GB News: Labour blasted over 'open invitation' plan to 'fast track' migrants from Afghanistan, Iran and Syria - 'The traffickers are laughing!'
Labour's proposal to fast-track asylum claims from countries with high approval rates, such as Afghanistan and Syria, has drawn criticism for potentially undermining border control. Sir Keir Starmer aims to address the backlog of 120,000 unprocessed claims, but critics argue this may encourage more migrants to seek asylum in the UK.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a £75 million investment in border security, while Migration Watch UK chairman Alp Mehmet warned that the plan could simply shift the burden to local authorities. Labour insists it is working to clear the backlog left by previous administrations.

As the November 5, 2024 presidential election approaches, a stark contrast emerges between Democrat Kamala Harris, who advocates for gun control measures such as an assault weapons ban and universal background checks, and Republican Donald Trump, a firm supporter of the Second Amendment. Harris's campaign emphasizes gun control, while Trump maintains that citizens need firearms for protection.
Trump's consistent defense of gun rights includes his past opposition to an assault weapons ban and his role in appointing pro-Second Amendment justices to the Supreme Court. In contrast, Harris has entertained the idea of expanding the court, which could undermine the current pro-Second Amendment majority.
