Emmanuel Macron stated Brexit has hindered the UK’s ability to manage illegal migration across the Channel due to the absence of a migratory agreement with the EU. This lack of agreement creates incentives for migrants to attempt the crossing, contrary to Brexit’s intended effects. In response to the situation, Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a 'one in, one out' migrant returns scheme. This plan will allow for the return of small boat migrants, with the UK receiving an asylum seeker in exchange.
"Since Brexit, the UK has no migratory agreement with the EU, creating an incentive to make the crossing, the precise opposite of what Brexit had promised."
"The pair have agreed on a plan to send back small boats migrants, with an asylum seeker being sent to the UK in exchange."
