Letter: Scrap the new Borders and Nationality Bill and protect human life to avoid tragic deaths.
.
The Bill gives Border Force officers powers to turn migrants away from the UK while at sea, and makes it a criminal offence to knowingly arrive in the UK without permission.
We demand that the UK government take more responsibility in providing safer migration routes and admission to seek asylum.
We demand more to be done to prevent tragic deaths on our shores and in our waters, where people are using their last hope in reaching a safer and better future.
