The harmful Borders Bill must be amended  - Join our campaign!

With a record number of deaths on our border, and no plan to introduce safe routes to end them, the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, as drafted, will make things worse not better.

That's why Care4Calais is supporting amendments to the Bill that will improve it. These amendments would:

• Provide assurances that the Government will publish a strategy on the development of safe and managed routes for people to seek asylum in the UK.
• With record deaths on our border, we think the Home Office should report on all deaths in the asylum system, and at our borders. It’s vital there is transparency and accountability, and that press, public and parliamentarians alike have the opportunity to scrutinise the Government over the lives lost - in the same way that immigration stats are published and poured over regularly.
• Repeal all aspects of the Illegal Migration Act and the Nationality and Borders Act. Both Acts led to the extinguishing of the right of people to claim asylum if they travel by irregular routes (such as small boats) and created a system which criminalises refugees.

Join our campaign by asking your MP to support the amendments which aim to address areas harmful to people seeking safety.
