2022: Wave of illegal migration to Britain
In 2022, Britain faced an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants from Albania.
Albanians at this time make up almost half of all migrants traveling to the British Isles by boat across the English Channel. In the fight against the so-called "boat crisis," Prime Minister Liz Truss offered to take the Scandinavian route and send them to Rwanda. Now the migration issue will be one of the key policy priorities of the new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
According to various estimates, in 2022, about 14 thousand people entered Britain from Albania. There are an astonishing number of young men among them.
Considering that about 500 thousand men aged 14 to 40 live in Albania, almost every 30th left the country.
The reasons for the mass outflow of the male population of Albania lie not only in the fact that the Balkan state actually lives below the poverty line.
A special role is played by the established ties between the criminal groups of the two countries. Back in 2020, the British Ministry of Justice announced that every tenth criminal in the country is Albanian. And since then, the number of immigrants from the Balkans coming to the country has only been growing.
Moreover, the transportation of fellow citizens to Britain has already become a separate type of criminal services for the Albanian community, on which Albanian organized crime groups earn well.
Speaking in parliament, Rishi Sunak promised to eliminate the queue of asylum applications by the end of 2023 by streamlining the assessment process.
At the same time, the British Ministry of the Interior will hire 400 additional employees to work with the Albanian group of migrants.
At the end of 2022, the Foggy Albion government is spending around £5.6m daily to secure the accommodation of asylum-seekers.
The British have already faced the fact that they have to cancel weddings and other celebrations, as hotels are massively given for the accommodation of illegal immigrants. Instead of hotels, Sunak proposed to resettle Albanians in abandoned recreation centers, military bases and student hostels.
Controlling the strait and stopping the flow of boats carrying illegal immigrants will be carried out by the new joint command of small vessels. It will include the National Crime Agency and Border Force.
At the beginning of 2023, the British Prime Minister also promised to pass a law that "will unequivocally clarify the status of migrants," securing and establishing the presence of illegal immigrants in the country. This will allow them to be detained and extradited to their homeland or taken to third countries.
Albanians are not happy with such prospects. And they express their dissatisfaction in no uncertain terms. In November 2022, a mass protest was held right on Westminster Bridge in London, at which they demanded an apology from Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
She expressed the opinion that the influx of residents of the Balkan country is "the invasion of Albanian illegal immigrants in Britain." Most of all, the demonstrators were outraged that the minister did not say a word about migrants of other nationalities.
