Anti-migrant hatred is racism in action
Migrants' Rights Network
We stand in solidarity with all migrants in their fight for rights and justice.
Dear supporters,?
We hope you are all keeping safe and well despite the horrific far-right racist violence spreading across the country. We are continuing as best we can to look after our impacted staff and wider community, while harnessing our mutual anger to hold those who spread racist hate and division to account. We have written a joint statement with the?Islamophobia Response Unit, joined our friends in signing a joint letter calling for Parliament to be recalled and have lots more campaigning planned.
Before this violence erupted, we launched our Hostile Office report, as well as a new campaign on Justice for Sponsored Workers. We have also been busy defying the narrative on migration, including explainers and blogs. You can find out more about the work we have been doing this month below.?
Thank you for your ongoing support and rest assured we will not stop fighting against racist, Islamophobic and anti-migrant hate.
In solidarity,
The MRN Team

It is back-breaking work that almost all second and third (etcetera) generation Westerners won’t tolerate for themselves, myself included. I can truly imagine such laborers being fifty to a hundred percent more productive than their born-and-reared-here counterparts. I’m not implying that a strong work ethic is a trait racially genetically inherited by one generation from a preceding generation, etcetera. Rather, it’s an admirable culturally determined factor, though also in large part motivated by the said culture’s internal and surrounding economic and political conditions. However, I believe that once they’ve resided here for a number of decades, their strong work ethics and higher-than-average productivity, unfortunately, gradually diminishes as these motivated laborers’ descendant generations’ young people become accustomed to the relatively more slackened Western way of life. ....
