Special Report: Why are Albanians risking their lives to come to the UK?

Sky News has spent several days in Albania talking to those who are trying to, or who have, migrated to the UK.
We also spoke to the country's prime minister, who is angry his country has not received an apology from home secretary Suella Braverman after she described Albanian migration as an "invasion".

@@borba5825 Kosovo Albanians unlike from Albania are the tricky ones. They are far more religiously & ethnically defined and organised. Unlike them, Albanians from Albania are either not very religious or agnostic. They also have no problem intermarrying outside their culture. The closed mindset from what I can tell comes straight out of the highland areas (Of which Kosovo has plenty of). So it's no surprise to expect organised criminals and people smugglers to be from Kosovo. This is I think the biggest problem. UK Home office & the UK media is constantly conflating Albanians into a single entity.. which obviously serves Kosovo criminals quite well!

That's not true! There are greater numbers in Germany, Greece and Italy, US, Canada, etc for years! The Sky report above is inaccurate giving the wrong impression to the uninformed that everybody is moving to UK (which fits to their agenda possibly targeting the average men in the pub!)!

The sense of entitlement from the Albanian PM is breath taking- close the borders to these scammers- NOW

Would we british be welcome in Albania, looks amazing over there, abandoned farm land, living off grid they have the dream already. But they propbably crave the UK night life.

For free stuff and because activists force them on the I'm population to pay for?

Legal Albanian population pays taxes for the illegal one. I would call it even. Dw, nothing coming out from your mcdonalds taxes.

"And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." Revelation 13:14-18

I’m American Albanian and I can easily come to England tmr on a plane. See that’s cool right but Albanians having the right to come there is too much for some reason as if y’all want them out. Yet I’ll come there tmr legally as an American / Albanian citizen. It’s funny af

Why is Albania so poor?

[@Sadiq_Khan_UL3Z]

Simple answer, its because they want to take advantage of the benefits here

[@1CssTeam]

Ask the government how many albanian man are on benefits in UK. None of them

[@MemesV69]

I don't blame Albanians as in the state of corruption within the albanian police force. A stereotype people use against Albanians is "They are all criminals" and that is not true. I don't think that the British government has a proper insight of actual albania

So they are not criminals but they do go there ilegally but its for a good life? So that makes it ok? But really the Albanian government should take responsibility for chasing away its citizens

[@cmsacademy1673]

I love Albania and it’s people but this is clearly purely economic migration and the government should be reporting them right away. The country needs some people for sure but it must be legal and controlled, we need to open channels to select those who can benefit our society
