Support the Turks and Caicos governments to police their borders
The Government should provide financial support and training to the Turks and Caicos governments, which could include training for immigration & border control officers, support for coastal surveillance & tracking of vessels. This is an underfunded area of overseas British sovereign waters.
There has been a serious historical issues with illegal immigration into the overseas British territory of Turks and Caicos, via use of sloops. This is both a threat to local livelihoods and source of increased crime levels, smuggling, and human trafficking. The proposed actions should help foster a more positive local outlook of the British relationship with the islands.
