We won't take migrants posing as refugees': Theresa May tells the UN Britain has a right to control border.

Prime Minister Theresa May attends her first United Nations summit

-Declares the 'unprecedented' and 'uncontrolled' wave of immigration is not in the interests of the UK, the migrants or their home countries
-May rejects demands from UN members for UK to throw open its borders
-Britain has the right to control its borders and turn away the tens of thousands of economic migrants posing as refugees, Theresa May told world leaders today.

At her first United Nations summit, the Prime Minister declared that the 'unprecedented' and 'uncontrolled' wave of immigration into Europe is not in the interests of the UK, the migrants themselves or the countries they leave behind.

Mrs May rejected demands from some UN members and charities for Britain to throw open its borders.

And she criticised the inaction of global leaders that has let the crisis spiral out of control. Government sources said she would stress that – if public support for genuine refugees is to be maintained – the system must be robust in rooting out abuse by economic migrants.

The UN General Assembly, starting in New York today, will kick off two years of negotiations on a new global policy for migration and refugees. The UN is pressing for wealthy nations such as Britain to create more routes for economic migrants from poorer countries.

But Mrs May stressed that the emphasis must be on the 'right of all countries to control their borders' – not the rights of economic migrants to enter the UK seeking work. Government officials said she wanted the UN to accept this must be one of three key principles on immigration policy.

Crucially, she also demanded a distinction is drawn between genuine refugees and economic migrants. The influx into Europe has been dubbed a 'refugee crisis', but Mrs May stressed many of them are in fact seeking work and should be treated as such – with no automatic right to resettlement.

The third rule she sought at meetings with US President Barack Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and others is a declaration that refugees should remain in the first safe country they reach. In the case of Syria, Mrs May said this should be Lebanon or Jordan.

Migrants are seen in a make shift camp known as the 'New Jungle' in Calais, France
The PM also pledged tens of millions of pounds more from the foreign aid budget to support education and other projects in countries close to migrant hotspots.

The aim is to drastically reduce the numbers trying to head to the UK by illegal routes.

A restatement of the so-called 'first country rule' will also help Britain after Brexit. Brussels rules say a person must claim asylum in the first safe country they reach inside the EU, and can be sent back there if they travel onwards.

Backing of this principle by the UN will reduce the temptation for countries such as Italy, Greece or France to simply wave migrants on to Britain once we leave the EU.

Mrs May told the UN she believes her approach will be 'more effective' than the current system.

She said: 'Across the world today, we are seeing unprecedented levels of population movement and we need to work together to find a better response, which focuses our humanitarian efforts on those refugees in desperate need of protection and maintains public confidence in the economic benefits of legal and controlled migration.

'But we cannot simply focus on treating the symptoms of this crisis, we need to address its root causes too. While we must continue our efforts to end conflict, stop persecution and the abuse of human rights, I believe we also need a new, more effective global approach to manage migration.'

Her comments are a rebuttal to the likes of ex-Labour foreign secretary David Miliband, now head of the International Rescue Committee, who yesterday called for Britain to quadruple the number of refugees it grants asylum to. He said the UK should take up to 25,000 a year.

A report by the Overseas Development Institute has predicted the UK faces 43,000 asylum applications this year – costing the public purse £620million. There were about 39,000 asylum claims last year.

Mrs May also called for a tightening of aviation security worldwide in the wake of terrorist atrocities such as the downing of a Russian Metrojet flight from Sharm el-Sheikh last October and the attacks at airports in Brussels and Istanbul this year. The PM will also use her trip to meet US businessmen in a bid to persuade them to invest in post-Brexit Britain.

How many did the UK actually take in? I don't care how many applied...how many were actually let in after verification?

What's your problem? Scared people like you won't be allowed here anymore? Lol. Don't worry those that have been here won't be affected. We are just making sure economic migrants stop acting like refugees when they are not , depriving real desperate refugees from the help they need. For example Pakistanis immigrants fleeing poverty ought to be considered economic migrants not refugees since there is no war per se in Pakistan. They ought to follow normal official route/queue like everybody around the world who wants to come here does. Not trying to jump the queue.
Its not just daily mail or whatever you mean that carried this news, all major news outlets did. So cut your crap.:coffee:

She is totally right,the majority of the so called "refugees" coming in Europe are just economic migrants and opportunists men,who are agressive,defy any laws and would be more a bruden than an advantage.
Those in Calais are just an exemple,and there are many others.
-
@waz If you guys want some statistics,only 10 to 15% of asylum seekers in France got a positive answer to their application,meaning the vast majority of them do not apply to any protection. In the UK last year,~70% saw their applications rejected.
To the rest of the european countries.

Good...10-15% applications approved and a similar amount in the UK means, the system works. That's a good thing - and that should be highlighted.

You've got tabloids lying to the average citizen and fearmongering that tens of thousands of people are simply being let in. When in reality, in the UK and France and most of Europe stringent checks are weeding out those simply trying to take advantage of the chaos.

The majority are refused but they never get deported. They just move underground. We need fewer people to apply in the first place.

We should be processing asylum applications from outside before we allow anyone to even get here, in case their application is successful (after proper vetting/screening) showing they are indeed refugees coming from a war zone and are risk. However, even so we should only consider a very few proportion of these applications, since these 'refugees' should seek asylum in the first peaceful country they get in. I still don't understand why a refugee will leave Syria travel all the way from the middle East avoiding all the peaceful stable countries in the middle East(Turkey, Jordan, KSA, Iran, Qatar, kuwait, Bahrain, etc etc) who have similar culture/way of life/language etc to travel thousands of miles away risking their lives crossing the ocean and many other 'European countries just to come to Britain. These are definitely not refugees, but economic opportunistic migrants.

Unless they come France, Holland or Scandinavia we should not be letting in any refugees.

Same happened in Israel, "refugees" came from africa and passed thro Egypt, on their way toward Israel, they're looking for a job and better life than other countries they pass thro, that's why they're not refugees but illegal workers.
Israel formed hi tech border to block these wave of illegal workers, who might as well be supporting terror, like several incidents in the past

It's clear the majority are here for a free ride. Young men should be turned back with immediate effect, why the hell are they even being heard in the first place? Thanks for the stats.
