UK to proceed with sending migrants to Rwanda

Anonymous
I have to hand it to the UK. This is a brilliant way to deter migrants from coming. The US needs to follow their lead.

Across the West, including the U.S., rising numbers of migrants have overwhelmed many asylum systems and created political tensions leading some countries to try sending migrants to other nations. Britain is plowing ahead with a much delayed but closely watched policy aimed at deterring migrants from arriving on its shores. 

In 2022, Britain announced a deal with Rwanda to process and house thousands of asylum seekers who entered the U.K. illegally, often on small boats from France. Those who are flown to Rwanda would never return to the U.K. even if they are granted refugee status.

Brilliant! But Libs here are desperate for votes, and will do virtually anything to maintain power, even destroy America.

That should be illegal. Very few refugees coming to the UK are from that country. You can't just dump vulnerable people in a vulnerable third world country always on the brink of explosion.

It's like plucking Honduran families from the southern border and throwing them into Kashmir. It's not humane. It goes against all human rights.

Rwanda is a Commonwealth country (the second Commonwealth country with no historical tie to UK so a chosen English country) so it makes sense.

More like sending them to Puerto Rico or Guam or the Northern Mariana Islands, which are US territories.

What's inhumane?

Asylum seekers are supposed i have been prosecuted by their own governments. Being poor is not a reason to be granted asylum.

Australia was the first to do this by keeping unauthorized migrant at a detention center on Christmas Island. That is a more reasonable approach. Or maye a combination of third country and uninhibited island

As others have pointed out, Rwanda is a Commonwealth country. Makes perfect sense.

Exactly. Which is what we should be doing.

We cannot house all the poor people of the world in our country. It is not sustainable.

Rwanda is a police state. These people are basically being warehoused into a country with no accountability for their welfare. Very gross stuff, but par for the course for where we are these days.

If you are fleeing your country and demanding asylum, than any place that is not your country that welcomes you is a safe place. Rwanda has agreed to take these "refugees" and they will be safe.

Otherwise you are an economic immigrant and do not legal have a claim for asylum.

And the UK should have to accept anyone who shows up on their shores because… why, exactly? Answer: no country is obligated to take in millions. Period. Including the US. I’m afraid you’re just going to have to deal with that.

Precisely. Maybe this will deter some of these migrants from making the trip, knowing that they will simply be sent to Rwanda.

Yes, I think this is precisely the point, to stop them from coming in the first instance.
