LONDON (AP) — Britain's government said it will open safe, legal routes for eligible refugees, while also changing human rights laws to make it easier to deport people who are in the country illegally.
The new routes will allow community groups, universities and employers to sponsor refugees to come to the U.K. Authorities said the plan was inspired by a similar “community sponsorship” program in Canada that has settled some 400,000 people in the country since 1979.
