Although, The Rwanda plan is expensive and inefficient, i don't want asylum seekers here as the UK is full

 @9P6X228answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if it is a safe place where individuals can live in freedom and have the chance to develop.

 @9NXM4P6answered…2yrs2Y

Yes if they do not want to be returned to their own country. So long as it’s the relocation is still a safe option and the cost of doing so is less than keeping them in the UK
