According to current data, the British government permitted people to seek asylum through the routes in tiny boats, with the government accepting around 16,000 asylum petitions in a single year.
Channel immigrants received the right to work in Britain
According to a Home Office plan, channel migrants will be allowed to work in industries such as agriculture, construction, and care while obtaining state-subsidized housing.
16,000 asylum seekers were granted asylum
According to Freedom of Information (FOI) data, approximately 16,000 asylum seekers, including those who crossed the Channel in small boats, were granted authorization to work in a single year.
They are paid 80% of the current rate and can work in occupations with a known staff shortage.
Negotiating with the government to contribute to the costs
To preserve their asylum housing, migrants can negotiate with the Home Office to contribute a share of the costs; but, if their weekly earnings exceed £49.13, they will forfeit their £49.13 state subsistence allowance.
Conservative parliamentarians and former Ukip leader Nigel Farage criticized the plan on Friday night, stating it may work as a "pull factor" to encourage illegal immigration to the UK.
"This is a disaster," Mr. Farage told the Telegraph. More will want to come if the traffickers can provide jobs and free lodging. In comparison to this, Rwanda is completely irrelevant.
Anger over the work environment and social care
Despite official protests, numerous European countries, particularly France, have long believed that the United Kingdom's permissive labor and welfare climate encourages migrants to cross the border illegally.
Some Europeans believe that Britain's illicit market is exacerbating the migrant crisis because many illegal migrants are afraid to work there.
Deter boats
This comes as Rishi Sunak prepares for a clash with the House of Lords over his Rwanda Bill, which attempts to deter boats by removing deportation planes from the ground by spring.
The Home Office has declined to provide the number of people who are eligible to work under the system that allows migrants to do so if their application for leave to remain in the UK is still pending one year after it was submitted.
The Telegraph recently obtained Freedom of Information Act data that revealed these findings. They have increased significantly as a result of an extraordinary surge of migrants crossing the Channel and a tenfold increase in the number of asylum seekers awaiting a decision, which has taken more than a year.
