UK-Rwanda migrant plan passes after parliament marathon

The bill designates Rwanda a safe third country and is a key part of the government's plans to send some asylum seekers there.

Controversial UK government plans for deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda cleared their final hurdle on Monday, after a marathon tussle between the upper and lower chambers of parliament lasting late into the night.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his ruling Conservatives have been seeking to push through legislation that will compel judges to regard the east African nation as a safe third country.
They also want to give decision-makers on asylum applications the power to disregard sections of international and domestic human rights law to get around a UK Supreme Court ruling that sending migrants on a one-way ticket to Kigali was illegal.
But the government faced a parliamentary battle to do so, with the upper chamber House of Lords, which scrutinises bills, repeatedly sending the proposed legislation back to the lower House of Commons with amendments.
Peers, who have criticised the bill as inadequate, notably wanted a requirement that Rwanda could not be treated as safe until an independent monitoring body said so.
They also wanted an exemption for agents, allies and employees of the UK overseas, including Afghans who fought alongside British armed forces, from being removed.
MPs in the Commons, where the Tories have a majority, voted down every amendment and asked the Lords to think again in a back-and-forth process known as "parliamentary ping pong".
The unelected upper chamber, where there is no overall majority for any party, dug in their heels.
But shortly before midnight (2300 GMT) they eventually conceded to the will of elected MPs and agreed to make no further amendments, ending the deadlock and ensuring the bill will now receive royal assent to pass into law.
Sunak's government has been under mounting pressure to cut record numbers of asylum seekers crossing the Channel from northern France in small boats, particularly following a promise of a tougher approach to immigration after the UK left the European Union.
<h2>Challenges&nbsp;</h2>
The Rwanda scheme -- criticised by UN human rights experts and groups supporting asylum seekers -- has been beset by legal challenges since it was first proposed in 2022.
That year, the first deportees were pulled off a flight at the last minute after an injunction from the European Court of Human Rights. Two years on, no migrants have been sent.
The National Audit Office, a public spending watchdog, has estimated it will cost the UK &pound;540 million ($665 million) to deport the first 300 migrants -- nearly &pound;2 million per person.
Charities have said the scheme is unworkable and, given the small numbers involved, would do little to cut the backlog of asylum claims.
Other critics say it sets a dangerous precedent of parliament legislating on an issue already deemed illegal by the courts, and will damage the UK's international standing and moral authority.
Rwanda -- a tiny nation of 13 million people -- lays claim to being one of the most stable countries in Africa. But rights groups accuse veteran President Paul Kagame of ruling in a climate of fear, stifling dissent and free speech.
Sunak announced earlier on Monday that the government was ready and had plans in place for the first flights to take off in 10 to 12 weeks, promising a wave of deportations "come what may" over the summer months.
The prime minister is banking on the flagship "stop the boats" policy to act as a deterrent and give his beleaguered Tory party an electoral boost as the country prepares to go to the polls later this year.
The Conservatives have consistently trailed the main opposition Labour party in opinion polls and are on course to be dumped out of power after 14 years.
Sunak's plans could still be held up by legal challenges, and UN rights experts have suggested that airlines and aviation regulators could fall foul of internationally protected human rights laws if they take part in deportations.

The majority of the 'irregular arrivals' from India on small boats were made up of men between the ages of 25 and 40, out of a total of 45,755 in 2022

Sharp rise in Indians crossing the English Channel to illegally enter UK: report

The majority of the 'irregular arrivals' from India on small boats were made up of men between the ages of 25 and 40, out of a total of 45,755 in 2022

The number of Indians illegally crossing over into the United Kingdom across the English Channel has increased sharply to 683 last year from 67 in 2021, data from the British government has shown.
The figure, according to the latest UK Home Office report showed that no Indians had crossed over into Britain in 2018 and 2019.
However, this saw an increase in 2020 when 64 Indians crossed over illegally in small boats followed by a small rise to 67 in 2021.&nbsp;
The majority of the 'irregular arrivals' from India on small boats were made up of men between the ages of 25 and 40, out of a total of 45,755 in 2022.
The UK has a returns agreement with India under the Migration and Mobility Partnership (MMP), something which was referred to by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Parliament last week.
"We have returns agreements with India, Pakistan, Serbia, Nigeria and &mdash; crucially &mdash; now with Albania, where we are returning hundreds of people," Sunak told the Commons during Prime Minister's Questions.&nbsp;

UK PM Rishi Sunak to launch new law to stop migrants from claiming asylum

UK PM Rishi Sunak to launch new law to stop migrants from seeking asylum arriving on small boats 

Rishi Sunak set to launch new laws to tackle illegal migration in the UK

Along with his Indian-origin Home Secretary Suella Braverman, the Sunak-led government is now planning to table the legislation in Parliament next week to address the issue.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday announced a clamp down on illegal migration with a new proposed law to tackle the issue of migrants crossing over into the UK illegally and dangerously in small boats from across the English Channel.
The British Indian leader had made cracking down on this illegal route between the UK's sea border with neighbouring France among his top priorities for the year.
Along with his Indian-origin Home Secretary Suella Braverman, the Sunak-led government is now planning to table the legislation in Parliament next week to address the issue.
&ldquo;Make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay,&rdquo; Sunak told the &lsquo;Sunday Express&rsquo; newspaper.
&ldquo;I have made the issue of illegal migration one of my top five priorities &ndash; pledging to stop the boats once and for all. Illegal migration is not fair on British taxpayers, it is not fair on those who come here legally and it is not right that criminal gangs should be allowed to continue their immoral trade. I&rsquo;m determined to deliver on my promise to stop the boats,&rdquo; he said.
According to the newspaper, Sunak believes he has found the answer to a problem which has dogged the government for the past four years after weeks of work carried out in relative secrecy by senior aides in the UK Home Office and at No. 10 Downing Street.
The group has now drawn up new laws to slam a &ldquo;brake&rdquo; on any abuse of human rights laws that allows illegal migrants to escape deportation from the UK.
It is hoped the new law will stop activist lawyers using the right to family life and legislation created to combat modern slavery to stop their clients being deported.
Braverman wrote in the &lsquo;Sun on Sunday&rsquo; to say "enough is enough&rdquo; and that the British people want the issue solved.

The husband of Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who was acquitted of blasphemy charges, after being on death row for 10 years is now pleading for asylum in UK, US or Canada. Asia was convicted in 2010 for insulting Prophet Muhammad, but the conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court due to flimsy evidence. Her acquittal sparked violent protests in Pakistan and her husband has said he fears his family's safety.
