The Government’s refugee citizenship ban and new immigration Bill are just another chapter of the hostile environment. We can’t let this go on.
The Border Security Bill is making its way through Parliament RIGHT NOW. This is our chance to push back against measures that punish refugees and stop families from being together.
But we need everyone’s voice to make this change happen. From Glasgow to Devon, Derbyshire to Wales, thousands of us have already spoken up. But the Government is pushing back hard. We need to raise our voices louder.
Email your MP today and demand they oppose the hostile environment and stand for compassion.
- What's happening?
The Government's new policies are just another chapter of the hostile environment and continue the same failed, security-over-humanity approach:
👉A new immigration bill that puts borders before people, and dangerous new enforcement measures that could harm refugees
👉 Banning most refugees from ever getting citizenship, framing them as second-class individuals
👉 No commitment to safe routes, leaving refugees with no choice but to risk their lives with smugglers
👉 Live broadcasts of deportations that risk fuelling hate and division
- What's wrong with this approach?
❌ It punishes refugees for a broken system: Banning refugees from citizenship and ramping up border crackdowns won’t stop dangerous journeys – it will only make life harder for people seeking safety.
❌ It puts border security before humanity: Tougher policing treats immigration as a security risk, sending the message that refugees are a problem to be contained, not people who need safety.
❌ It doesn’t stop the smugglers: Right now, there is no visa or process for refugees to apply for asylum unless they arrive in the UK first, leaving them with nowhere to turn but smugglers to get to the UK. Opening safe routes is the only way to end this cruel business.
We need to pressure MPs to use this bill as an opportunity to reform the system and put compassion at its heart. Use our tool to write to your MP now.
- What you can do
The Bill will return to the House of Commons in a few weeks, and some MPs have already been pushing back against the Government's hostile new policies. But we need to be even louder.
Ask your MP to take action to:
✅ Scrap the cruel refugee citizenship ban
✅ Build a refugee system rooted in compassion, not punishment
✅ Let refugee families reunite, without having to rely on smugglers.
