Background
Too many people are been trafficked into the UK by gangs, lots are loosing their lives at sea. We have the legal right to protect our borders and our oceans. We already pay sailers and have built amazing ships that are sat around dormant already paid for. We could deploy one of these ships to arrest smugglers, save lives at sea and stop small boat crossings. This would be a massive deterrent to anyone trying to illegally cross and to the smugglers profiting off of peoples bad situations.
