Charities have warned the 'cruel and nasty decision' will not only fail to address the issue but 'lead to more human suffering and chaos' and cost an estimated £1.4bn
The prime minister's announcement signals an attempt to reset the government’s immigration policy after a record year for migrant crossings.
After the PM’s speech Home Secretary Priti Patel, who is in Rwanda, will sign a deal described as a migration and economic development partnership with the East African country. This drastic action to deter the flow of migrants crossing from Calais will attract considerable controversy, with criticism already coming in from all sides. Charities have called the policy “cruel,” while calling into question its cost, which they estimate could exceed more than £1bn.
With a tight window between now and 11 May when the Queen’s Speech is due to take place, the government has a battle on its hands. Ministers need to find a way to not only convince parliament, but activists, campaigners and some sections of the public that processing migrants in Rwanda is not just a successful strategy, but a morally justifiable one too.
