He said that the law would carry a 2-year prison sentence.
Reform added: "The law will "stop the Green Party endorsed charity industrial complex from facilitating large scale illegal entry under the guise of humanitarian or charitable action.
"The legislation will not impede lifeboats saving those in genuine distress at sea."

The Greens have argued that the UK should take more asylum seekers via official routes to reduce the dangerous crossing many make across the channel in small boats.
Polanski dismissed Reform's new law proposal as "desperate posturing".
