This podcast episode discusses the UK's adoption of a migration policy inspired by Australia's Pacific Solution, where the UK government plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The plan faced backlash and legal challenges from human rights organizations, but the UK government continued to pursue it. Rwanda sees this plan as an opportunity to offer migrants a better life within Africa itself. However, the future of the policy is uncertain, as the opposition Labour Party considers it a gimmick. Despite this, other countries like Italy and the US are exploring similar ideas, highlighting the importance of deterrence in dealing with illegal migration.
