"If you come here illegally, you will be detained and removed within weeks either to your home country or a safe third country, like Rwanda."
Putting aside sending anyone who’s not Rwandan to Rwanda, I don’t know anyone who disagrees with with this reassertion of the long existing policy, though it’s a policy that hadn’t been actually enacted on any scale for over a decade.
The UK has every right to remove people who enter the UK illegally.
However, it is not illegal to enter the UK to seek asylum.
The Government have failed in their duty to detain migrants, filter out asylum seekers from non asylum seekers, provide asylum seekers their rights and let them settle, get to work and provide the UK economy workers to the UK economy needs, while deporting those ruled non asylum seekers.
It’s all a mess of the Government’s own making, they’re lost control of the UK’s borders and they’ve dismantled the UK’s asylum assessment process to the point it no longer functions.
