Vote for Brexit, stop the boat – Immigration’s gate posts keep moving forward while those who oppose it will never be appeased | Nesrine Malik

one A few weeks after the Brexit referendum, a friend of mine who kept the vote told me what the biggest benefit was. “We will never hear about immigration again,” he said. “If you let people control the boundaries they want, logic will do it, then Brexit will eventually disband immigration, which is a question that politicians can exploit and the country can get along with all the other important things.” And, well, let’s say, this prediction is not made at such a huge level that there is no need for subsequent conversations.

Because that’s not how the whole immigration works. The goal post is always moving. There is nothing to clarify that Nigel Farage got everything he said, a country that poured out of the EU and ended the freedom movement, just letting another person get bored around immigration issues – guess what, only British reforms can wield it! Nothing is enough. Just check the escalating crackdown in the United States and the viewing network continues to grow wider. Within a few months, the crackdown on immigration has expanded so rapidly that record and undocumented immigrants are Fear of leaving When the National Guard patrols the streets, their homes are to buy groceries or go to work.

It begins with a border, a boundary so porous that it must be regulated with military force and those treated with maximum punishment. People who cross the border are portrayed as “invaders” who intend to perform some criminal or exploitative acts. Right-wing politicians in Britain have always been Speaking of “invasion” for many years. After Donald Trump took office for the second time, he codified the constitution that protected the invasion from invasion to include immigration.

The southern border of the United States is now militarized Armored vehicles previously stationed in Iraq Located there. The crossing has been falling since Trump became president, but that decline has accelerated since he took office. In April this year, they fell 94% in the previous year. Is it enough? no. Because in reality, numbers are irrelevant: the key is to maintain gorgeous power. “Current is 95%. But 95% is not 100%,” Brigadier General Jeremy Winters says Response drops.

When the British media suggests that it might be a “gunboat diplomacy” about the arrival of small boats – 2024 makes up for this 4% of total UK immigration arrivals – Something similar is playing. These responses are about the pose, not the result.

And it won’t stop, it can’t actually stop. Because what about those who are already in the country? From undocumented to law-abiding and residency under the new law (ICE) that empowers U.S. immigration and customs enforcement The permit has been arrested while the Trump administration Impressed by “crime” It is the main criterion for detention. Ice is becoming The largest police force in the United Statesand its wielding power, its high octane number arrested in public places (some Including flash grenades) and Confront the publicagain thinking of a big, tricky problem with the look, not solving it. Trump decides he wants to expel millions, if these millions don’t actually exist, Calling old laws And their redefinitions, they can be created.

Once he secures the border by automatically expelling all those who arrive at the boat, Farage intends to Deportation During the five-year parliament, there were 600,000 people. Like Trump’s numbers, pick it off from the air and then the whole plan revolves around it. The road is moving in only one direction: establishing large law enforcement agencies, rewriting or canceling the law, and even reinterpreting the concept of legal residence. It is entirely foreseeable that those who arrive irregularly and are granted leave can be placed in an illegal state by their grandfather, thereby adding it to the number of intruders. If you think it’s dramatic fortune telling, you won’t keep paying attention.

Once there is a climate that is a country that fights immigration on the borders, streets and workplaces, how can it stop it from extending to British citizens? The concept of the British is slipping and someone redefines “born in England”. When Academic Matthew Goodwin nation “Now, more than 50% of London’s social housing is occupied by non-British people,” he said a person corresponding to people not born in the UK, many of whom are naturalized citizens. The fixation of non-local populations without rights at the time also extended this unstable attitude to those with citizenship. As a result, mixed families include those with citizenship and those without citizenship, and they become the weakest protected families. In the United States, citizens, In some cases, childrendeported as part of the repression.

One could say that what the facts or numbers are doesn’t matter, because sheltered hotels are inflammatory and the boats make people feel scared. It’s the job of politicians to ease public attention And meet them. But this assumes that the public is always in the same place, without being influenced by politics and media, exacerbating the sense of crisis and then constantly moving it to the next phase of repression. When Keir Starmer delivered a landmark speech, a series of measures were announced to ensure that immigrants must “earn” the right to hospital, Daily Mail Capslocs Title It is “there is no limit on immigration in the Labor Party’s crackdown.”

That’s because the core issue of the immigration crisis is not “too much”, but “very few are enough”. The answer is “less than zero”. And, because that’s not a possible scenario, no matter what oath, solution or policy is offered, there isn’t enough. Whenever a decisive solution is implemented (whether it is Brexit, deportation, the increase in mobilization of the navy), the voice chorus tells us that these are necessary renovation measures and then immediately forget when and when to ask for the next measure and register.
