Burnham Criticizes Home Office: 'Immigration Needs Control'

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham criticizes the Home Offices handling of asylum seekers, accusing them of failing and needing a system overhaul. He argues that the previous and current governments have let immigration drift and that local areas like Greater Manchester are not consulted. Burnham, a former Home Office worker, believes a stronger, more controlled immigration system is necessary, but hes critical of the reliance on hotels for accommodation. He also expresses dissatisfaction with Brexits impact on immigration control and advocates for stricter rules and oversight. Despite his calls for control, Burnham acknowledges the value immigrants bring to the UK, particularly in healthcare, and seeks a balanced approach.
