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.
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.

The US has a history of economic migrants, was built on and relies today on them. Some Americans fled their homes when they came here - most came for opportunity.
Europe and the UK are very different. They were not built on people coming for opportunity, or st least not recently. Their history, their culture, their countries are different.
The history of previous migration does not bind the US to making similar policy decisions in the future. We don’t need to continue with bad policy just because it’s how we did it before. International transportation is much more accessible and the global population outside the US is 5x larger than it was in 1900. The number of people that can potentially come under the existing refugee and asylum eligibility criteria is just too large. If even 1/10th of 1% of the population living outside the US attempts to move here (regardless of the method, illegally, family based green cards, asylum, etc.) that will be almost 8 million people a year. The current immigration system is unsustainable in the 21st century. Migration inflows are likely to worsen dramatically due to climate change and we cannot afford to continue what we are doing now.

More like sending them to Puerto Rico or Guam or the Northern Mariana Islands, which are US territories.
?? Rwanda is not a UK territory!

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