On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the British government will begin sending migrants who illegally enter to Rwanda in an effort to stop illegal immigration.
According to The New York Times, the new policy will apply to anyone who entered the UK illegally since Jan. 1.
The Times noted that Johnson stated during remarks on Thursday that the move was made possible by Brexit.
“In a speech on Thursday, Mr. Johnson said his plan could resettle thousands of migrants who cross the English Channel after long journeys from countries like Albania, Iraq and Sudan, and would apply to those who had arrived since January. He said that Britain ‘cannot sustain a parallel illegal system. Our compassion may be infinite, but our capacity to help people is not.’
In Rwanda, those who arrived in so-called emergency transit centers would be given the option of seeking resettlement to countries other than Britain, returning home or to a previous country of asylum, or staying in Rwanda. Britain will pay Rwanda 120 million pounds, about $157 million, to finance opportunities including education, vocational and skills training and language lessons.”

Rwanda is beautiful this time of year!!
since you can buy an entire home in Rwanda for about $50 bucks, this would be a good idea for the USA too.
Send them to Delaware. Joe will take them.
Send all of ours there too bye bye
As if one single Euro will get past Rwanda’s bureaucrats. But Boris already knows this.
Kinda like red cross goods getting a mile past the port they’re unload at. Unless the head miltary guys live more than a mile away.
US should send its illegals there also - there or Russia - it could use the population - nice hectare lots available free in Siberia.
Send them to north korea or china-
Is he the Prime Minister of Rwanda? What right does he have to do this? Did he get permission from U.K. Prime Minister Carrie Symonds before he said this?
How does the U.S. have the authority to send people to a sovereign nation? Is that a precedence you want to set?
I know a family of Tutsis that left there forever.
Apparently the Hutus are not very nice...
No thanks. Plenty of Delawareans don’t care for that retard or his politics.
UK negotiated a deal with Rwanda.
Very reasonable. “Our compassion may be infinite, but our capacity to help people is not.”
Rwanda is a member of the British Commonwealth.
They joined in 2009.

Looks like Brexit is paying off, good on Boris for doing this.
