scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Up to 20,000 Afghan citizens are to be resettled in the UK starting in January as part of Operation Warm Welcome.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The announcement comes after the UK received a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/11\/27\/uk-asylum-claims-surge-to-20-year-high-amid-channel-migrant-crisis\/\">record<\/a> level of asylum applications this year, partly driven by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/12\/21\/record-28000-illegal-boat-migrants-land-in-britain-this-year\/\">over 27,000<\/a> migrants illegally crossing the English Channel from France this year.<\/p>\n<p>According to the UK\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/afghan-citizens-resettlement-scheme-to-open-in-january\">official<\/a> government website, Operation Warm Welcome will provide \u201csafe and legal\u201d resettlement routes into the UK for up to 20,000 eligible Afghans.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme represents \u201cone of the largest commitments to [Afghan] resettlement of any country,\u201d the site claims.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe Afghan citizens resettlement scheme provides a safe and legal way for the most vulnerable and at-risk people from Afghanistan to come to the United Kingdom and rebuild their lives, as part of the New Plan for Immigration,\u201d said the UK\u2019s Minister for Afghan Resettlement,&nbsp;Victoria Atkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOperation Warm Welcome is a huge national effort which could not succeed without the compassion and determination of our partners in local government, the private sector, voluntary organisations and the great British public,\u201d Atkins continued. \u201cEvery single one of them should be very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the scheme, \u201cextremely vulnerable people such as women and girls at risk and members of minority groups\u201d will be prioritised, as well as those who \u201cassisted UK efforts in Afghanistan and stood up for our values such as democracy, women\u2019s rights, freedom of speech and rule of law,\u201d according to the government\u2019s official statement.<\/p>\n<p>Local authorities in the UK who take in Afghans through this scheme will be granted \u00a320,520 per person in \u201cintegration funding\u201d over a period of three years.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"

also too economically attractive to irregular migrants.<\/p>\n<p>French Interior Minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin said that migrants crossing the channel illegally have been \u201cattracted by England, especially the labour market which means you can work in England without any identification\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The UK is now looking to take steps to address this criticism.<\/p>\n<p>One <a
