About

The United Kingdom is planning tough new legislation to facilitate the

deportation of undocumented migrants. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised

this summer from the French port of Calais. But human rights groups warn of

the threat from right-wing anti-immigrant sentiment. Special correspondent

Malcolm Brabant reports.
