Should the UK Follow Trump's Lead on Immigration?

The UK is facing a significant immigration challenge, with thousands entering the country illegally. This has led to calls for stricter border controls, mirroring the approach taken by former US President Donald Trump. GB News political commentator Matthew Goodwin suggests that the UK should follow a similar path. "This government could do what Donald Trump is doing in the United States," Goodwin stated. His proposed measures include withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights and reforming the UK's Human Rights Act. Goodwin supports his argument with statistics showing a 94% drop in southern border crossings in the US after the implementation of Trump's travel ban. However, critics argue that such measures are discriminatory and may violate international human rights laws. The debate highlights the complex balance between national security and the protection of human rights.
