The UK should follow the example of the United States and involve the military in protecting the state border from illegal immigrants. The corresponding statement was made by US President Donald Trump on October 14. “The same thing. And you have an advantage, because, you know, you have so much sea,” the politician said.
The UK record for the number of asylum applications from migrants shows a significant increase in 2024, with over 108 thousand requests, representing a 28% rise compared to 2023. The last record was set in 2002, when 103 thousand requests were made.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s plan to introduce digital identity cards aims to reduce illegal migration by issuing certificates to every person with the legal right to live in the UK.
