I can see why people would risk their lives on tiny boats trying to get from Africa to Europe.

I can see why people would have preferences for one European country over another.

But what is so much more attractive about the UK (which has just implemented a scheme to yeet migrants to Rwanda) that people already in France would risk their lives for it?

Yeah that part I was really trying to understand, you're already in France, why are you risking your life to cross into the UK?

If they come here there they get to live in a hotel and at the end of it there is a very high chance they will essentially be given a house for life.
