UK govt always headlines immigration policy with safe borders, sending back from ‘illegal routes’, dismantling people smuggling. Latest target Iraq. Still no safe routes. Still scapegoating the most vulnerable. Still ignoring their evidence. Still racist.

Meanwhile the reality of migration to the UK is too often like these stories: Lives are eaten away in the limbo of Home Office paperwork and incompetence. Everyday bordering is a crime against our common humanity. Join us to fight it in your communities.

Take the latest announcement: new surveillance technologies for the NCA, and celebrations of the deportations since they came to office. Nothing about supporting communities, reducing backlogs or enabling the positive contributions that migrants make 2/3.

The PM has announced two new elements of this government’s approach to boost border security and restore order to the asylum system.

The govt has finally published its independent review on the historical roots of the Windrush scandal. It clearly demonstrates the persistent connection between racism and immigration law. Current policies continue this trend

This is the argument we need to hear from more of the media. Journalists pander to govt and ask all the wrong questions about the continuation of the hostile environment. When will 'safe routes' appear on the news agenda, instead of 'stop the boats', and 'send them back'?.
Yvette Cooper's immigration announcement wont stop the boats. We know what will, don't we?. Me, for @MetroUK
