Before the new legislation, which is anticipated to be announced next week, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned in an interview published on Sunday that anyone entering Britain unlawfully will not be allowed to stay.
Sunak has included halting small boats as one of his five major goals in response to pressure from his own parliamentarians to find a solution to the flow of migrants landing in Britain over the channel from Europe.
Make no mistake: If you enter this country unlawfully, you will not be let to stay, Sunak warned the Mail on Sunday.
Asylum seekers who arrive in Britain currently have the opportunity to do so frequently so that their cases can be heard there.
After more than 45,000 people made the risky crossing last year, a new law to address the issue is scheduled to be introduced on Tuesday, according to the newspaper.
According to official figures, the number of asylum applications to the UK is lower than the average for the European Union.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reached an agreement last year to send thousands of migrants to Rwanda, many of them had traveled more than 4,000 miles (6,400 km) from war-torn Afghanistan, Syria, or other nations.
The first scheduled deportation flight was halted by a last-minute order issued by the European Court of Human Rights, leading to a legal dispute over the policy.
Opponents are attempting to appeal the London High Court’s December decision that it was legal.
Government member Chris Heaton-Harris responded, “I believe so, absolutely,” when asked on Sky News if people entering Britain illegally would be prohibited from requesting asylum.
“Those who enter this country illegally will either be deported back or sent to Rwanda,” the statement reads.
According to The Mail on Sunday, the new law will declare asylum requests made by people arriving on small boats to be inadmissible, and they will be expelled and permanently prohibited from returning.
The sole path to the UK would be a safe and legal route, interior minister Suella Braverman told the Sun on Sunday newspaper. “Our regulations will be simple in their meaning and implementation.
Heaton-Harris asserted that he thought the proposal will result in the availability of more secure and legitimate pathways.
