A new law which will make it illegal for people who crossed the Channel in small boats to claim asylum in the UK is set to be introduced by the government on Tuesday.

The Channel crossers will be deported to Rwanda.

They will also be banned for life from applying for the right to stay in the UK.

There must be a certain size at which the boat is not small anymore. It looks darker in the shade, too.

And the Brit Government doesn't think it can even keep that if it becomes law. Already challenges are being looked at? Plus, nowhere to send the refugees...

Also, human rights don't matter to Brits anymore? Least not this Government anyway, it seems.

Sure, immigration reform needs to happen, but refugees aren't just a 'normal' immigrant.

Rwanda.

National/border sovereignty means nothing to you?

At that point they are. Nobody is traveling to Britain in a small boat unless they were already in France. And they most likely worked their way up from Italy and Greece. Lots'a places to settle before crossing The Channel. Britain isn't exactly abundant with space, unlike the rest of Europe. Maybe it's because they have more and better freebies?
For that matter how is it ANY different than the fuckers who cross at Roxham Road? They were already in a safe country with lots and lots of space and a govt that virtue signaled the living fuck out of it itself about how welcome they all were and that "nobody is illegal". And then virtue signaled the living fuck out of what was left of their "morality" when the illegals were shipped to Democrat states from Texas and Florida. The same Democrats who are quietly shipping them off to the Roxham Road crossing (and most likely other "crossings") to make them someone else's problem, ours.

And I know this may come as a shock to you but, just because someone claims to be a refugee doesn't automatically make them a refugee.

We have a plan like that, only it's Canada, not Rwanda.
Yep. Funny how the Democrats aren't screaming about that after their ridiculous display when Texas and Florida did it to Democrat states. How virtuous. How progressive and welcoming.
It was the same with Trudeau when he tried to take a shot at Harper by proclaiming "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian" and then proceeded to strip the citizenship of and deport more people in his first two years than the previous three govts had, combined! And all done very quietly, just not quite quietly enough.

And that's the only place to send them to, even if they're not from there.

There's national and border sovereignty, and then there are people fleeing out of fear of their lives wanting a safe place to go.

At that point they are. Nobody is traveling to Britain in a small boat unless they were already in France. And they most likely worked their way up from Italy and Greece. Lots'a places to settle before crossing The Channel. Britain isn't exactly abundant with space, unlike the rest of Europe. Maybe it's because they have more and better freebies?

That's all true enough, though I'd question the "freebies" bit.

For that matter how is it ANY different than the fuckers who cross at Roxham Road?

IF they are refugees and planning to stay in the US, but then decide to go to Canada, that's different than the "we want to go to Canada to begin with but agreements/laws require us to proclaim in the US because it's where we landed first".

They were already in a safe country with lots and lots of space and a govt that virtue signaled the living fuck out of it itself about how welcome they all were and that "nobody is illegal".

Who says that "nobody is illegal"? I've heard quite a few make the distinction between illegal and refugees.

And then virtue signaled the living fuck out of what was left of their "morality" when the illegals were shipped to Democrat states from Texas and Florida.

LOL - okay Jin. Need a Snickers break?

The "virtue signal" out of those situations was the GOP asshats sending people unknowingly, lying about it and ill prepared to deal with weather to those places all because they "care" about the border.

And those places stepping up at the sudden, unannounced influx and doing what people should do.

The same Democrats who are quietly shipping them off to the Roxham Road crossing (and most likely other "crossings") to make them someone else's problem, ours.

Now THAT, that I take issue with but truthfully I haven't looked into it in depth so I can't comment other than fuck the Dems who have done this.

And I know this may come as a shock to you but, just because someone claims to be a refugee doesn't automatically make them a refugee.

I never said it did, or implied it.

Shock might be for you that anyone who claims refugee STILL has to pass background checks to validate that claim and if it's not, they're sent to the "gotta go back home and do it again" train. Or did you really not know this?

They do it just to make you feel bad. And you deserve it, seeing as how you can't tell the difference between a U.S. state and a country.

Domestic law trumps international law. If the opposite were true, then unelected bodies in foreign countries would have primacy over democratically elected governments. We in Britain have democratically elected those politicians we want to make our laws and they should be paramount over unelected and unnacountable foreign bodies to make our laws. It's Brexit in a nutshell. And it's just basic commonsense. The British Parliament should create British laws. That's democracy for you.

How very quaintly British: The Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle berating naughty MPs by telling them to get a strong cup of tea.

The UN is TRIGGERED by Britain's migration ban

"Who are the UN to 'urge' Britain to change its mind? Who elected the UN? Our Common Law should reign over international law"


British Home Secretary Suella Braverman has triggered the United Nations - so she must be doing something right.
