Plans released by the Labour party’s Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the government is considering paying families of failed asylum seekers up to £40,000 to voluntarily return to their countries of origin.
Yes, you read that correctly. £40,000….and this is Labour’s proposed response to the immigration crisis.
In other words, people who enter Britain and who are found to have no legal right to remain there, could now be given tens of thousands of pounds in exchange for leaving the country and going back home….

The moment you tell the world that if you come to Britain, claim asylum, fail that claim, and refuse to leave, you might still receive £40,000 to go home, you have created one of the most extraordinary pull factors imaginable: ‘Come to the United Kingdom. If things don’t work out, we will pay you to leave.’
You do not need to be an economist to understand what happens next. More people will come. Far more. On top of the nearly 200,000 who have already entered Britain illegally on the small boats since 2018.
This is the iron law of immigration policy that our elites refuse to accept: incentives matter. If a system seemingly rewards behaviour, that behaviour will increase.
And Britain’s asylum system is already bursting at the seams because for years it has rewarded the wrong incentives.
Think about the current reality. If you arrive in this country illegally, your current chance of being removed is 4 to 5 per cent. You are placed in taxpayer-funded accommodation. You are given financial support and healthcare. You know you’ll be drawn into a legal process, with free legal aid, that can take years to conclude, during which time you could work illegally.
Now add another incentive.
Even if your asylum claim fails – even if the British state concludes you have no right to remain – there may still be a huge reward at the end of the process.
