UK's Migrant 'Return Hubs' Stir Controversy

Sir Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) is exploring plans to create "return hubs" in countries like Kosovo for rejected asylum seekers. This suggestion arose amid rising migrant crossings into the UK via small boats, a 37% increase from last year. Although Kosovo shows openness, no formal talks have started. The UK contends migrants bypass "safe" countries, warranting such a move. Critics worry about the ethical implications and international response. This is a pivotal moment in UK's immigration policy, a plans to be highlighted during the Western Balkans leaders meeting in London this autumn.
