In the United Kingdom, political figures including Nigel Farage have called for strict measures to address illegal immigration, emphasizing detention and deportation as the primary solutions. Farage stated that anyone entering the UK illegally will be detained and deported, asserting this approach will deter further illegal arrivals. Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has expressed openness to negotiating returns deals with countries such as Afghanistan and Eritrea, while refraining from criticizing Farage's rhetoric about an 'invasion' by migrants. Despite claims of border control efforts, reports indicate that illegal boat arrivals in the UK have reached a new high. In the United States, lawmakers and officials have highlighted the need for immigration policies that balance enforcement with economic and humanitarian considerations. Representative Nancy Mace introduced the Expedited Removal Expansion Act to empower federal agents to deport individuals unlawfully present in the country without loopholes. The New Democrat Coalition unveiled a plan aimed at securing the border and streamlining legal immigration, contrasting with former President Donald Trump's approach, which was criticized for targeting families and longtime community members. Public discourse also includes discussions on encouraging self-deportation by making clear the consequences of being deported by ICE, such as permanent blacklisting from reentry.
