Archbishop Canterbury Criticism of New Immigration Policy

British asylum seekers are sent to Rwanda.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has used his Easter sermon to criticize the government’s plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda.
It comes as Boris Johnson revealed on Thursday that tens of thousands of male asylum seekers crossing the Channel in small boats would be flown to Rwanda for processing.
Many politicians, charities and human rights groups have spoken out against the policy, with some suggesting it would break international law.
Archbishop Justin said: “This season is also why there are such serious ethical questions about sending asylum seekers overseas. The details are for politics and politicians.” 
"This is a time for resetting the ways of peace, not for what Bismarck called blood and iron. Let Christ prevail! Let the darkness of war be banished," he continued.
 “It cannot carry the weight of resurrection justice, of life conquering death…
“And it cannot carry the weight of our national responsibility as a country formed by Christian values, because sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God who himself took responsibility for our failures.”
According to British government plans, some asylum seekers will be transferred to Rwanda to process their applications.

The BBC's Home Secretary Mark Easton said the deal meant that single men who paid smugglers to be transported to Britain in small boats would be sent to Rwanda to have their asylum applications processed.
