Part 4/10:
Experts and commentators argue that the root of the problem lies in governmental failure to enforce immigration controls. Countries have struggled to stem illegal immigration due to inadequate policies and enforcement mechanisms. For example, Australia has successfully implemented policies to turn back boats carrying migrants from Indonesia, thereby discouraging illegal crossings and dismantling the people smuggling operations.
In contrast, both British and French authorities have been criticized for their ineffectiveness. The British government, both under Conservative and Labour administrations, is seen as lacking the strategic approach needed to manage migration flows. This failure has allowed illegal crossings and undocumented migration to persist, exacerbating community tensions.
