Barge that will house around 500 asylum seekers arrives in England after Parliament passes migration bill
Fox News
England's Parliament recently passed a bill that will attempt to curb migration. A barge that can carry 500 migrants recently arrived in the country.
The boat and the bill are both parts of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s strategy to stop migrants from making risky English Channel crossings in small boats. The legislation will become law after receiving the assent of King Charles III.
The Conservative government has pledged to "stop the boats" — overcrowded dinghies and other small craft that cross from northern France carrying migrants who hope to live in the U.K. More than 45,000 people crossed the Channel to Britain in 2022; several died in the attempt.
