    How is it illegal? They arrive illegally. How is it too expensive? They bleed the country dry. How is it only a small proportion of refugees? the vast majority are refused asylum. Why can't a country defend it's borders from illegal immigrants invading the country?

    If Death Penalty for illegal Migration, was inforced
    in all countries!
    THERE Will BE NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ANYMORE.!! 🤓

    So easy, we do create our own problems, trying to be nice and politically correct. Meanwhile we continue being invaded.

    They're making themselves our problem.
    But this way brings the problems back to them.
    Especially when we are talking about MUSLIMS INVADERS

  11. @AnotherMartinez

    February 11, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    BS – off shoring works. For as long as hungry, poor people have nothing to lose (the case of ALL illegals), there will never be a wining position for the rich countries. Putting these illegals in subpar conditions has the immediate deterrence objective

  12. @itzJKB

    And the UK copied Israhells rwanda policy which is the origin of this policy

  13. @pavelimani

    Deport them to China or Russia . They have a lot of space

  14. @Neema150

    February 11, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    Correction! UK and Australian style of deportation, selling immigrants to other countries which is not surprising considering that they built their economies on enslaving and selling people. [Not “Rwanda-style deportation”] Do your research before you make your videos for your credibility if you have some.

  15. @amirfatemi8317

    February 11, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    To Europe: 1) Don't invade and ruin their countries and economies at first place. 2) Ease up legal migration possibilities to create more productive incentives. 3) Spend a fraction of the same resources put into Rwanda schemes in supporting new migrants in finding their way into the society. 4) Emphasize the value of immigrants to the locals.
    Take these measures instead of cartoonish measures and you'll solve the problem.

    Sincerely yours,
    A migrant in Europe

    Sooo, basically you are saying that the issue won't be resolved with this either and the only option left to these countries (and their populace) is to either accept societal collapse in a decade or leave the UN refugee convention and become more authoritarian states… Well done international law.

  20. @FatRonaldo1

    February 11, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    So it’s fine for countries to refuse to take their citizens back from the EU who have been deported, but it’s wrong for the EU to stop them entering in the first place

  21. @lodepublishing

    Uh… the UN, the paper-tiger (that can't fight its way out of a wet paper-bag!)…seriously, any western country can ignore the UN if they want to (just like the US did when going after Iraq without a UN-Mandat!)…I bet the US (or Britain or both!) would lock down the security council, so veto-lock!

  28. @dreamingflurry2729

    February 11, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    It is the right thing to do! Those "irregular" migrants (no: Not refugees – if you arrive in German you crossed several save countries to come here!) are criminals! Why? Crossing the border without authorised passports (in the EU, citizens of member states may cross borders without any care in the world, but everybody else would have to have a visa etc.) is a crime. So yes: Gobble them up, put them on (military!) transport aircraft (no: Not fancy charter planes or regular flights!) and fly them out and if they come back again without approval (and a plane ticket to fly here directly)? Same procedure!

    note: I live near the migrant-center in my city (in Germany) and while I haven't heard that the migrants are causing a lot of trouble, they are being watched by a lot of security dudes for a reason I guess!
