Laura Kuenssberg found herself facing a wave of criticism after her interview with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. While Cooper discussed the government’s plans to tackle rising immigration, viewers were frustrated with the lack of focus on illegal immigration, a topic that’s been at the forefront of public debate.
As the interview progressed, Kuenssberg did ask Cooper about illegal immigration but didn’t dive deeply into the issue. She asked if foreign nationals committing crimes in the UK would face deportation, to which Cooper explained that if an offender doesn’t receive a custodial sentence, the Home Office wouldn’t be notified. However, Cooper added that they were looking to implement new measures to gather more information about offences to revoke visas, potentially, reported the Express.
