In the wake of nearly two years of legal challenges and parliamentary wrangling, the UK government finally passed late Monday evening its chief illegal migrant deterrence bill, which will theoretically see illegal boat migrants removed from Britain to the East African nation of Rwanda, however, actually getting illegals on flights is still by no means a certainty.
In principle, the legislation would see the migrants removed on flights to Rwanda, where they would stay while their asylum claims to gain residence in the United Kingdom are processed. Those who don’t have their claims recognised “will instead be granted permanent residence so that they are able to stay and integrate into Rwandan society”.
The legislation grants government ministers new powers to ignore orders from the ECHR and has “disapplied” some parts of the Human Rights Act 1998, however, this has yet to be tested in court.
Finally, it is still unclear if the scheme — if actually implemented — will fulfil its intended purpose of acting as a deterrence for prospective illegal migrants, with migrants in camps along the French coast vowing that they will keep attempting to reach Britain even if they are sent to Rwanda.
