Britain is closing its doors to Syrian orphans to stop fuelling people trafficking routes, says ministers as Archbishop Welby says he's 'shocked and saddened' by the decision

The Daily Mail reports:

Ministers decided cap the number of orphaned Syrian children coming to the UK at 350 to stop fuelling people trafficking routes.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the so-called Dubs amendment that opened Britain's doors to unaccompanied Syrian children was acting as a pull factor for an increasing number of children trying to reach Europe, which exposed them to traffickers.

Yesterday's decision to close the scheme caused uproar, and today the Archbishop of Canterbury said he was 'saddened and shocked' at the decision.

But despite the growing chorus of protest, Theresa May stood by the decision, insisting the Dubs route was only one of a number of routes by which Britain was resettling vulnerable children, adding that the Government's approach towards refugees is 'absolutely right'.
