British government signs new treaty with Rwanda

London and Kigali signed a new treaty in Rwanda on Tuesday, December 5, aimed at resuscitating a controversial agreement to expel migrants who arrived illegally in the United Kingdom to this country. The British government is trying to save this flagship measure of its policy against illegal immigration, after the snub inflicted in mid-November by the British Supreme Court, which confirmed that its project was illegal as it stands.

This new treaty “will address the concerns of the Supreme Court”, assured the British Interior Ministry in a press release. Monday evening, the British government announced a turn of the screw to drastically reduce legal immigration this time. The Conservatives have notably decided to increase the minimum wage required to work in the United Kingdom, and to put an end to family reunification for carers.
