Labour Party Leader Scraps Controversial Migrant Deportation Plan
ai generated text
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that he will not continue with the previous Conservative government's policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda. The scheme, which was approved by Parliament in April, aimed to declare Rwanda a safe third country and relocate individuals who entered the UK unlawfully after January 1, 2022.
His main theme is that the years of Conservative tumult are done.
There was a lot of talk about change that the government is going to bring to British life and British politics.
We introduced the Rwanda Bill to deter vulnerable migrants from making perilous crossings and break the business model of the criminal gangs who exploit them. The passing of this legislation will allow us to do that and make it very clear that if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.
I'm not prepared to continue with gimmicks that don't act as a deterrent.
Everyone has worked out, particularly the gangs that run this, that the chance of ever going to Rwanda was so slim – less than 1 percent.
There are big problems on the horizon which will be, I'm afraid, caused by Keir Starmer.
Years of hard work, acts of Parliament, millions of pounds been spent on a scheme which had it been delivered properly would have worked.
Our asylum system must be made to focus on delivering as fairly and efficiently as possible the security and certainty to which every refugee is entitled however they may arrive.
It's going to have to come up with other solutions to deal with that particular problem.
