Global Summit Tackles UK's Illegal Immigration Crisis | JQJO

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer convened a global summit on organized immigration crime, attended by over 40 countries and tech companies, to address the UK's surge in illegal immigration via small boats. He blames fragmented policing and intelligence for the crisis, stating that smugglers exploited weaknesses in the system. The Conservatives criticize Labour's approach, arguing that only deportation policies like the scrapped Rwanda plan will deter illegal crossings. Despite increased deportations and funding for border security, over 6,000 people have crossed the Channel in 2025, a record high. The summit aims to foster international cooperation to combat this multi-billion dollar criminal enterprise.
