00:00What the government needs to do is stop the small boats coming here.
00:04The problem is that there are still people coming day after day to the UK,
00:08coming because, and I've heard this from migrants themselves,
00:10they think that they're going to come to the UK and they're going to get access to welfare and access
00:14to housing.
00:15That's one reason why we're saying we shouldn't be giving foreign nationals access to welfare
00:20and we shouldn't be giving them access to housing.
00:22Our welfare system and our social housing has to be there as a safety net for British people, not for
00:26foreign nationals.
