Illegal immigration should be treated as terrorism on a world scale if it has to be cut, Sir Keir Starmer warned today.
The Labor Prime Minister used an international top in London to demand more action against criminal gangs who benefit from trading large numbers of people, including the channel.
The prime minister, which is under pressure above record figures that make the journey of the continent to date this year, said the scale of the problem 'To be honest, makes me angry because it is unfair for ordinary working people who pay the price '.
He also took a wipe to the Tories and burned the Rwanda Deportation Scheme a 'gimmick' who would have removed only 300 people from the UK.
He revealed that 24,000 foreigners were deported since he became PM – most for eight years.
“We must take all the powers that we have at our disposal in almost the same way as we do against terrorism,” he said.
“I just don't believe that organized immigration crime cannot be tackled.
“So we have to combine our resources, share intelligence and tactics and tackle the problem upstream with every step of the smuggling trip, from North Africa and the middle -east to the main streets of our biggest cities.”
Countries such as Albania, Vietnam and Iraq – where migrants have traveled the UK – will participate in the conversations that are the first of their species, alongside representatives from France, the US and China.

The prime minister called on the 40 countries that gather in London on Monday and Tuesday to work together to stop people smuggling gangs in the same way as they terrorists.
Write in today's daily mail, the prime minister says that international cooperation is the 'basis' of securing the boundaries of Great Britain. About £ 30 million in financing will be aimed at tackling supply chains, illegal finances and human trafficking routes in Europe, the Balkans, Asia and Africa.
An extra £ 3 million will increase the capacity of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to continue smugglers and to expand its international footprint.
But the tories have doubted the plan and said that the government 'has lost control' of the Great -Britain borders after record channel transitions in the first part of this year.
Approximately 6,642 migrants have so far crossed the channel in 119 boats, including more than 4,000 this month alone.
Developments aimed at tackling illegal migration prior to the meeting include:
- The government will expand right to work controls to cover employees in the gig economy by making changes to border security, asylum and immigration account. Companies that do not perform the checks can be fined a maximum of £ 60,000, or are confronted with closures, disqualifications from director and even up to five years in prison.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper indicated that she wanted to fight the number of people who have arrived at a student or work visa in the UK in the UK and have demanded asylum since then.
- The government is investigating how Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the right to family life applies to migration cases, said Mrs. Cooper. Various deportation attempts have stopped how the EVRR clause was interpreted in British legislation. Ministers have looked at a more difficult approach in Denmark for inspiration.
- About £ 1 million in British financing will go to reinforced efforts to row people Kingpins in the Kurdistan region in Iraqi smuggling, the home office announced.
- The VK has launched an advertising campaign about Vietnamese social media and the Messenger app Zalo, warned people of crumbling the trust in an attempt to reduce irregular migration from the Southeast Asian country.
The Prime Minister opened the top in Lancaster House in London and said: 'Illegal migration is a huge engine of global uncertainty. It undermines our ability to determine who comes here, and that makes people angry.
'To be honest, it makes me angry, because it is unfair for ordinary people who pay the price – from the costs of hotels, to our public services that struggle under the tension.
“And it is unfair on the illegal migrants themselves, because these are vulnerable people who are ruthlessly exploited by mean gangs.”
