Billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money is being wasted on border controls, the detention estate, and shitty asylum ‘accommodation’ aka prisons that isolate people seeking safety from communities. All that money could be spent on good, cheap social housing for EVERYONE.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
