The commentator warned that the US had ‘watched Europe’ as it suffered under the strain of fresh migrant arrivals but had not learnt any lessons

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have been tipped to follow in Britain’s lead and create their own Rwanda plan as migrants continue to flood across the southern US border.

Thousands of migrants are currently trying to cross the US border every day under Biden’s watch.


However, the president has been blasted for failing to even “acknowledge the problem”.

In the UK, the controversial Rwanda plan scheme would aim to send asylum seekers and illegal immigrants to the African nation while asylum claims are processed.

Speaking to GB News, Bob Cordaro, host of the Bob Cordaro Show on WILK Newsradio, explained how the US is “copying Europe’s migration errors”.

When asked about whether the US could launch its own version of the Rwanda plan Cordaro said Biden is not considering any sort of similar scheme but that “the Republican Party is”.

“The unfortunate part is that the United States is copying Europe's migration errors,” Cordaro told GB News.

“How and why? I don't know. They haven't learned a thing, but they're proceeding at a pace.

“I don't think we're even at the point where we could [do a Rwanda scheme].

“The American left, who is in charge of the Democrat party, who's in charge of so many of our cities, but is certainly in charge of the border and immigration issues, I don't even think they've acknowledged the problem yet.

“So we're a long way from coming up with common sense solutions such as having people from certain cultures that need to migrate go to places where the culture is similar.

“But I don't see us being that wise. I think we've watched Europe, we've ignored the calamities that have occurred and the oncoming train that the migration crisis has caused in Europe culturally, economically and so forth.

“No, I don't think they're they're looking at it at all.

“I think the Republican Party is, but certainly not this crew.”

The comments came just before 37 Tory MPs abstained from yesterday’s vote on the Rwanda Bill.

Although the bill passed its second reading with a majority of 44 votes, a significant number of MPs, including former Home Secretary Suella Braverman and former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick, abstained due to concerns over the legislation.

Speaking on the situation on the southern US border, former Uvalde mayor, Don McLaughlin, told GB News’ Jacob Rees-Mogg that his town was plagued with what he called the “got-aways”.

The Texan mayor told Rees-Mogg: “Well, one of the things that we deal with is what they call ‘the got-aways’. The foot traffic and then the high-speed chases.

“I mean we have high-speed pursuits on a daily basis at Uvalde, anywhere from two to four a day. Then they come in the community and they bail out and run through the neighbourhoods and so forth.

“And so that ties our law enforcement up all day trying to round up these people because we don't know who's in these cars.

“So it's just really frustrating. Now the influx has gotten so much that people are even walking from the border through our town and community.

“And as they go they have a sense of entitlement and they steal, they take what they want and really don't think they have any regard for anybody's property or anybody's safety.”
