Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration into the US on the Mexican border has been praised by shadow home secretary Chris Philp, who has said that measures could work in the UK.
In a major overhaul of the US immigration system, Mr Trump moved to block asylum seekers from entering the country and fortified the Mexican border, as well as expanding the semi-militarised Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to target undocumented migrants.
