    No, we don’t. We have a trickle of illegal immigrants and until this month a batshit plan to fly the ones that got caught to Rwanda if they tried to claim asylum.

      Wait, all illegal immigrants would be sent to Rwanda, or just the Rwandans? Seems like that plan would give them a great reason to “lose” their passport.

          Yeah, we’ve had some of that over here too.

            The government plan was struck down by the high courts here because Rwanda was not a suitable destination according to the ECHR.

            The (previous) government’s response was (a) to pass a law declaring that it was a safe destination; (b) to look to limit the ability of the courts to rule on the legality of government policy.

            They really were unconscionably unpleasant fuckers.

        All. A truly barbaric proposal.

        The humans they traded like political chips should all get to go to Braverman’s house and piss on her doormat.

          That’s awful.

          Here in this side, we have the governors of Texas and Florida spending millions in public money to fly and bus asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants to more liberal cities/states to cause a burden there. Primarily they do this as a political cudgel, petty punishment for Democrats recommending leniency in some circumstances.

          The people being trafficked are sent thousands of miles away from the courts in which their cases are to be held, which all but guarantees that they will fail to show up and will face further punishment.

          It’s inhumane.

      Yeah, that’s… that’s a concentration camp with extra steps.

        We British invented concentration camps while in Africa and no laws about not being terrible to people will stop us doing it again, as long as Tory donors get their cut.
