Tens of thousands of unauthorised (không được phép, trái phép) migrants (người di cư) who seek sanctuary (nơi trú ẩn, nơi ẩn náu) in the UK will be flown more than 4,000 miles to Rwanda under a new set of immigration policies (chính sách nhập cư), Boris Johnson has said.

The prime minister insisted at a press conference that the African state, criticised last year by the UK for its human rights record (hồ sơ nhân quyền), was one of the safest countries in the world. He also announced that the Royal Navy would take over patrolling (tuần tra) the Channel to intercept (ngăn chặn) small boats from France.

Home Office insiders confirmed the plan was to give detainees (người bị giam giữ) a “one-way ticket” to the country and “encourage” them to establish new lives there.

The home secretary, Priti Patel, visited the Rwandan capital, Kigali, on Thursday to sign what the two countries called an “economic development partnership”.

The timing of the announcement has led to claims that Johnson is using the policy to deflect from becoming the first prime minister to be found guilty of a criminal charge while in office.

Speaking at a press conference in Kent, Johnson said the scheme was needed to “save countless lives” from human trafficking by breaking the business model (mô hình kinh doanh) of traffickers (bọn buôn lậu người).

“The deal we have done [with Rwanda] is uncapped, and Rwanda will have the capacity to resettle tens of thousands of people in the years ahead. And let’s be clear, Rwanda is one of the safest countries in the world, globally recognised for its record of welcoming and integrating migrants,” he said.
