The barge Bibby Stockholm pulled into Portland harbor on Tuesday after the government's legislation finally overcame resistance in the House of Lords. The vessel and the bill are part of the Conservative Party's plan to deter migrants from making risky English Channel crossings. The bill is aimed at preventing people arriving illegally from claiming asylum in the U.K. (Andrew Matthews/Pool Photo via AP)
