I don't really see how this represents any proof that these asylum seekers are illegal economic migrants. Rwanda isn't a safe country for asylum seekers, so it seems reasonable that people would try and avoid being sent there. If Ireland now appears safer, then travelling there from the UK makes sense surely? The position for "illegal economic migrants" hasn't changed substantially, as the likelihood of being sent to Rwanda is low. But if you are trying to reach safety, the threat of death or torture hanging over you might be enough to make you consider Ireland

If the EU is better than the UK, while travel from France in the first place?

The UK has something in common with Ireland that maybe the rest of that EU doesn't perhaps?

They aren't refugees because they ain't white. There does that answer your question? Every single time you hear someone get a deportation boner just remember this and it will explain their "reasoning".

If white = welcome

If non-white = deport the rape-fugee.

Nothing up the sleeves, no complex logic you can't follow, no study you haven't read, just racism as it appears to be.
