MEMBERS of Parliament must act with humanity and reject the government’s “callous” Nationality and Borders Bill that aims to slam the door on refugees, campaigners said today.

Rights groups made last-ditch appeals to MPs to reject a series of anti-refugee measures in the legislation when it returns to the Commons on Tuesday. 

If passed, the Bill would lead to asylum-seekers being criminalised for entering Britain without permission and potentially sent to remote islands for processing.
