It’s extraordinary to me that these people have traveled through many safe countries without seeking asylum. Why is that?

Britain needs to follow Hungary Poland and Denmarks stance on immigration. Put your own citizens first . Stop making out we're all raving racists. Kick out the tories and Labour. Time to try something different because the tories and Labour between them have seriously destroyed our way of life and culture

[KenZaracki]

Grown men running and leaving their families instead of fighting for their country. I dont feel bad at all

[christinefiedor]

I live in Australia. Our government is currently trying to pass a bill to prevent people from Iran, Iraq, Russia, South Sudan and Mozambican ever coming to Australia . This is because these countries refuse to take failed asylum seekers back. These are people that have served jail sentences for serious crimes. Desperate situations call desperate measures. Bottom line is surely any governments duty of care lies in protecting the people that elected it?
It’s time the definition of what constitutes a refugee was updated to reflect the many changes since its inception in 1951. It was initially meant for political asylum only but has been allowed to morph into much more and is being exploited by lawyers, some charity groups, people smugglers and the people that enter a country by irregular means. The west simply cannot accept that wants to come. And people are starting to rise up.

"I came to your country illegally, and im now being deported. It's so unfair" wtf kind of mental gymnastics is that 😵‍💫

[robertcreighton]

They seem like economic migrants rather than refugees

[vickyingramnymann]

Remove all economic migrants from UK. We are under enough financial strain.

[christinecraig]

How about helping our homeless men in this country! No virtue signalling points for that though is there..

[stephenwilson]

If they come here illegally there not welcome, End of

[anthonysmith]

This charity should be locked up then deported with the illegal immigrant spongers.

[CarlosKurtzOficial]

IF THEY ARE REALLY IN DANGER ⚠️ IN THEIR COUNTRY, WHY THEY DONT STAY IN FRANCE

[kerry]

they paid, they got on a boat, they're economic refugees, not asylum seekers.

[ryansweeney]

This charity should be charged with treason

[mr_.]

Why not ask them what they had expected from the UK

[IcedEvolution]

With our politicians, I'd warn anyone not to bother seeking refuge in the UK

[fawzydjaiou]

Rwanda is safe enough for them, no room left in Britain

[malcolmmorrison]

I am starting to feel like a stranger in my own country.

[eyrzfvy]

Send them to Rwanda they just cant come here and get everything for free housing benefit and nhs while the people of the UK pay there taxes

[bikorasysteme]

My friend I am Rwandan I love my country is safe more than uk country love their citizen very much I don’t wish leave my beautiful country

[Ashfaq]

If these migrants have enough money to pay people smugglers. Why don’t they use this money to apply for a safe or legal route ?
