Andrew Marr takes a forensic look at the ethics and politics behind the "stop the boats" policy Rishi Sunak is championing.

"Stop the Boats. The big story tonight is about democracy, law, morality and raw politics as well," he said on LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr.

"Let's start with democracy. According to the polls the Rwandan policy is relatively popular: 46% of people in the last poll I saw supported it, against 27% who opposed it.

"By the way, nearly half, 48% also said it wouldn't work, proving we are, how can I put this, a complicated lot. Last night the policy has been stopped in its tracks by amendments in the House of Lords, the unelected chamber of course, and today by the High Court who decided that the policy is unlawful since refugees sent to Rwanda wouldnt be safe because they could be sent back to where theyd fled from.

"It was only a two to one decision and the prime minister Rishi Sunak said straight away he'd try to appeal.

But the judges after four days of intense argument insisted they hadn't been being political but purely looking at the law.

"And whatever the state of opinion polls, we do live in a complex democracy of countervailing forces, in which the courts have always played a role in restraining politicians.

"Then there's the House of Lords where, late last night, peers inflicted a series of defeats on the bill which would put the Rwanda policy into effect.

"Particularly damaging was an amendment from the Labour peer and civil rights lawyer Shami Chakrabarti insisting the government abide by international obligations including the 1951 Geneva refugee convention - which might seem innocuous, but which ministers insist this was a wrecking amendment.

"Rishi Sunak made "stop the boats" central to his five-point plan for the country. But, so far, not very much - not a new deal with the French, nor a promise to speed up asylum claims - has dramatically cut the numbers of people crossing the Channel.

You can also listen to the podcast Tonight with Andrew Marr only on Global Player.

"So the threat of being sent to Rwanda seems central to his hopes of redeeming that pledge of stopping the boats. It wasn't in the last Tory election manifesto, mind you which in 2019 promised to bring in refugees, and I quote, make the immigration system more fair and compassionate.

"But for some on the right, the combination of unelected peers and judges preventing this policy from going ahead isnt an embarrassment; its a golden opportunity.

"Rather than admit failure on the boats policy ahead of an election the government can now simply blame lefty liberal lawyers, the metropolitan elite, the blob, for frustrating the will of the people.

"But let's turn finally to the morality of this, because at its heart todays isn't really a story about legal judgements or polling or votes in the Lords, still less election tactics. It's about actual human beings, not numbers, people as real as you and me, who have made their way here and want to stay.

"Should we let in everyone? No. Should we build a system that is able, quickly and fairly, to assess which asylum seekers are genuinely in danger, while we continue to work with our neighbours to stop people coming across the Channel? For sure.

"That's a hard, slow slog. That won't shift votes. But I want to end on a note of guarded optimism. In a complicated, stroppy democracy like ours, when something big, unusual, and controversial is proposed by any government, it's right that its questioned and challenged - that it isn't just idly waved through. And behind the headlines, that is exactly what's happening right now."

Stop the boats? How Andrew Marr would tackle the migrant crisis - LBC

This is part four in a series about the toll that the Biden Administrations intentional promotion of illegal immigration is taking on the states and the public.[ReadPart 1 (national overview);Part 2 (Texas);andPart 3 (Florida).]

As the border crisis persists, and illegal aliens disperse into every congressional district in the country, each state is affected by the financial strain of mass illegal immigration.

The state of New York, which welcomes illegal aliens with sanctuary policies, is now witnessing the toll mass illegal immigration takes on its hospitals, education systems, and, most importantly, its residents.

A recent analysis reveals that the Empire State bears an astounding annual cost of $9.9 billion in government services that benefit more than 1 million illegal aliens and their approximately 372,000 U.S.-born children.

Within that figure, a significant portion is allocated to educational services. Specifically, New York dedicates $4.65 billion to educate illegal aliens, with $226 million directed toward their discounted in-state college tuition. Additionally, $1.75 billion is allocated to law enforcement, legal, and correctional services. Health care expenses and public assistance amount to an additional $3.5 billion.

That translates to an average cost of $6,846 per illegal alien, imposing an additional burden of $1,321 on each New York household.

