detention center expansions, and funding for the National Crime Agency to combat gangs. However, a comparison of current plans with historical deportation figures reveals that the targeted deportation goal of 14,000 is significantly lower than past efforts under Gordon Brown's government, which managed to deport 45,000 individuals. Critics argue that these measures will not adequately address the ongoing influx of illegal immigrants or the challenges posed by existing gangs.
