The UK is facing irregular migration and the problems that come with it. A plan was prepared for the removal of immigrants from the country on the grounds that there were problems in social areas due to uncontrolled immigration in the country. According to the plan announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, irregular migrants will be sent to the East African country of Rwanda. Johnson stated that it may be sent to countries other than Rwanda in the future.
During his visit to Kent, England, Boris Johnson unveiled the government’s new immigration plan, which includes the deportation of irregular migrants to Rwanda.
Pointing out that uncontrolled immigration has created “unmanageable demands” on England’s National Health System, schools and public transport, Johnson said, “Our compassion may be endless, but our capacity to help people is not endless.” used the phrase.
Stating that 7 out of 10 people who came to England in small boats last year were men under the age of 40 and that they paid money to human smugglers, Johnson argued that most of these people passed through safe countries and were not in danger.
Noting that only about 600 people had crossed the English Channel yesterday, Boris Johnson accused human smugglers of turning the English Channel into a “graveyard of men, women and children who drowned in boats that were not suitable for landing.”
“LIFE PRISON WILL BE IMPLEMENTED FOR EVERYONE USING BOATS”
Underlining that the UK has now taken back control of illegal immigration after Brexit, Johnson said: “We must make sure that the only way to asylum in the UK is safe and legal.” said.
On the other hand, stating that the Royal Navy will take over its responsibility in the fight against people crossing the English Channel from today, British Prime Minister Johnson said that they will be able to prosecute those who come to England illegally and that “everyone who uses the boats” will be given a life sentence.
Johnson also announced that they will expand their immigration detention facilities to help deport those who do not have the right to stay in the UK.
Emphasizing that they need to go further, Boris Johnson used the following statements:
“From today, those who have entered the UK illegally and those who have arrived illegally since 1 January can now be resettled in Rwanda. This innovative approach will provide safe and legal avenues for asylum while disrupting the gangs business model because it helps economic migrants benefiting from the asylum system. While it will mean they cannot stay in the UK, it will give those in real need the opportunity to build a new building upon arrival in Rwanda that will be appropriately protected including access to legal services in this dynamic country with the funding, support we provide.”
GOVERNMENT’S PLAN FOR Rwanda MAY FACE LEGAL CHALLENGES
Pointing out that under their agreement with Rwanda, tens of thousands of people will have the capacity to resettle in this country in the coming years, Johnson said, “Rwanda is one of the safest countries in the world and is known for its worldwide record of welcoming and integrating immigrants.” made its assessment.
Recalling that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced in 2018 that Rwanda is the fourth fastest growing economy in the world, Johnson said, “We are confident that our new migration partnership is fully in line with our international legal obligations, but we still think that it will be argued against in the courts.” said.
Expressing that Britain is ready to make agreements with other countries similar to the one it has with Rwanda, Johnson noted that his country will continue to work with its French friends to combat human smugglers and that they will seek an “extradition agreement” with the European Union (EU).
“THE AGREEMENT WITH Rwanda IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOLUTION”
Asked why the government would send people fleeing persecution to a country with reports of ill-treatment and torture in detention centers, Johnson argued that Rwanda has “completely transformed” in recent years and is “one of the safest countries in the world”.
Johnson stated that the agreement with Rwanda is an important part of the solution in the fight against irregular migration and one of the few steps they have taken to solve the problem. (AA)