Since last spring, New York City has faced a tsunami of illegal migrant arrivals, straining the citys taxpayers. The citys budget director, Jacques Jiha, estimates that residents will need to contribute an additional $4.2 billion by next year to address the challenges posed by this migrant crisis.

With an estimated 1,000 illegal aliens arriving weekly in the Big Apple, the city currently spends $8 million daily to house them. Mayor Eric Adams argues that it is unfair and demands other counties assistance, but many counties, having witnessed the turmoil caused by sanctuary policies, are refusing to comply.

In response, Adams has filed lawsuits against more than 30 counties for issuing emergency executive orders that prevent hotels from housing illegal aliens.

What is truly unfair are the sanctuary policies of New York City.

Those policies attract illegal aliens to the state and strain its resources. Adams has contributed to the crisis by making it easier for illegal aliens to reside longer within the city.

A nationwide study concluded that an increase in population leads to an increase in crime rates. New York City witnessed a 22.4% surge in crime between 2021 and 2022, underscoring the human consequences that sanctuary policies, coupled with a soft-on-crime approach, often overlook.

Tragic incidents have occurred within makeshift migrant facilities, such as the case of a four-month-old girl from Ecuador found unresponsive and later pronounced dead. The same hotel has witnessed 10 drunken illegal aliens arrested for assault and disorderly conduct. Reports indicate that illegal aliens camp outside of hotels instead of seeking refuge in migrant shelters, resulting in an environment hotel employees state is rife with violence, sexual misconduct, and drug use.

To alleviate pressure on the shelter system, the city has partnered with houses of worship, paying $125 per migrant, per night, to 50 participating churches. This partnership is expected to expand, with each church housing up to 1,000 male migrants, costing $54,000 daily.

Additionally, hotels are paid an average of $256 per night to house illegal aliens. That arrangement often leads to a surge in hotel prices for the government and regular hotel customers alike, consequently benefiting the hospitality sector while compromising public safety.

With hotels being used to accommodate illegal aliens, the thriving tourism industry of New York is now facing significant risk. New York City attracts an impressive influx of about 70 million tourists annually, generating an astounding economic impact of more than $80 billion. Concerns surrounding tourism has been expressed by Adams, who recognizes the challenges faced by tourists in locating available hotel accommodations.

New Yorks sanctuary policies have become extraordinarily costly, and Adams has been forced to cut city services to afford them. That includes reductions in subsidized day care, library hours, meals for senior citizens, reentry programs for released inmates, and even the right to shelter for the homeless.

In the process, it sets a dangerous precedent: New York prioritizes harboring illegal aliens over implementing policies that protect its legal residents.

Despite the cost, the city remains steadfast in its commitment to continue with those initiatives. Adams is floating a plan to send 100 illegal aliens to community colleges, with taxpayers covering the $1.2 million cost.

In 2022, the state of New York granted full Medicaid coverage to illegal aliens over the age of 65, costing more than $20,000 per enrollee annually. New York's statewide Medicaid coverage is extensive, encompassing expensive treatments, such as chemotherapy and dialysis, all paid for by taxpayers.

Adams called on the Biden administration for comprehensive immigration reform and nationwide decompression strategies; that is, the forced relocation of illegal aliens across the nation.

The most effective "decompression strategy" would be the elimination of sanctuary and open-border policies, along with the elimination of financial incentives that attract illegal aliens to the Empire State specifically, and to the United States generally.

Americans have expressed their dissatisfaction with unrestricted illegal immigration. Its crucial that the American people, together with Congress, ensure that the Biden administration, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Vice President Kamala Harris, who was designated as the border czar, are held responsible for their open-border policies.

The time has long past to implement stricter border control measures, prioritize detention over the release of illegal aliens, establish comprehensive screening protocols, and expedite the deportation process for aliens with false asylum claims.

States such as New York are experiencing firsthand the repercussions of open borders and sanctuary city policies. New York must eliminate taxpayer-funded privileges such as subsidized in-state college tuition, public assistance programs, and free housing for illegal aliens.

