U.K. Cracks Down on Refugee Rights in Right-Wing Effort to “Stop the Boats”
Democracy NowAPR 3 2023
The UK’s so-called “Illegal Migration Bill” is an assault on the rights and humanity of migrants, especially child migrants who are just trying to escape danger and pursue a better life. This bill is an act of cruelty, and the international community must stand by the asylum seekers who shouldn't be excluded from the UK.
PM Rishi Sunak and Tory MPs are 100% correct in their diagnosis of the UK’s illegal immigration crisis, and they know the government has an obligation to prevent hoards of people from flooding into the UK on small boats. Measures to stop illegal migration are necessary to not only protect the integrity of the UK as a nation but they are also of great importance to migrants who are often forced into boats and risk their lives.
