United States: Migrant Detention Camps

Lord Elton Excerpts

Tuesday 16th July 2019 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Courtown]

My Lords, the right reverend Prelate makes some good points. Our long-standing position on our own immigration system is that it should bring control, be fair to those who are here legally and contribute, and deal effectively with those who are here illegally.

[Lord Elton (Con)]

My Lords, have my noble friend and his colleagues noted that whereas a reassuringly large and vocal number of the United States population are complaining about this, a worryingly large number of the population of the United States are acquiescently silent?

[The Earl of Courtown]

My Lords, as I said before, United States immigration policy is for the United States.
