Asylum seekers, victims of the Irish-British immigration dispute
In an article, a European publication assessed the influx of immigrants from England to Ireland in the shadow of the Sunac anti-immigration plan as the reason for the escalation of conflicts between London and Dublin and creating much more difficult conditions for asylum seekers. |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, newspaper ” In an article, Tugs Shaw discussed the British government’s strict approach towards immigrants and wrote: The British government’s strict attitude towards immigrants affects Ireland as well; Because many refugees migrate there from England. In this situation, the question is whether London should return them to the country? British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak doesn’t want to know anything about this.
This article continues: Excavators entered the streets of Dublin in the middle of the week and one by one He removed the tarpaulins and tents that were located in several streets in the center of Dublin and took the refugees to the back of a truck to move.
The refugees have been in this area for weeks and Baran had camped in front of the authority that examines their requests. Some immigrants had just arrived in Ireland from England.
Now there is a dispute between the governments of Dublin and London over these asylum seekers. “Michael Martin”, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, said about this: “It is obvious that more people from England are coming to Northern Ireland and from there to our republic.” And it is clear that this is related to the British policy of Rwanda. The country has applied for asylum, crossing the open borders of Northern Ireland, that is, from England, which is much more than usual. It becomes Britain. He considers these figures as a proof of the effectiveness of his Rwandan immigration policy. “Stop the boats” was one of his main campaign promises, namely to stop asylum seekers from entering the UK through the English Channel with deterrent measures.
Immigrants who enter the UK without documents should be deported to Rwanda. After many debates, the British Parliament approved this controversial plan at the end of April. This was while the British Supreme Court ruled that Rwanda is not a safe third country. He knows, it has led to a tense situation in Ireland. Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris has said that he will not allow the immigration policies of other countries to influence Ireland. He said: Ireland will not provide a cure for other people’s problems.
Harris prefers to return the refugees to England immediately. But this is not possible because due to the controversial Rwandan policy of England, the High Court of Dublin declared England unsafe.
Now Ireland is again planning a law that England declares it a safe third country.
So the situation is difficult. Sunak still doesn’t want to know why her country should take back the refugees. According to the British Prime Minister, if France does not accept the return of people who entered the UK illegally from this country, no return from the European Union will be accepted through Ireland.
According to London’s Daily Telegraph, Sonak is said to have instead suggested that Ireland simply become part of Rwanda’s program.
However, the understanding of the neighbors is falling apart. Irish politician Barry Andrews, who represents Dublin in the European Parliament, called for constructive dialogue and said: “We should try to have adult conversations with each other.” After all, both countries are dependent on each other when it comes to immigration policy.
Indeed, there is a lot at stake for Britain and Ireland. The climate of hospitality for asylum seekers in Ireland has been changing for some time. This country is facing a severe housing crisis. Just last November, violent riots in Dublin, accompanied by xenophobic slogans, shook the political arena in this country. Currently there is even a discussion about controlling the border with Northern Ireland in order to prevent refugees from entering the UK directly.
But Ireland again rejected this plan did After all, keeping the borders open was an integral part of the Brexit negotiations to prevent a resurgence of conflict in Northern Ireland.
In London, Sunak and the Conservative Party He is under pressure. Voters are turning away from this party in droves. Therefore, as a last show of power, Sunak clings to Rwanda’s plan and does not abandon it. The Ministry of Interior has just released a video that provides information about the deportation process. Accordingly, the refugees’ homes are rung and handcuffed into prison vans in preparation for deportation flights to Africa scheduled for the summer.
At the same time, a number of people in London demonstrated against the transfer of migrants to the controversial Bibi Stockholm, a residential ship with up to 500 beds, docked in Portland. In the past, the outbreak of legionella disease had created bad conditions in this refugee settlement. An asylum seeker committed suicide on this ship in December. The police arrested 45 people during this demonstration.
In this way, the victims of the conflicts in London and Dublin are now refugees. Their future is uncertain at first. Only a few traffickers are likely to benefit from these conditions.
According to the English media “Helen McEntee”, the Minister of Justice of Ireland recently announced that up to 100 police officers will send to an open border with the British province of Northern Ireland. They are supposed to identify asylum seekers who can apply for residency status in a neighboring country and enter the Republic of Ireland instead. In addition, the authorities must return people without the necessary documents to the UK.
This plan is of course very controversial in the UK and internationally, but London still supports it. Not deterred: Britain’s Conservative government wants to send almost 5,700 migrants to Rwanda this year. In total, tens of thousands of immigrants in this country are at risk of deportation due to this plan. approved to Rwanda. Accordingly, in the future, people who entered the country irregularly should be deported to Rwanda regardless of their origin and without examining their asylum applications.
Migrants who arrived in the UK between January 2022 and June last year should expect their asylum claims to be deemed inadmissible and deported to Rwanda, the Home Office said. According to official statistics, during this period more than 57,000 people went to Britain in small boats from the English Channel. Rwanda is reviewed in Kigali. If accepted, the refugees will have the right to stay in this East African country and cannot return to the UK.
