In full: Suella Braverman calls for reform of ‘absurd’ UN asylum rules

Suella Braverman has warned uncontrolled and illegal migration poses an “existential challenge” to the West. Delivering a speech in Washington DC, the Home Secretary said politicians who fail to control their nation’s borders “will not maintain the consent of the people”. She said: “I’m here in America to talk about a critical and shared global challenge: uncontrolled and illegal migration. “It is an existential challenge for the political and cultural institutions of the West. Just as it is a basic rule of history that nations which cannot defend their borders will not long survive, it is a basic rule of politics that political systems which cannot control their borders will not maintain the consent of the people, and thus not long endure.” Read more here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/09/25/suella-braverman-global-refugee-rules-need-radical-reform/ Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
