Protester Joe Confronts UK Home Secretary on Immigration

0:00On April 28th, a 32-year-old protester named Joe, who moved to the UK from Malaysia at H4, heckled home secretary Shabbana Mahmoud over, her tough immigration plans. During a live event in London, he accused her of copying far-right ideas, saying her reforms would trap kids like him in uncertainty. Mahmoud fired back, telling what she called white liberal hecklers to get lost. Joe dismissed her label as laughable since he's a person of color with real stakes. He slammed the policies as cruel, pointing to stats showing 90,000 vulnerable youth stuck in poverty without quick pass to permanent status. These changes would scrap indefinitely for refugees, review asylum every 30 months, and make them wait 20 years for settlement. Family reunions get delayed until they're self-supporting, and overseas workers now need 10 years instead of 5 for permanence. Joe, from the Youth Climate Group Green New Deal Rising, says he's tried emails and petitions, but got ignored by his MP.
