Migrants in Britain have found a way to avoid deportation to Rwanda. They pay tens of thousands for a trip by cruise ship

“I feel safer here than in England because they would send me straight to Rwanda,” a man from Egypt told the Daily Mail.

More than 85 tents have sprung up between Mount Street Bridge and Huband Bridge in Dublin and more are on the way. During the week, the number of temporary housing doubled, writes the Daily Mail.

28-year-old Abdul Rashid from Afghanistan claims that getting to Dublin was very easy because he didn’t need a passport. He did not use a traditional ferry, but bought a ticket for a cruise ship for 2,000 euros (about 50,000 crowns). “It was like a hotel. We had everything available including food. I didn’t need a passport, they only checked the tickets. No one stopped us and kicked us out,” said Rashid, who says he was forced to flee his home country when the Taliban took power there.

“I come from a happy family that had no problems until the Taliban came. My father was killed and the rest of my relatives had to leave their homes. I paid 7,000 euros to get to France and had to go through six different countries to get there. I spent 15 months in France, but they didn’t accept my documents, so I had no choice but to travel to the UK,” he described.

He paid 1,977 euros (49,400 crowns) for a trip across the English Channel on an inflatable boat with 55 other people crammed into the vessel. “It was very dangerous and there were many families with children,” he said.

When he was threatened with deportation to Rwanda, he decided to relocate to Ireland. “I hope to eventually settle in Ireland. I would like to ensure the safety of my family in Afghanistan,” he concluded.

Khyber Ghurzng, 27, who is also from Afghanistan, said he arrived in Ireland on the same boat as his friend Abdul. “We bought tickets, we didn’t need passports. The trip here cost 2000 euros. It was expensive, but we had no choice, we couldn’t do it otherwise,” he said.

Reda Alsaba fled Egypt to Ireland to avoid deportation to Rwanda. “I feel much safer in Ireland because in England they want to send us all to Rwanda,” he said.

Another man, who is a barber by profession and comes from Gaza, has already started offering his services in the tent city.

One tent city, in the center of Dublin on Mount Street, was already liquidated by the Irish authorities at the beginning of May.

The hordes of migrants pouring into Ireland are already causing rifts among politicians. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he is “not interested” in taking in migrants from Ireland because the EU refuses to take back Channel migrants who came from France. He was responding to Irish ministers threatening to propose legislation that would force refugees to return to the UK.

Migrants living in a demolished tent city have thanked the Prime Minister for his decision not to welcome them to Britain, saying they “don’t want to go to Rwanda”.
