TL;DR Summary

Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has criticized the UK government's proposed legislation to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, stating that it will fail to resolve the legal challenges surrounding the scheme. Jenrick, who recently resigned, argued that the legislation does not go far enough in preventing the removal of asylum seekers who have entered the UK illegally. While some MPs believe the bill is too tough, others share Jenrick's view that it lacks effectiveness. The government sees the policy as a deterrent to those attempting to make the dangerous journey across the English Channel. Jenrick also expressed his belief that border control would be easier if the UK withdrew from international frameworks.
