According to the Daily Express this week, Labour's official statistics illustrate a Government failure to collect over a million fines from hauliers registered abroad. These fines are for being caught smuggling illegal immigrants into Britain. What sort of border security do we have, that this behaviour cannot be controlled?
It is claimed that 9 out of 10 truckers responsible for smuggling human traffic into Britain are overseas operators with no scruples, who abuse the system. The reason is obvious - they can earn up to £1,500 for each person they bring across the Channel so they take risk of being caught. After dropping off their loads they simply depart to their own countries.
Shadow Immigration Minister, Damian Green, blames the Government and strongly feels that these truckers should be punished appropriately. He also informs us that no less than 28,000 migrants were caught trying to sneak into Britain on lorries. Such an important issue needs to be addressed and a solution sought urgently, else faith in our Government will reach zero point.
