Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with UK immigration lawyer Harjap Singh Bhangal over Labour’s plans to assess 100,000 asylum claims.
It comes after Home Office figures showed nearly 1,500 migrants had arrived in the UK on small boats across the Channel in one week.
Some 1,499 people made the journey in 27 boats from July 15 to 21, while the French coastguard confirmed two people died amid rescue operations off the northern French coast.
The maritime prefecture also said on Sunday that a further 71 migrants were saved in the Channel, but that some travellers on the boat who were not requesting assistance were allowed to continue the journey.
Harjap tells Julia: “They’re not going to be a burden on us.”
Julia responds: “But they will be because they won’t be able to pay the bills!”
