Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'In order to rebuild the trust of the public in the immigration system, we must demonstrate that the rules are respected and enforced.
'That is why, as part of the government's plan for change, we have set considerable additional resources for enforcement of immigration and return, so those who have no right here to be here, in particular those who have crimes in Have committed our country, are removed as quickly as possible.
“I want to pay tribute to all immigration enforcement staff and other officials in the home office who tirelessly strive every day to make our return system work firmly, honestly and quickly.”
It comes hours after the Home Office scooped up an increase in the number of illegal migrants that are being arrested.
About 3,930 arrests were carried out via 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers since 5 July when Labor took over power until January 31, in what an increase of 38 percent has been compared with the previous period of 12 months.
Home Office officials said that 609 arrests of illegal employees were made last month, the highest since the figures were collected in 2019.
There were also 828 raids at workplaces suspected of being hired illegally in January, an increase of 556 in the same month last year and from 171 in January 2019.
The government has started releasing details of the raids in the aftermath of polls showing that Labor would lose more seats to the reform than the conservatives.
The Red Wall Group of around 40 Labor MPs has called on its ministers to send a stronger message about immigration to distract the election threat.
