How the European Union puts borders before lives. Refugees are the ones in need of protection, not EU’s borders. A thread on what you need to know about EU migration, their externalized borders, and overall complacency in upholding border imperialism #MigrationKorbelDU #Migration
Rhetoric in the news and media portrays #immigrants as a security threat, using words like “illegal” and “alien”. Harsh rhetoric has continued since the 2015 influx of migrants. Attitudes towards migrants and the security threat label is used as a justification for funding.
European Border and Coast Guard Agency @Frontex is the EU agency responsible for border control of the Schengen area. Funding for Frontex has raised from €143 million in 2015 to €543 million in 2021. Frontex has failed to protect the rights of migrants.

Excellent piece by @DimitriosGian on the signalling by a Govt, emboldened by Brexit, that the next step is to “take back control” of human rights too. Insular, short-sighted & ideologically driven - we should take these threats seriously. prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/the-n… via @prospect_uk
This week, FCO minister @nadams told MPs concerned about violent & systemic #humanrightsabuses in India this govt would put #HumanRights at the core of its foreign policy.