New York Citys new $107 billion budget will include $4 billion in funding for affordable housing in the next fiscal year a cash infusion Mayor Adams promised two years ago and which Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has pressed for in recent months.

The mayor and Council Speaker announced the new spending plan with a handshake agreement Thursday at City Hall a deal the Council is expected to formally approve Friday. The new budget tops last years spending plan which eventually grew to $104 billion by approximately $3 billion.

The agreement we reached today comes in the midst of a budget cycle dominated by great challenges and unexpected crises, but Im proud to say that we have successfully navigated through these many crosscurrents to arrive at a strong and fiscally responsible budget, Mayor Adams said. Early in this administration I made it clear that government must be more efficient and use our limited resources wisely. Our mission is not simply to save money, it is to set priorities.

Council Speaker Adams, who isnt related to the mayor, has made securing more funding for housing a priority for months to address both the affordable housing crisis the city is facing and the huge influx of migrants whove streamed into the five boroughs since last year, causing its homeless shelters to surpass capacity.

On Thursday, she took a victory lap for locking down that additional funding, saying it would help address record-high levels of evictions and homelessness.

This year, the city will reach the target of a $4 billion capital commitment for housing that this moment demands, she said.

Of that $4 billion annual allotment, $2.5 billion will go to the citys Department of Housing Preservation and Development and $1.5 billion will go to the New York City Housing Authority in the 2024 fiscal year. The $4 billion in spending next year relies, in part, on reallocating money initially budgeted further down the road. Over the next ten years, the city has budgeted $23.9 billion for affordable housing.

The general funding level at HPD will extend into the following years, with the agency set to get approximately $2 billion for affordable housing in both 2025 and 2026.

The budget deal will also include a restoration of $32.9 million in NYCHA funding that would have been removed under the mayors latest executive budget.

That money will be put toward the housing authoritys vacant-unit readiness program, which is aimed at bringing empty apartments into use more quickly.

Mayor Adams and City Council members have been engaged in a contentious back-and-forth over the budget in recent weeks, with the mayor contending that deep cuts are necessary to maintain the citys long-term fiscal health and Council members arguing that many of those cuts would be to the citys overall detriment.

For Speaker Adams, money for affordable housing has been a particularly pressing concern. Shes made the case repeatedly that more cash for permanent affordable housing is needed to help alleviate the pressure migrants have placed on the shelter system.

During his 2021 campaign for mayor, Mayor Adams vowed to put $4 billion a year towards affordable housing. But in the last budget, both he and the Council fell short of that goal, allocating about $2.5 billion for affordable housing in the last fiscal year.

Under his most recent executive budget plan, Mayor Adams had proposed cuts across almost all city agencies to help defray the costs of the migrant crisis, which his budget team estimates will cost more than $4 billion to address by next year.

Those austerity measures which included cuts to public libraries, CUNY and the citys Department of Social Services, among other agencies sparked a loud and sustained backlash from City Council members and advocates, who contended that including them in the final, adopted budget would ultimately harm the citys long-term health.

The mayors proposed $36.2 million cut to libraries has been particularly contentious, but that reduction will be reversed as part of the final agreement announced Thursday. According to sources involved in the negotiations, the mayors team only relented on the library cuts after Council negotiators threatened to walk away and force talks to extend beyond Saturdays budget deadline.

Both the mayor and speaker alluded to the tensions that pervaded the budget negotiations during their press conference in the City Hall Rotunda on Thursday afternoon. In a reference to the New York Yankees stellar pitching performance the night before, Mayor Adams said the process was not a perfect game.

The Council speaker made clear repeatedly it is not an ideal budget from her members point of view, either. At one point during Thursdays announcement, she went so far as to say that the city couldnt afford the type of counterproductive budgeting approach employed by the mayors administration during this years talks.

We could talk for hours about the things that were not accomplished in this budget, she said, standing next to the mayor. The budget is passing right now, but this is a bittersweet moment for this Council.

After that comment, the mayor stepped in to say the cuts are painful for him, too, but blamed the need for them on the citys costly migrant crisis.

It hurts us to know that we lost $1.4 billion that we could have put into some of these problems that we are talking about, he said, referencing the the migrant-related cost incurred by the city over the past year.

