The one in, one out migrant deal announced by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron allows migrants to be exchanged—one sent back for one allowed in. This agreement has faced condemnation from refugee charities and campaign groups. Critics are concerned that the plan follows far-right narratives and commodifies humans. Additionally, organizations like the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants warn it could lead to increased risks for migrants by escalating dangers associated with crossing the Channel. The International Rescue Committee similarly views the policy as a step in the wrong direction for humanitarian efforts.
Under the one in, one out migrant deal announced by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and President Emmanuel Macron, migrants are traded between countries, raising ethical concerns.
Refugee charities including the Migrants' Rights Network condemned the deal, accusing the government of capitulating to racist, far-right narratives in the treatment of migrants.
The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants warned that the new migrant deal would exacerbate risks, threatening lives through its enforcement of boat interceptions.
The International Rescue Committee labeled the migrant agreement as another harmful step, emphasizing that it contributes to the ongoing struggles faced by vulnerable groups.
