As an amendment to motion S6M-19252 in the name of Russell Findlay (Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing), leave out from “believes” to end and insert “recognises the UK’s obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention to offer protection and sanctuary to those fleeing persecution and conflict; further recognises that many people who are seeking asylum do so as a direct consequence of decades of UK foreign policy and imperial intervention; rejects the hostile environment created by successive UK administrations’ immigration policies, which have restricted the rights of migrants and people seeking asylum and forced many into poverty and destitution; celebrates the contribution of New Scots to the culture, public services and communities of Scotland; urges the UK Government to urgently establish safe and regular routes for people seeking asylum, reject divisive and xenophobic policies that are harming communities, and restore dignity and respect in the UK's immigration and asylum system, and supports a compassionate, rights-based approach that welcomes refugees and asylum seekers as members of Scotland’s communities.”
