Migration expert urges Labour to target Pakistan, Bangladesh and Somalia in visa crackdowns
Robert Bates says Labour should focus on larger migration sources

Migration expert Robert Bates has urged Labour to shift focus away from 'small fry of migration' and target visa crackdowns toward Pakistan, Bangladesh and Somalia. On GB News, Bates argued these countries represent a much larger share of small boat crossings to the UK. He claimed current Labour government policies are misdirected, suggesting that visa restrictions should prioritize these high-volume source countries rather than smaller migration streams. Bates' comments come amid ongoing political debate over Labour's approach to immigration control, with the government facing criticism for both the scale of migration and the effectiveness of its proposed measures. The expert called for a more strategic approach that addresses the root causes and major pathways of irregular migration to the UK.
