What to make of a British political leader who pledges to deport 600,000 immigrants in his first term? That is 120,000 people a year. This would even include doing a deal with the Taliban, a movement the UK was fighting against for so many years, to facilitate deportations to Afghanistan. This is the jaw-dropping, headline-grabbing proposition that far-right leader of the Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, made in a speech last week. He claims this would only cost £10 billion ($13.5 billion). Other estimates veer closer to the £50 billion mark.
