Austria has become the first EU country to follow the UK’s lead and seek to adopt a Rwanda-style deal to deport asylum seekers to a third country.
On a visit to the country on Thursday, Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, signed a migration and security agreement in which Austria stated it would pursue “third country” asylum schemes.
It is the first EU country to sign such an agreement with the UK, whose £140 million Rwanda deportation scheme is on hold pending the outcome of a Supreme Court judgement on its legality.
Austria’s offshoring scheme will differ from the UK’s in that migrants deported to a third country will be allowed to return to Austria if their asylum applications are successful. Those rejected will be returned to their home countries.
Under the UK’s Rwanda scheme, migrants will be deported on a one-way ticket to claim asylum in the central African state unless they can show that it would expose them to a risk of “serious and irreversible harm”.
The agreement represents a coup for Rishi Sunak and Mrs Braverman who are pushing European partners to reform international asylum agreements including the Refugee Convention and European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in the face of a worldwide migration crisis.
Austria has also been pushing the EU to adopt a Rwanda-style scheme across Europe as part of reforms to deal with the unprecedented influx of migrants across the Mediterranean and its eastern borders.
Nothing will happen with it. Too many lefties and NGO’s who constantly harass the program with legal bumps that no flight ever leaves the ground.
It’s why the UK one never works.

Rwanda?The same Rwanda that had a genocide 30 years ago?The same where there is no freedom of speech?No rights for LGXYZ people?Broken womans rights?
1. Get deported to Rwanda
2. Re-apply for Asylum because… Rwanda
3. Profit
Wouldn’t it be easier to just send people back to the country they came from? There’s no way it’s legal to deport people to a third country they have nothing to do with, it already failed in the UK.

What a joke.
This is going to work VERY well /s
1. Get deported to Rwanda
2. Re-apply for Asylum because… Rwanda
3. Profit
