UK government to introduce tougher asylum system
By EUobserver
Britain will introduce new rules for those seeking asylum, making it more difficult for refugees entering illegally to stay in the country, UK interior minister Priti Patel said, Reuters reports. "Under our new plan for immigration, if people arrive illegally, they will no longer have the same entitlements as those who arrive legally, and it will be harder for them to stay," Patel said in a statement.
