Prime Minister Boris Johnson said asylum claimants who arrive in the UK would be electronically tagged to “make sure asylum seekers can’t just vanish into the rest of the country”. Those seeking asylum reportedly arrive in the UK on small boats or in the back of trucks, with Johnson’s electronic tagging system coming days after his attempt to deport refugees on a flight to Rwanda.
Johnson added that he was proud of what the UK had done to welcome people into the country and that it is “a very generous and welcoming country”.
Just in the last years since I’ve been prime minister, we’ve had more than 100,000 people come from Hong Kong, 15,000 Afghans, and many coming from Syria, and now well over 120,000 visas given to the people from Ukraine,” said Johnson.
