Start with an Amnesty of Illegal immigrants (yes we spotted that in cooper's rant).
Declare the illegals, legal, problem fixed. Good job.
Someone's been reading the Daily Mail. That's not so bad. It's believing it that's the real shocker!
Labour accused of handing 'effective amnesty' to people arriving illegally in Britain as 70,000 migrants set to be given asylum in UK
Tens of thousands of illegal migrants will get asylum in the UK after Yvette Cooper scrapped the Rwanda scheme.

As some self-appointed pseudo solicitor you would expect him to read the small print.
Under the headlines, it's reported:
The Home Secretary said she would allow officials to process the claims of up to 120,000 people who the last government said would never be allowed to settle here.
Can you see the difference?
The DM accuses the HS of giving amnesty, whereas the reality is that they will all be processed.
Currently they're all being accommodated, fed, secured, etc, at a cost of millions per day. And the number keeps rising.
In the near future the successful asylum seekers will be allowed to work and contribute to the UK economy.
The unsuccessful applicants will still need to be accommodated, fed, secured, etc.
So why not process them to reduce the cost of accommodating, feeding, securing the potential successful applicants?
That's the sensible approach.
