Last year, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson struck a deal to send tens of thousands of migrants to Rwanda more than 4,000 miles (6,400 km)., many of whom had made the journey from Afghanistan, Syria or other countries at war.

“If people come to this country illegally, they will be sent back or sent to somewhere like Rwanda.”
The Mail on Sunday reported that under the new law, asylum applications from those arriving by small boat will be deemed inadmissible and will be permanently barred from returning. “Our laws will be simple in intent and practice: the only route to the UK will be a safe and legal route,” Home Secretary Suella Braverman told the Sun newspaper on Sunday. Heaton-Harris said that she believed that sSafer and more legal routes would be made available as part of the plan.
