Daily Mail's front page reported that official UK data shows that a record 110,000 illegal immigrants have applied for asylum in the UK since the Labour Party won last year's election and took office.
The issue of illegal immigration has become the top priority for the UK government.
Experts analyze that the core reasons for the prominent issue of illegal immigration in the UK are concentrated in a combination of factors such as legal loopholes caused by Brexit, economic attractiveness, and failure of border control.
1. Legal and border control loopholes after Brexit
'Brexit' led to the absence of migration agreements: After leaving the EU, the UK lacks formal agreements with the EU on migration issues, creating legal loopholes, making it difficult to coordinate border control between the UK and France, and the route of illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel has not been effectively blocked.
2. Deportation mechanism failure: Before Brexit, the UK could deport illegal immigrants back to the first EU country they entered through the EU's Dublin Regulation, but after Brexit, this mechanism failed, and the UK needs to negotiate deportation individually with EU countries, greatly reducing efficiency.
