The Rwanda Bill is allowing the Tories to scapegoat immigrants and mobilise prejudice for political advantage, writes Tommy Sheppard
It is a horrific piece of legislation which should shame all those who voted for it and which will be a stain on the UK’s reputation as a liberal democratic country. Already the United Nations has said it is incompatible with the Refugee Convention and asked for it to be reviewed. The people in those small boats are trying to find a better life for themselves and their children. They are escaping tyranny and asking for our help. In response, we have declared them criminals.
There never used to be small boat crossings. In 2018, fewer than 300 crossed for the whole year. So what happened? Are more people trying to claim asylum in the UK? Are we really facing some sort of dramatic rise in migration that might provide evidence for the wild Tory claims of invasion and swamping? No, we are not.
Immigration is a good thing. Throughout history, the inward migration of people has been a positive benefit to those countries they call home. Today’s migrants in the main are young, fit, educated, and motivated, many with skills that would be of enormous advantage to us. Far from being a drain on ourWe can only hope that a new government will roll back on the right-wing xenophobia which now underpins immigration policy.
