Britain’s Home Secretary has acknowledged that the government no longer has full control of the country’s borders, amid record numbers of unauthorized crossings and asylum backlogs.

The statement marks one of the most candid admissions of the UK’s ongoing migration challenges.

Political opponents say the revelation exposes years of policy failure, while ministers insist that new measures are being developed to restore order and public confidence.
