Summary
For years, politicians have promoted the idea that stricter border controls are the key to stopping undocumented immigration, but research shows this is ineffective. People determined to migrate will find ways to do so, often turning to smugglers when official channels are blocked, creating a cycle of harsher borders and growing desperation. Despite evidence, politicians continue to invest billions in private sector technologies to uphold the illusion of secure borders. Recent research reveals that the UK government has spent over £3.5 billion on a largely privatized system to prevent vulnerable individuals from crossing the English Channel and seeking asylum.
