Is this why Johnson refused to even vote on Biden’s bipartisan #BorderSecurityBill? Was THIS the goal?

At least now we know why Mike Johnson refused to sign the bi-partisan comprehensive #BorderSecurityBill last summer. 😡🇺🇸

Like the #BorderSecurityBill, the Gov's new approach (Prevent, Pursue, Protect, Prepare) embeds “counter-terror” powers into #migration policy. That’s why we’ve wasted no time in calling out this cruelty for what it is + launching a petition!

We want the Gov to abandon its plans to further criminalise migration, including the #BorderSecurityBill.
Help us send a message. Sign our petition: buff.ly/GQZ8YaY

🔴Barriers to phone access make - impossible to communicate with immigraiton lawyers;
🔴 Now, the #BorderSecurityBill threatens to imprison even more people—seeking asylum, escaping trafficking, even children.
(2/3)
what can you do?.... 🧵
📺A must seminar to watch from @gardencourtlaw.bsky.social about understanding the current #BorderSecurityBill - why are they doing it? What have they repealed? What this tells us about the new government's approach & how will it criminalize people seeking asylum?

The thoughtful and thorough bipartisan #BorderSecurityBill of early 2024 that Trump had Speaker Johnson kill would have addressed this but Trump had to run on scary immigrants. I live in a border state & Trumps “millions of migrants invading” was and remains laughable, absurd and not true.

We’ve let the Gov know what we think of the #BorderSecurityBill, + have called on MPs to vote it down.
But we can't do this alone. If you want to stand against this cruelty + join us in our message of #ProtectionNotPunishment, you can email your MP using our tool:

The #BorderSecurityBill will turn seeking protection into a national security issue + expand counter-terrorism powers. We’ve called on MPs to vote this Bill down.
But we can't do this alone. Join us in standing against this cruelty:

US Senate passes Repub #bordersecuritybill without Trump tax cuts. Senate Dems had little chance of stopping the budget plan's passage, opposed it in an all night "vote-a-rama" session by filing unsuccessful amendment after amendment and giving floor speeches 🧵2/3
The #BorderSecurityBill is another example of this Gov’s racist + Islamophobic contempt for people on the move.
We’ve been encouraging MPs to vote down the Bill, + we invite you to do the same.

#ProtectionNotPunishment
Some powerful speeches last night as MPs debated the #BorderSecurityBill
As @carladenyer.bsky.social explained - men, women & children seeking asylum in the UK often have no choice but to risk their lives in small boats. Criminalising them & banning support will do nothing to address this problem.
If Trump was worried about fentanyl, he wouldn’t have killed the #BorderSecurityBill last year. So one full year of fentanyl deaths, occurring from that time until now, is on him.
From ghastly, erroneous anti-migrant headlines to the introduction of the #BorderSecurityBill, we end the week more concerned for the safety and wellbeing of people seeking asylum.
@migrantsrights.bsky.social analysis below is a chilling, but impt. read ⬇️
The Gov’s cruelty is the threat, not people seeking safety.
We condemn the #BorderSecurityBill, which strengthens the colonial border regimes that criminalise racialised + Muslim people on the move, + firmly embeds counterterror into migration policy.
