The UK is currently in talks with France over a new migrant deal that could see small boat arrivals returned across the Channel, in exchange for Britain accepting legal asylum seekers with family ties in the country.
The proposed “one-for-one” agreement would mean that for every illegal migrant sent back to France, the UK would take in a legitimate asylum seeker under family reunification rules. The scheme is being pitched as a pilot, but if successful, it could eventually be rolled out across the EU, reported the Express.
