Nigel Farage has reignited the immigration debate by claiming that his warnings about a so-called “invasion” of illegal arrivals by small boats were correct. Speaking in Parliament, Farage reminded MPs that five years ago he had urged the government to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and begin immediate deportations of anyone arriving illegally on UK shores. According to him, because those warnings were ignored, the country is now facing the consequences.

Farage said that just today alone, another 600 young men were processed through the Dover arrival center. He even suggested, without evidence, that there could be an Iranian terrorist among them, asking how the government could possibly know who is who. He then turned to the Home Secretary, accusing the government’s “smash the gangs” policy of being a total failure. He questioned why the public should trust anything else ministers say if this core promise hasn’t worked.

In response, the Home Secretary pushed back strongly. She said no one should be making these risky boat journeys, pointing out that such crossings weaken the UK’s border security and put lives in danger. She blamed criminal gangs for running a profitable business by organizing these journeys and insisted that more powerful laws were needed to stop them.

She challenged Farage and his party to support new counterterrorism-style powers being debated in Parliament, which she said would help law enforcement take stronger action against the smuggling networks. She added that in the past, Farage’s party had voted against similar measures and urged them not to repeat that mistake if they truly wanted to fix the border crisis.

The debate comes as small boat crossings continue to rise, putting increased pressure on the government to deliver effective solutions and calm growing public concern.
