Solution: Review and improvement of the legal migration system, ensuring it works properly, people have access to it, the hope and ability to migrate legally if the systems works could detract from and reduce the need for illegal routes
Being clear on legal routes and even creating new routes that are mutually beneficial, this might slow down riskier routes
Reduces need for dangerous routes and therefore market drivers for illegal trafficking
reducing the need to resort to dangerous and illegal routes
Improving the system will give clarity so people know how to navigate the route and reduces illegal routes
Requires the depoliticisation of the issue, which is unlikely.
Legal routes working is better for individuals and families
Surely this has been done many times already and still illegal route are in use
My sense is the pressure on people to move will always outstrip even a well functioning legal route. So we still need to anticipate more people coming to uk.
Absolutely! Transparent (and realistic) migration targets and timeframes that are accessible will help.
risk of increased migration
Requires significant investment in time of funding shortfalls across government programmes
Unlikely to pass the ‘Daily Mail’ test - not a vote winner and this is a political issue
Accepts that migration will always take place, reduces the negative narrative around the issue
Requires acknowledgement that the current system is broken
If the goal is to decrease migration to 100k. It would be an exercise to identify and possibly close routes.
This does not help the perceived political challenge of reducing net migration figures.
This is a whole systems approach which could help different parts of UK society to understand how things should happen
