Summary
The Refugee Council suggests implementing a system similar to a U.S. scheme introduced under President Biden, which combined border enforcement with legal pathways for refugees, significantly reducing irregular entries. They recommend focusing the refugee visa program on countries with high refugee approval rates, such as Eritrea, Sudan, and Afghanistan.

The CEO of the Refugee Council emphasized that enforcement alone isn't enough to stop the smugglers, and more legal routes are necessary to prevent further loss of life. While the Home Office expressed concern over the deaths, they emphasized their efforts to protect borders and prevent crossings with France.
