A minister in the cabinet said that the British army focuses on defending the nation rather than preventing asylum seekers from crossing the channel.
US President Donald Trump suggested that military intervention can be used to deal with illegal immigration to the United Kingdom during his visit this week.
But commercial secretary Peter Kyle rejected this call, and the BBC told breakfast that the UK border force bears a specific responsibility for the UK borders.
Hundreds of immigrants tried to cross the channel earlier today, as it was deported by the government “One in, One Out” with France.
But Trump suggested that the military force was a better deterrent than the Labor Party government approach to diplomatic negotiations that agree to the returns and tighten the court guidance.
Speaking alongside Sir Kerr Starmer at a press conference in the residence game in the country of the Prime Minister, Trump indicated that this force was necessary as illegal immigration “destroying countries from within.”
He said: “You have people coming and told the Prime Minister that I will stop him, and it does not matter if I call for the army, so it does not matter what you use.”
When asked about the claims of the American President, Kyle told BBC breakfast: “Well, what he suggested is that the army is used, but we have the power force in the UK that has been established and has been strengthened and strengthened and has new powers under this government.
“The navy actually has a working relationship with the power force in the United Kingdom, and the navy can be called if necessary, so we have the functional relationship that we need between our army and maintain our borders safe and safe.
“But what we really need at the present time is that our army focuses on all these major issues all over the world, regarding the national defense directly.”
“Various geography”
Trump has released a series of executive orders that carry out a wide ban on resorting to migrants entering the southern border and sent forces to help border security efforts.
The arrest of migrants has decreased by the American border patrol since Trump took office.
Conservatives and Reforms call the UK to take more rigorous action on immigration, with reform they say it will prohibit anyone who comes to the United Kingdom on small boats from demanding asylum.
None of the two sides suggested the use of military force, although Nigel Varage said that the reform government would provide small boats to France “As a final resort absolute.”
Ministry of Defense Recently said Military assets were purchased for the defense tasks “and they were” not improved “for use in dealing with illegal immigration.
General Sir Richard Barons, commander of the former joint forces in the United Kingdom, warned that the British army’s involvement would be limited to the “very different geography” involved in immigration flows.
He spoke to the world tonight on the BBC 4 radio, adding: “I do not think France will be very excited about the British forces on the French beaches, unless it is coordinated with great care.”
He added that it is unlikely that the army “adds a lot” to the current efforts to discover boats using drones.
“When migrants arrive in the United Kingdom, the Ministry of Interior has a system to collect them and the army will add a workforce, but they will not make the problem different.”
The new Interior Minister, Shabana Mahmoud, pledged to fight what he called “claims at the last minute, at the last minute,” and Kyle described it as “stress in something” to ensure that the pilot’s scheme is one in one to return the immigrants was successful.
“We make sure that we are getting the largest possible number of people, they do not have the right to return here as quickly as possible,” he said, adding that there are “many cases” in court.
In response to a question about whether there is any targeted personality of the number of returns, Kyle said: “Our goal is to make sure that everyone who comes to our beach and has no right to stay from the country, and this is our goal.
“We want to get a full grip on the system, we want to make sure people see a working system that is rapidly, efficient and rapidly that people do not come here in the first place, and this is the deterrent that we need.”
There are currently about 100 men who have arrived in the United Kingdom with a small boat in immigration removal centers near Heathrow and can be transferred to France by the plan.
The Ministry of the Interior said that more deportation trips were planned next week and a government appeal was launched, aiming to limit the time when migrants must provide evidence to challenge their removal.
More than 5,500 migrants have arrived in the United Kingdom since the plan entered into force at the beginning of August, but the government hopes that continuous removal trips will be a deterrent.