According to Adams budget director, Jacques Jiha, the outyear deficits for the city continue to balloon amid the migrant crisis. The projected deficit for fiscal year 2027 is now at $7.9 billion $900 million more than what was estimated just a few months ago, according to Jiha.

Andrew Rein, president of the fiscally hawkish Citizens Budget Commission, said Thursdays budget agreement could be dangerous, given the dark fiscal horizon described by Jiha.

It is essentially a one-year budget that again unfortunately delays the wise but hard choices needed to stabilize the citys fiscal future, Rein said.

Advocates have pressed the mayor to invest more money to fund legal services, specifically for so-called right-to-counsel lawyers representing tenants in eviction cases and immigrants attempting to navigate the complicated asylum application process.

Councilman Shaun Abreu (D-Manhattan) said under the new budget an additional $20 million will be baselined toward right-to-counsel lawyers and another $10 million would go to public defenders annually and that the total allotment in the next fiscal year will grow by $46 million.

In addition to reversing the library cuts, the budget agreement peels back the mayors proposed $40 million city funding reduction for cultural institutions like museums, and it will also partially restore a cut the mayor sought to a Department of the Aging program providing meals for older adults.

Mayor Adams had pushed for a $12 million cut in the 2024 fiscal year for the senior meals program. That cut has been reduced to $5 million.

On the education front, the mayors team advocated for a $41 million funding shave for the City University of New York for the next fiscal year. The budget deal undoes $32.4 million of that cut.

Adams proposed $17 million cut to social services forr Rikers Island inmates will not be restored in next years budget, though. The citys Department of Correction, which the mayor ultimately oversees, has said it can provide the same services in-house but Council members and nonprofit providers have strongly pushed back, arguing that inmates would suffer under the cut.

The program being cut helps recently-released inmates with finding jobs and housing, as well as accessing social services. Asked why he thinks that funding should be scrapped, Mayor Adams said its because all of those services we can do internally.

Its the wrong thing to do to have city employees and then have a whole host of consultants, Adams said. Its an insult to city employees.

Two Council sources noted that the lawmaking body intends to pursue legislation in the coming weeks that would help restore such funding on a more permanent basis.

A cost of living adjustment, or COLA, for nonprofit workers providing social services support to the city is baked into the budget framework as well.

The COLA is a $40 million increase over current levels for the next fiscal year, bringing the total baselined funding to $100 million. That baseline will be brought up to $150 million in the 2025 fiscal year, according to the budget deal.

The COLA is smaller than some stakeholders had hoped for, though.

Democratic Council members and social services nonprofits had advocated for at least a $100 million increase in this fiscal year, arguing that anything less wouldnt be enough to make workers whole at a time of surging costs of living in the city.

It doesnt make sense to weigh tragedies on a scale. How do you measure them? Leo Tolstoy got it right in Anna Karenina when he said whereas all happy families are alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

And so indeed it was on June 14 when it was reported that a boat carrying 750 migrants had capsized near Greece in the Mediterranean killing over 500 with dozens missing.

It was one of the most horrific tragedies in recent times, claiming the lives of hundreds of migrants mostly from Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan and Palestine who put their lives in great danger in pursuit of the basic human instinct of looking for a better life.

A world becoming tragically familiar with migrant misery barely had time to shake its head in pity once again when news broke that a submarine, The Titan, operated by a US-based company, OceanGate, had imploded in the depths killing all five tourists on an expedition to the debris of the Titanic.

Two heart-wrenching tragedies in a space of days and yet the major global news networks could not resist reporting the tragedies on a scale of prejudice that barely disguised where their sympathy lies.

The concerned world also rallied a multinational rescue mission for The Titan sparing neither expense nor expertise. The press provided minute-by-minute accounts of the efforts, looking for experts from around the world who had made similar missions in the past. Others got families of some of those on board to share their fears and hopes.

How, for example, could anyone not be touched by the story of Suleman Dawood, the 19-year-old student who followed his millionaire father, Shazada, on that expedition to honour his Fathers Day wish? We were touched because the press shined a light on the human angle.

