A ship that will house up to 500 asylum seekers, when it has capacity for only 200 people, has arrived in England on Tuesday after Parliament approved its bill to curb migration. The Bibby Stockholm barge is already in the port of Portland, off the southwest coast of England, and will be the new ‘jail’ in which the United Kingdom will keep migrants arriving without documentation. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak he does not want them to step on land and there he will lock them up.

Both the ship and the bill are part of Sunak’s strategy to prevent migrants from crossing the English Channel in small boats in a risky way. As the boat arrives in Portland, the UK Parliament has passed the controversial immigration bill to expedite deportations of those who try to enter the country illegally. After the House of Commons has rejected a series of amendments that sought to reduce the harshness of the new legislation, the Conservatives have finally achieved the approval of the House of Lords, so the measure now passes less than King Carlos II for its ratification.

The bill is intended to discourage such travel and will prevent immigrants from apply for asylum in the UK if you arrive illegally. Under the legislation, those caught will be sent home or deported to another safe country and banned from re-entering the UK. The government planned to send some of the unauthorized arrivals to Rwanda, but last month the Court of Appeal ruled it illegal.

Sunak has applauded the passage of the bill, but has ensured that the government must prevail in the high court for the law to work properly. “This is an important part of our work to stop the boats. Obviously, it needs to be combined with the Rwandan partnership,” Sunak spokesman Max Blain said. “It is right that we have this power so that it can be used quickly and we are confident that we will succeed in the challenge in the Supreme Court,” he added.

However, the regulations have met with numerous criticisms from lawyers and Human Rights defense groups. However, it is especially popular with the more conservative ‘Tories’.
