That's a despicable view to hold. Plenty of banter on here but the thought that we should kill people trying to reach the UK, some of them women and children, turns my stomach.
Oh Rwanda

Well the bible encourages slavery and genocide so perhaps not so hard to understand.
LOL, if you say so dear. Listen: I know there's a global refugee crises and we all know that's not going to change anytime soon, it's sad, tragic, unpalatable etc etc etc but we are where we are.
What are the choices?
Send overseas aid to help developing countries and incentivise people to remain and help build their countries? nope, tried that, didn't work.
Let them all in regardless of numbers and hop for the best. The best will very likely mean the collapse of society as we know it.
Try everything to discourage them.

You know, I support the idea of making it harder for the usual 20 something, male freeloaders, to get away with it. What you just said though, that ain't right.
The only good thing that can be said about Rwanda is that it is currently an improving place. 
genocide, the real thing seems to have caused them to pursue a different direction. Some buts
The climate is temperate to subtropical, with two rainy seasons and two dry seasons each year. Rwanda has a population of over 12.6 million[11] living on 26,338 km2 (10,169 sq mi) of land, and is the most densely populated mainland African country; among countries larger than 10,000 km2, it is the fifth most densely populated country in the world. One million people live in the capital and largest city Kigali.
Kinyarwanda is the national language while English is the primary medium of instruction in secondary and tertiary education. Swahili, the lingua franca of the East African Community,[293] is also spoken by some as a second language, particularly returned refugees from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and those who live along the border with the DRC.[294] In 2015, Swahili was introduced as a mandatory subject in secondary schools.[293] Inhabitants of Rwanda's Nkombo Island speak Mashi, a language closely related to Kinyarwanda
The cuisine of Rwanda is based on local staple foods produced by subsistence agriculture such as bananas, plantains (known as ibitoke), pulses, sweet potatoes, beans, and cassava (manioc).[319] Many Rwandans do not eat meat more than a few times a month.[319] For those who live near lakes and have access to fish, tilapia is popular.[319] The potato, thought to have been introduced to Rwanda by German and Belgian colonialists, is very popular.
Despite these improvements, however, the country's health profile remains dominated by communicable diseases,[280] and the United States Agency for International Development has described "significant health challenges",[281] including the rate of maternal mortality, which it describes as "unacceptably high",[281] as well as the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic.[281] According to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, travelers to Rwanda are highly recommended to take preventive malaria medication as well as make sure they are up to date with vaccines such as yellow fever.[282]
Rwanda also has a shortage of medical professionals, with only 0.84 physicians, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 residents.[283] The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is monitoring the country's health progress towards Millennium Development Goals 4–6, which relate to healthcare. A mid-2015 UNDP report noted that the country was not on target to meet goal 4 on infant mortality, despite it having "fallen dramatically";[284] the country is "making good progress" towards goal 5, which is to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio,[285] while goal 6 is not yet met as HIV prevalence has not started falling.[286]

Said it many times, we need some Fake News, about rightwingers with pointy things sinking their boats in the channel. Pictures of a deflated zodiac and floating niqabs would help.
Considering there are far less coming than there were 20 years proves that’s total bolox
Rwanda, at present is at peace and doing OK.The only good thing that can be said about Rwanda is that it is currently an improving place.

What will be the effect on the social fabric of Rwanda when 1000's of foreigners are dumped on its doorstep.
These foreigners are classified as not good enough to stay in the UK but good enough to stay in Rwanda.
Imperialism never dies, it just reinvents itself to suit the prevailing prejudices.
Each will be accompanied by a payment from the UK, will that not help Rwanda?
UK already makes payments to support illegal migrants in the UK but it doesn't stop the negative effects on society.
So why not just return them to France.....oh yes a Brexit plus we no longer have the Dublin agreement and can't....
If the number of boats fall so will the number of people arriving that way.
I do know that all countries are trying to dream up better solutions to the refugee problems. I'd also point out that the people who are left in Rwanda wouldn't be remaining here anyway. Also that refugees might start turning up in Rwanda. They expect it to have most effect on 20 something male singles. Not kids or families and the unwanted of course but the majority have good reasons for being refugees.
I believe the Antarctic is very nice at this time of year as well.
