The current government, the typical rightwingers, all persist in dog whistle rhetoric over asylum seekers, without any thought of resolving the underlying cause of migration. There only argument is not in my back yard.
Their claims of increased crime, etc are produced by the very policies, practices and processes of the government towards asylum seekers.
"Brutal measures to “crack down” on “uncontrolled” and “illegal flows” of people across the Mediterranean Sea and English Channel generate a steady stream of headlines and opinion pieces as part of an enduring moral panic over migration. Scholars and activists have warned that the violent rhetoric of the far-right has slowly seeped into mainstream public discourses, as exemplified by controversial statements from British Home Secretary Suella Braverman about her “dream” of seeing the picture of a plane carrying asylum-seekers to Rwanda on the front-page of The Telegraph, or her statement that tensions over migrants being hosted in British hotels is “understandable” as violent protests erupted in Merseyside."
Government are now crimninalising those they descdribe as activists, those displaying human kindness towards vulnerable people.
To provide undocumented migrants with basic accomodation is a criminal offence. But it is a basic human right.
Conservative Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson accused charities of “fuelling” migrants’ desire to cross the Channel. Such charities, he claimed, were “just as bad as people smugglers”.
