"Suffer the little children"
"Suffer the little children who come unto Britain, for
theirs shall be the kingdom of the accommodation and removal
centre"
Nationality, Immigration and Asylum bill, chapters 2 &
5, verses numerous
"and deportation, shall follow them, all the days
of their lives."
Nationality, Immigration and Asylum bill, chapter 4, verse
52
The Nationality, Immigration and
Asylum bill, was published last Friday the 12th
of April. Its sheer nastiness beggars description. None of the concerns of those
asked to submit consultative papers on the bill were met. NCADC doubts the
papers were even read.
Children who have no choice of where they are born, or
choice of what countries their parents choose to seek asylum, are the latest
targets of New Labour's immigration paranoia.
Legislation now going through parliament, if it becomes law,
will mean that children on arrival will face Induction Centres, Accommodation
Centres and Removal Centres.
Children held in accommodation centres will be subject
to statutory segregation, they will not be allowed to attend schools or
nurseries outside the centre. (Part 2, clause 30,3).
Children can be served with deportation notices, along
with their parents. (Part 4, clause 52,1)
If they are dispersed into the community, they will find
themselves in the most deprived areas of the UK. If their parents asylum claim
fails, the children no matter how young or however long they have been here, can
be put in detention to await removal. In all of this they will have no
say.
For their parents and individuals the Nationality, Immigration
and Asylum bill, just means more detention and dispersal, which always lead
to discrimination, destitution, self harm, and more than likely back to
detention and then removal. All this they face if they don't die trying to get
here or commit suicide in desperation not to be returned to their country of
origin.
Families in accommodation centres will be means
tested, (part 2, clause 27).
Sentence first, judgement afterwards: Super fast
tracking - a deportation order can be served and removal directions set on the
same day that an asylum claim is made, or any time afterwards, (part 4, clause
56, 4a), though not enforceable till final decision on claim.
These are just a few examples of a thoroughly unjust bill.
David Blunkett said when presenting "Secure Borders, Safe Haven", the precursor
to the bill, this would create a "more robust, faster and efficient
system." Robust it certainly is, if R is for
rotten, O for obscene, B
for brutal, U for ugly,
S for sick and T for tyrannical.
"The bill is even
harsher than the white paper," Habib Rahman, Joint Council for the
Welfare of Immigrants.
"The government's
proposals to crack down on those who abuse the asylum system is in real danger
of cracking down on those who genuinely need it - those who have been persecuted
in other countries, those who have a right to be here." John Wadham,
director of Liberty.
