The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will warn on Wednesday that the UK has lost control of its borders as Western culture is under threat from mass migration.
Across the UK there is lack of integration by certain groups and the governments inability to control the borders is eroding trust with politicians.
The Home Secretary will speak on Wednesday at a summit with Balkan minister in London and will say Europe and the UK has lost control of their borders.
The Balkans is transit route for people traffickers and drug gangs and last year some 22,0000 travelled through the major transit route.
She will discuss the possibility of Return hubs” to try and strike a deal with migration and asylum issues in an attempt to stop illegal migrants landing on UK shores.
Mahmood is expected to say, “The citizens of each of our countries have a very simple expectation of us.
“The public rightly expect that their government will be able to determine who enters their country, and who must leave.
“Today, in this country, and I know in many if not all of yours, that is not the case. And the failure to bring order to our borders is eroding trust not just in us as political leaders… but in the credibility of the state itself.”
The Home Secretary will attack Labour’s opponents and accuse them of turning inwards to make solutions to migration.
She will say, “Illegal migration is a shared threat which requires a strong, joined-up international response.
“To those who think the answer to the challenges that we face is to turn inwards, or back away from international co-operation, I say that in coming together as we are today we will make all of our borders and our countries stronger.
“I am proud that the UK is leading the charge on a co-ordinated response to tackle organised crime and take down the vile people-smuggling gangs who put the value of human lives behind their own profits.”
Chris Philp the shadow home secretary said, “The first nine months of this year have been the worst in history for illegal immigrants crossing the channel.
“The Government is accommodating more illegal immigrants in hotels than at the election, and have only returned a paltry 26 to France – over a time period when 14,000 have arrived.
“This is clearly no deterrent.
“The Conservatives would leave the ECHR which will enable us to remove all illegal immigrants within a week of arrival.
“Then the crossings would soon stop.”
