"New guidance states that anyone who enters the UK illegally having made a dangerous journey, which could be via boat, but also by means such as hiding in a vehicle, will normally be refused citizenship, regardless of the time that has passed"

FFS this is worse than Patel or Braverman even proposed.

“The racist roots of last Summer's [UK] riots cannot be normalised”

by Institute of Race Relations (IRR) News

“There are multiple signs, [..] that a myopic narrative around the far-right-orchestrated racist riots of summer 2024 is in the making – that normalises racism and forecloses on any discussion of the organised violence of the far Right”

Jeremy Vine: "Isn't this what Americans want?"

My answer: "Question is specifics of
#Trump proposal w threatening of deportation of all 12 to 13 million undocumented #migrants &
#AsylumSeekers in US, many of whom have lived in country for years.

Not only is #Trump threatening deportations, he suspended refugee resettlement, cut ability of asylum seekers to come in fm certain Latin American countries, & shut down app thru which migrants & asylum seekers on Mexican border sought legal entry"

"[A]t the exact moment that the unimaginable has happened—that #Syria has finally thrown off a half-century of dictatorship and might see the end of its civil war—many of #Germany’s politicians are more interested in establishing their opposition to migration and playing to what they imagine is an anti-refugee crowd than in celebrating."

I am back out at the migrant aid camp at the end of the border wall, 20 miles east of Sasabe, Arizona.
I got here a little bit ago but there is no one here. Kindled up the fire to heat a burrito I brought.

Border Patrol just drove out here to do their 8 PM pick up, but no asylum-seekers in camp. They'll come back at about 2 AM. They said it's been busier than normal lately, so I'll probably stay up a while and see if anyone shows up.

There has been a lot of talk of the Forest Service shutting down this camp and the border patrol closing the road to public access, so I want to take advantage of the next couple weeks and get as many photos and interviews with asylum-seekers as I can.

There is a solar powered satellite Internet set up here for everyone to use, which is why I can post from way out here.

[Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin] notes how the language used about slaves has transferred to asylum seekers.

“This thing that we hear often, ‘oh, they’re just economic migrants, they’re not real asylum seekers.’ Yeah, I remind the British that they were economic migrants when they went all over the world [with the empire]’”.
Spot on.