Who knows how many such stories among the hundreds of the families of the dead migrants have now gone untold? Interestingly, the Dawoods whose tragic story is still travelling the world, shared a similar Pakistani heritage with some migrants whose own stories will never be heard.

As the search went on, the horrific deaths of the migrants in the Mediterranean fizzled from news flashes to scrolls of ticker tape and soon disappeared altogether.

From the way the networks covered the two accidents, you would be forgiven to think that they had weighed both and concluded that the lives of the 750 migrants mattered less, if they mattered at all. It was not an issue that the number of migrants who died in the Mediterranean on June 14 was over one-third of the fatality when RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage in 1912.

Somehow, the unspoken message was that the migrants deserved their fate. What else did they want from Europe or the rest of the world? After all, in the last eight years or so, and long before the Russia-Ukraine war complicated things, Europe had opened its borders to an estimated 1.5 million migrant refugees. Yet, in spite of tighter border controls, controversial repatriations and deportations, the wave of migrants has been unrelenting.

Governments in Europe, especially in Italy and Greece, that spent years sleepwalking over a comprehensive plan to manage the migrant crisis have used rising domestic economic difficulties and the upsurge in right-wing groups in their countries as excuses for cracking down on migrants, sometimes, with the most cynical sea-border policing.

Since no deterrent appears to have worked so far (not unsanitary conditions, severe overcrowding, poor food and water quality, torture by guards or even reinforced barbed wires), the networks may well have deployed their own a new set of filtering tools to cover the Mediterranean tragedy: downgrade the story if you cant help it, otherwise turn a blind eye.

Of course, its not the fault of the five victims who died in The Titan; its the fault of a system that treats people less than who they are because of where they are from, their skin colour or lets be honest because of their economic conditions.

Its improbable that if the migrant boat were some ocean liner on a summer cruise of the Mediterranean an accident involving 750 passengers out of which 500 have been confirmed dead would be given the same shorthand coverage.

The double-standard between the wall-to-wall coverage of the implosion of The Titan and the short shrift that the deaths of over 500 migrants received at the hands of the global networks reecho the Shakespearean line about beggars, comets and the deaths of princes. Only that Shakespeare could not have seen that modern networks could sometimes make comets for their own princes.

The hypocritical coverage of both tragic incidents barely hides the fact that even though the deaths touched each affected family in a different way, the material condition of the dead was also a factor in how the tragedies were reported.

Former US President Barack Obama, perhaps one of the worlds most famous modern victims of right-wing calumny, called out the stark contrast, describing it as obscene and untenable. Its an obscenity with a long history, one which in 1977 compelled UNESCO to set up the Sean MacBride Commission on North-South communication lopsidedness.

On September 26, 2002, for example, an overcrowded Gambia-bound Senegalese ferry, Le Joola, hit a serious storm at night, killing 1,800 passengers, including the sister and 10 other relatives of the current coach of the Senegalese national football team, Aliou Cisse. Only 64 passengers survived. Cisse was saved on that day by a match for Birmingham City. It was a monumental tragedy, claiming more lives than were lost in RMS Titanic.

But that catastrophic event remained largely unreported then and remains, to date, one of the worlds most famous unlisted calamities on the global calendar. Only a BBC Africa documentary produced last year, on the 20th anniversary of the disaster and the pillars of the victims empty graves, remind us there was such a human tragedy!

This double-standard sometimes plays out in how help is deployed, after a humanitarian disaster. When the US sent help to Nigeria after catastrophic floods claimed over 600 lives last year, for example, it sent money $1 million. When a devastating wildfire impacted New South Wales in Australia in late 2019, on the other hand, the US sent hundreds of firefighters. Sadly, three of them died helping.

To be fair, we cant blame foreign countries or the major networks forever. If these countries and their networks are hostages to blinkered lenses in understanding and telling our story, journalists in the global south, including Africa, must also invest in telling their own stories themselves.

And that does not have to be only when tragedies happen. Otherwise, neither tragedies nor heart-warming stories would have the touch, which as Tolstoy said, connects to us as humans in their own different, intimate ways.
