UK and France agree on 'one in, one out' migrant deal amid political tensions
TL;DR Summary
The UK and France are exploring a 'one in, one out' scheme to deter migrant crossings, which involves returning migrants to France in exchange for allowing asylum seekers with strong UK cases to enter Britain. While legally plausible under the UN Refugee Convention, the plan faces significant legal, political, and practical hurdles, including ensuring fairness, avoiding EU re-entry, and scaling the scheme effectively. The success of this pilot remains uncertain, and its impact on stopping migrant boats is yet to be seen.
