Keir Starmer Pressured to Declare ‘National Emergency’ on Illegal Migration as Shocking London Report Reveals Scale: ‘ Deport, Deport!'”
A confidential report by Thames Water reveals that up to one in 12 Londoners might be living in the city illegally. Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has called for drastic action, urging the government to declare a “national emergency” over illegal migration and suggesting that authorities should “round people up and deport” those living unlawfully in the UK.
Speaking on GB News, Lowe said the UK should take a tougher stance, similar to the measures in the United States. He stated, “We need to declare a national emergency, like Trump is doing, and make hard decisions to deport illegal migrants.”
Lowe criticized the Labour Government’s approach to immigration, claiming Prime Minister Keir Starmer is deeply involved in the issue.
He proposed housing illegal migrants in temporary camps on a UK island, with minimal facilities, to discourage them from staying. He suggested that they could then return to their home countries and apply to enter legally.
A report obtained through a Freedom of Information request estimates that approximately 585,000 illegal migrants currently reside in London. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp called the figures “deeply alarming.”
Lowe also suggested adopting Australia’s strict immigration policies, such as stopping migrant boats to deter illegal arrivals. He emphasized that most migrants are economic migrants rather than genuine asylum seekers and expressed concerns about voting rights, claiming illegal migrants could gain full voting privileges after six years.
The Home Office responded to the concerns by highlighting its recent efforts, stating, “We have removed 16,400 illegal migrants in six months, the highest figure in five years.” They also emphasized ongoing work to strengthen global partnerships and tackle criminal gangs involved in small boat crossings.
