UPDATE
You can read the background to our immigration plans here.
Last night our flagship Rwanda Bill cleared its final hurdle after a protracted battle with the Lords, when Labour peers finally abandoned their eleventh-hour efforts to wreck it.
Our Cumbrian Labour Peers voted continually to block the bill.
Labour used every trick in the book to try keep the boats coming. They want more illegal migration not less.
The move is intended to deter them from risking their lives in small boats on the English Channel, break the business model of criminal gangs, and to take back control of our borders.
Asylum claims will now be processed in Rwanda where migrants could be granted refugee status and permitted to stay, removing the draw that encourages them to cross through multiple safe countries - asylum in the UK.
The first flights for Rwanda are scheduled to leave in the next 10 to 12 weeks, with multiple flights every month over the summer and beyond until the boats are stopped.
Labour have voted against measures to tackle illegal migration more than 135 times and want to scrap the Rwanda scheme - now a key manifesto pledge of theirs - regardless of the impact of the scheme on Channel crossings.
Yet they have offered no alternative. They have no plan.
For as long as this route is viable, people will keep coming, and this is why Rwanda matters. Without a safe third country there is no option for removal. They're simply not being honest with people.
The only way to stop the boats is to remove the incentive to come – by making clear that if you come here illegally, you will not be allowed to stay.
This legislation will discourage migrants from making perilous crossings and will break the business model of the criminal gangs exploiting them.
The Conservatives are the only Party committed to stopping the boats. That’s why Rishi Sunak kept Parliament working after midnight last night until the Rwanda Bill was passed - meaning illegal migrants who come here will not stay
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I am tracking general changes in people's views on immigration, so even if you've completed a similar survey before I want to hear from you again. Please tell me your thoughts on immigration below.
I know that we still have a lot of work to do, and your views influence my work in Westminster as our plans for immigration are implemented.
