Daily Mail  

Migrants in Dunkirk wanting to cross the Channel in small boats have vowed they will just keep coming back even if deported to Rwanda. One migrant at a camp in Dunkirk has told BBC Breakfast it is 'no matter' to him whether he is deported to Rwanda and how he sees it as 'important' to go to the UK Another, left, insisted he would 'keep on' trying to get to Britain even if flown to Rwanda People camping in Dunkirk, northern France, hoping to try crossing the Channel have described the government's Rwanda flight plans as 'inhumane' Their defiance came as former Home Secretary Suella Braverman also warned the bill was not strong enough to be an effective deterrent. People at a migrant camp in Dunkirk, northern France, have insisted today the threat of being put on flights to Rwanda to have their asylum applications processed would not put them off One would-be asylum seeker at a camp in Dunkirk, northern France, insisted Rwanda was not a safe country for migrants He told BBC Breakfast he was willing to take the 'risk' of crossing the Channel to Britain instead More than 100 illegal migrants have already been earmarked for the first wave of Rwanda deportations Rishi Sunak is preparing to make MPs and peers sit through the night to break an impasse over legislation to approve his government's Rwanda bill aimed at stopping small boat crossings 'What we need to see is regular flights being sent off to Rwanda with large numbers of illegal migrants on those flights. Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell called peers blocking Rwanda flights 'patronising' A boat of migrants is seen being picked up by Border Force officials in the English Channel pm April 14 Suella Braverman, during her time as Home Secretary, visited houses earmarked for migrants arriving from Britain during a trip to Kigali in March last year Suella Braverman told ITV's Good Morning Britain today the UK should leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg She was questioned by presenters Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid over her opposition to the Government's proposed Rwanda bill He insisted there was a 'safe and legal route' available to them to come to the UK and urged the House of Lords to 'accept the will' of the House of Commons and the British people. Border Force staff are seen dealing with migrants coming ashore in Dover, Kent, this month The number of migrants crossing this year and arriving at Dover Docks has neared 6,000 Dozens of migrants were seen here crossing the Channel on a small boat on March 6 this year The House of Lords has been refusing to back down in the latest stages of Parliamentary wrangling over the Rwanda bill, supporting amendments the Government rejects And Sir Matthew Rycroft, the head of the Home Office, told MPs last Monday the number of migrants arriving illegally in Britain must fall by about 10,000 for the government's Rwanda policy to prove value for money.
