I don't see it as semantics. He is equating having no documents with having false ones, but they are not the same thing. He is also assuming that anyone that arrives with false or missing documentation does so because they themselves have decided to do that, rather than it being at the behest (or insistence) of a trafficker.
They had to have documents to get on the plane. Therefore they were false or gotten rid of. Blaming traffickers is a bit of a cop out. When you see the figures it's clear that lots are scaming the system. Majority are coming from within Europe as well so the desperation line is overplayed.
How is it a cop out?
McEntee stated yesterday that more than 80% of people applying for IP are now coming through our open border with the North. With the brits about to start flights to Rwanda can we expect to see the numbers here increase significantly? and there doesn't seem to be a thing she can do to stop it.
Numbers have been increasing since the Rwandan flights were made public
It is a change in direction from saying all should be welcome here,
Just on the dates with odd numbers is the current flip-flopping policy.
