Bill of barriers for Child citizenship:

The fee for a child registering as a British citizen currently stands at £1012 and the home office confirms that the cost of registration to be
only £372.
2/6
The remaining £640 is therefore money made above the delivery of the service. Therefore, this level of fees do not reflect the cost of registration. And subsequently, under this government’s watch,
3/6
people have been prevented from accessing the immigration system leading to exclusion and isolation for children who are denied citizenship due to these barriers in their way. Citizenship should be about cost,
4/6
it should be about contribution to our communities, but most importantly about inclusivity. However, as the system currently functions, it really is about cost. By design it is about the astronomical application fees,
5/6
and rather than fixing these problems through the immigration bill, which despite its draconian measures, provides a unique opportunity to right this wrong, the government however concerns itself with outlandish and unworkable policies.
6/6
The proposed clause 8 deserves support in order to achieve fairness where the government has failed to and we hope MPs across the house will do right by children in need of a supportive immigration system.

Here’s @LetsStopC9 outside H.o.L on why we have to oppose the racist
#NationalityAndBordersBill

A RACIST PIECE OF LEGISLATION WHICH MUST BE OPPOSED!

2/8

‘It creates an arbitrary two-tier citizenship system that any civilised society should be ashamed of!

It demonises & criminalises Refugees and infringes their rights under the Refugee Convention.

Migration is a human right & no human is illegal.
3/8

It targets British people with Black and brown skin, British people from minority ethnic groups, and makes them vulnerable to losing their entire material lives.

But It doesn’t threaten white British citizens this way.

IF THIS ISN’T APARTHEID, THEN WHAT IS?

Some of the @LetsStopC9 team attended the very important #protest to bring the attention of the House of Lords to the racist #NABB. Many powerful speeches were shared and we have been inspired!

#NationalityAndBordersBill
Our next steps as @LetsStopC9 will be to increase collaboration with other groups who share our goal - to stop the #NationalityAndBordersBill we are thankful to Sam from @WritersofColour for connecting us
We will continue to raise awareness around the #NationalityAndBordersBill and encourage people to challenge it, and will uplift the voices of other organisations working to fight it
