It isn’t too late

I fear policies like this have a hugely negative impact. Creating a group of people potentially not protected by human rights, increased potential of profiteering via trafficking and an economy of inhumane wages. I don’t like sharing political posts but this really scares me.
If you come to the UK illegally: ➡️ You can’t claim asylum ➡️ You can’t benefit from our modern slavery protections ➡️ You can’t make spurious human rights claims ➡️ You can’t stay
