WE must fix our broken asylum system fast, as the number of people risking their lives to make the dangerous Channel crossing continues to go up and up and up.
Stopping the abuse of the system and speeding up the return of illegal immigrants must be a key priority for the new PM.
Having spoken with the Prime Minister and Home Secretary, I know solving this problem is a priority for them both, but we need to deliver results now.
The number of people coming in small boats from Albania alone has risen to a staggering 40 per cent of all Channel crossings between May and September this year.
We have seen more than 10,000 adult males from Albania aged 18 to 40 come here and try to take advantage of our generous asylum system – or simply vanish into the black economy. Others will take part in criminality.
