Entry of refugees to Britain via the English Channel has been banned
The British government has declared it illegal for refugees to enter the country by small boats through the English Channel according to a new law announced today by the British Home Secretary.
Suella Braverman, the British Home Secretary, says this law will prevent boats that bring tens of thousands of people to this country from entering. She also mentioned that her country’s parliament will set a legal limit on the number of asylum seekers.
