Overview

This analysis shows that recent UK laws distance migrants socially, indicating a denial of their rights and humanity.

Key Points

  • The new UK asylum laws threaten to eliminate the chances for migrants to have their claims heard.
  • The legislation criminalizes irregular migrants, indicating a further distancing from their rights and humanity.
  • Arendt’s thesis suggests that the right to have rights is essential for stateless individuals facing bureaucratic barriers.
  • Failure to recognize genuine refugees obstructs the fundamental political and legal opportunities for 'irregular' migrants.
