"The agreement for immigrants, Sunak takes stock: Illegal crossings have

Illegal immigrants in Britain continue to be a hot topic on the minds of people around the world.

Recently, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Rishi Sunak, has issued a statement, saying that his plan to remove illegal immigrants is working.

According to him, in the last 6 months, 1,800 emigrants have left for Albania, while he emphasizes that two large containers have been purchased to house up to 1,000 emigrants.

The first large container to hold asylum seekers will dock at Portland Port this month and will house 500 adult men seeking asylum in the UK.

Sunak said these barges "will ease pressure on local communities" and hotel space used to house migrants.

" My message is this - our plan is starting to work. Before I launched my plan in December, the number of illegal entries into the UK by small boats had quadrupled in two years. Some said this problem was intractable or simply a fact of life in the 21st century.

But in the five months since I started the plan, passes are now down 20 percent compared to last year. That's right: passes are down 20 percent.

In December I reached an agreement with Albania, because last year almost a third of all those who arrived in small boats were from that safe European country. Now we have returned 1,800 to Albania in just six months ," said Sunak.
