Conservative leadership candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, one of whom will replace Boris Johnson as prime minister, have finally addressed the issue of mass immigration, which has so far been largely ignored throughout their struggle.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has supported an Australian-style plan to relocate asylum seekers arriving in the UK – mostly fictitious as they come from the safe EU member states France and Belgium – to Rwanda for processing and resettlement, but the plan has yet to be developed. It almost got out of hand when the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) blocked export flights.
Noting that he will make more Rwandan-style agreements with third countries, Truss said, “As Prime Minister, I am determined to fully realize the Rwandan policy and to explore other countries where we can work in similar partnerships.”
“I will ensure that our borders have the necessary strength and protection,” he said.
Former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak aforementioned “Thousands of people enter the UK illegally every year” and “[o]Most of the time we don’t know who they are, where they came from, or why they’re here.”
“These are not bad people, but they mock our system and must be stopped.” The previous statement is surprising because at least one sea immigrant wanted for raping and murdering a child in Austria seems to be a real “bad guy”.
Sunak described the migration as an “emergency” and argued that “we do not control our borders”, suggesting solutions such as limiting the number of refugees to be determined by parliament and keeping migrants at sea on cruise ships, arguing that he violated the law. . Human Rights Law.

These are not bad people, but they mock our system and need to be stopped.

“We need to break the cycle of these vicious gangs and prevent people from making dangerous journeys across the English Channel,” Truss said, speaking of his plans to combat illegal immigration.
“I will make sure our borders are good and guarded. I will not be afraid [European Court of Human Rights] and its ongoing attempts to control immigration policy,” he added, possibly referring to the fact that flights carrying immigrants from the UK to Rwanda were blocked by an anonymous European judge, despite being upheld by British courts.
But neither he nor Sunak said they would abolish the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, which persisted despite Brexit, as Attorney General Swella Braverman did in the race for Tory leadership.
Interestingly, veteran Conservatives’ private views on immigration often conflict with their public promises to reduce immigration. Although Boris Johnson made a campaign promise that Johnson refused to cut immigration “from the hundreds of thousands”, neither Theresa May nor David Cameron did.
George Osborne, Finance Minister and Cameron’s right-hand man, said that after leaving parliamentary politics, leading Conservative politicians were opposed to making this public promise private and had decided not to actively cut back on non-EU immigration. [have]”.
