How the UK’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is 21st-century imperialism writ large
Richer nations are increasingly looking to offshore their immigration processing and further their own economic and political interests at the same time.theconversation.com
Heaven forbid the scumbags who enable this be called racist though.

I don't believe in a centrally planned economy so naturally don't think a government can centrally plan the labour market either. As I've said before, I dare say if you took a straw poll of GOT users and asked them "would you upsticks and move abroad without a job to go to, somewhere to live, etc., or would you get things arranged before you set off?" practically everyone would do the latter, yet we seem to be of this notion that foreigners just decide one day to come to Britain and then figure everything out when they get here. It doesn't make much sense.
Tbf though mate, I would imagine that most people on GOT would follow the destination countries entry requirements and if rejected probably wouldn't try and get smuggled in.
We've very recently been part of the EU and so didn't need to worry about any centrally ordained entry requirements, and funnily enough people seemed able to arrange their own affairs pretty well, as indeed did employers. I'm just not sure why we think some random in the Home Office would know more about what's good for either ourselves as individuals or our organisation if we're an employer. I mean if the government were so good at managing staffing you perhaps wouldn't think the NHS would have 110,000 unfilled vacancies at the moment. It's almost like they really haven't got a clue.Tbf though mate, I would imagine that most people on GOT would follow the destination countries entry requirements and if rejected probably wouldn't try and get smuggled in.
This is clearly a different need than for those suffering displacement from war and terror and as a people Europe/the west should have a joined up strategy and approach but we have Everton level leadership
The EU showed it could work. There are literally open borders between 27 countries. It's strange how quickly we seem to have forgotten that we were members and so many on here were incredibly sad that we no longer are.
Well yes, it is utterly insane to think that. We're veering into Farage territory here with his absurdly racist poster about Turkish accession to the Union meaning that 84 million Turks are suddenly going to arrive at Dover. Perhaps a more current example would be the arrangement struck with Hong Kong recently, which allowed any Hong Kong citizen to move to the UK. If Asians weren't "good migrants" perhaps Farage would have whipped out his poster and scared people with thoughts of 2.9 million Hong Kongians turning up at Heathrow, but of course that hasn't happened because people don't generally go half way around the world on a wing and a prayer.
