Rwanda Says it Can't Guarantee How Many Asylum Seekers it Will Take From UK | Firstpost America
The government of Rwanda has said that it cannot guarantee how many illegal migrants it will take as part of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's deportation scheme. The two countries signed the deportation deal in 2022, which was passed and signed into law last month. Britain has some 52,000 asylum seekers who are eligible to be sent to Rwanda. However, the East African country says it cannot give assurances that it will accept all the migrants, instead the number could be just in "thousands". The Rwanda scheme involves deporting people who come to the UK via irregular routes. They would be sent to the African nation, where they could seek asylum and gain the status of a refugee. Rwanda has already set up a facility that can accommodate up to 200 migrants. Meanwhile, Sunak has said that the first flight to Rwanda will depart in 10 to 12 weeks.

It's funny that immigrant indian deports other immigrants!

[@sushantnegi2652]

Illigal migrants

[@Dream2710]

The difference is ILLEGAL and LEGAL. I'm not even from or in UK . I'm from SEA we don't entertain illegals. Period.

Only illegal immigrants will be deported.

Wrong right. The UK needs illegal immigrants 😅

Rwanda is a small landlocked country that will, in the long run, be unable to accommodate the numbers of asylum seekers the UK is sending to them. How is it going to employ and house an initial 50,000 people they want to send to them. It is not just feasible.

PM, don't forget that your family before you were refugees.

What the dumb comment…when he was refugee ??? he studied in Stanford worked in Goldman sachs…any country would have welcomed through red carpet for those skilled immigrants

[@tonalambiguity3345]

Why is it so bad to deport illegal immigrants? There is nobody in that region of the world that genuinely needs asylum (France, Germany, Netherlands etc). The only people trying to seek asylum are people coming from the Middle East and Africa. There are lots of closer options for them if they are genuinely seeking asylum. Why do none of the progressives address this? There is only one reason they are skipping over closer countries to come to the UK and that’s because they think they can welfare and benefits cause the English are a soft touch. That’s called economic immigration and should only be done through the proper legal channels. Can’t get through cause there is already a long waiting list? Well that’s just too bad, go choose another country closer by, you don’t need a financially comfortable life, you need safety from physical threats (if you’re a legitimate refugee). It’s like the progressives want no borders anywhere? Sure you can have that if you want the quality of life in western societies to dramatically decrease. That’s just how it is and I’ve yet to see a compelling argument against this fact. The only thing they seem to muster up is the old “oh it’s the moral thing to do”. No, morality isn’t involved because they stopped being legitimate refugees the second they refused to go to a closer safe country (one where they do not face the persecution they are supposedly desperately fleeing from). Does anyone have any legitimate answers to this? I will change my opinion if anyone can point out genuine flaws in my thinking.

Rwanda and UK should be concerned with congolese refugees.

Rwanda cannot guarantee how many migrants they will take. But they were happy to take the millions offered by UK, it was not too much. They are working flat out for us. Only one has been sent so far and he has disappeared

[@arella2966]

This rwanda government must be walking on their head taking that trouble from the uk a poor country who people needs help will advantage ever stop😢😢😢

[@PoopyShaw-rf7nc]

Yes the uk is a poor country at the moment because everyone that works like me are paying for everyone else, literally stealing my hard earned money and England is a little tiny country and we're more than full we need to stop the greed of other countries and keep us safe

[@odin741]

Rwanda will take £370M worth of illegal immigrants because that's the amount they're getting to agree to it. And they've been given additional aid packages since 2005- and those can easily be stopped if not. Money's not free and the British Public are calling in that obligation...

[@user-ub6te5uw9z]

I bet rawander people will be coming to UK soon as asylum seekers

[@Alien_O1]

Yes to collect there £3000 and a free flight home 😂😂

[@zurijake00]

What happened to India...Why are they not being sent there?

[@raptorate2872]

Cuz most Indians don't come illegally and return flights are issued by the Indian government in case of overstay, not by UK taxpayer. They do lie and overexagerate their applications, but they don't enter illegally or through boats. It's mostly always through official channels like family reunification, jobs or education. Also they don't really commit crimes or form gangs. Also Indians are usually not denied entry by the West due to their governments fair policies and Indians usually being net positive contributors to economy. Now you might not like them or they might annoy you, but they ain't the problem.

[@raptorate2872]

Cuz people need access to an actual good cuisine as well, UK food is slop.

In fact Rwanda, shouldn't be taking any of these so called asylum seekers inside, As it could be a huge security concern in the longer run, to their own country, money is not everything, look what these chaps have done to Europe !!! 😮🫣☠️😳
