00:00Frankly, people who enter this country illegally by small boat shouldn't be bringing any family members over.
00:07In fact, everybody crossing the Channel illegally should be immediately returned either to their country of origin, if possible, or to a safe third country if not.
00:16That will then deter people from attempting the crossing in the first place.
00:20We Conservatives tabled a bill in Parliament to do exactly that a few weeks ago, but what did Labour do? They voted against it.
00:27On Labour's watch, numbers crossing the Channel have reached the highest level in history this year.
00:34Their claim to smash the gangs lies in tatters, and their record is appalling.
