UK migrant scheme making it easier to enter country, Brits in uproar
GB News contributor and TV presenter Cristo Foufas reacts to UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s new refugee sponsorship model. “She wants to create an asylum system that’s fit for generations to come, not quite understanding that, I don’t think anyone in the UK wants an asylum system anymore,” Mr Foufas told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “What do we do with the arrivals who are already here? Because the government has been spending millions on hotels … then, there was talk of putting them on army bases. “A lot of people are extremely dubious about the kind of vetting that they might get. “It seems that it is going to make it easier for people to come rather than more difficult.”
