00:00We're seeing a terrible situation at the moment. 7,042 people have arrived illegally on dinghies from Eritrea. Only two
00:09of them have been removed. 4,490 from Afghanistan broke into this country illegally. Only one has been removed. What
00:16message does that send to the world?
00:18The only way to resolve this is to have a real deterrent. People who break into the country, who enter
00:23illegally, need to be told and know that they will be detained and deported from this country. Once that happens,
00:31people will stop arriving.
