Many interesting points arising from this thread
1. Migrants are heading for Ireland in numbers, so the deterrent factor of Rwanda is already significant despite the Irish government and the Labour party saying it is no deterrent.
2. Leaving the EU has given the UK freedom to make its own decisions regarding the treatment of migrants. If it were not for the Tory in-fighting and the lefty looney lawyers, a policy could have been introduced some time ago to mitigate the movement of migrants to the UK
3. The EC is as clueless about solving the migrant issue as it is about everything else. It attempted to create an EU wide policy for taking in migrants but yet again can't reach any kind of consensus with the Eastern countries. The EC has ordered members to take a prescribed number with heavy fines and enforcement for those who refuse. Amazingly, after criticising the UK's Rwanda programme, Ursula VDL is now promoting the use of third party countries to take and process migrants.
4. Ireland is now in crisis because it insists on having no effective border with the UK. Therefore, it can't stop unwanted immigrants entering the country across the Irish Sea.
5. Ireland is to push ahead with legislation to return immigrants to the UK. However, unless the UK agrees to take them back, there is no legal basis for the forced deportation of migrants. A perfect opportunity for the UK to agree to the return of migrants if, and only if, France also agrees to take them back.
