<p>Immigration reporting centres are places of fear for asylum seekers, who have to report to them monthly, weekly or even several times a week. From reporting centres asylum seekers are often detained without warning and sent to removal centres to await deportation. Migrant workers, like the SOAS cleaning staff detained on 12 June, are also taken to detention via IRCs like Communications House.</p>
<p>Communications House is not just a reporting centre - caseworkers based inside are issuing the directions to deport people. It is an integral part of the immigration system. <br /><br />State racism<br />Britain's Labour government has declared war on migrants: <br />‘The message is clear - whether you're a visa overstayer, a foreign criminal or a failed asylum seeker, the UK Border Agency is determined to track you down and remove you from Britain.' Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, 18 March 2009 <br /><br />Racism is the form which national oppression takes within an imperialist country like Britain. Imperialist nations brutally exploit and impoverish oppressed nations, justifying their plunder and wars on the basis that people in these countries are inferior or have brought their oppression on themselves. They then use immigration laws to keep out people fleeing from the resulting war and poverty. The British working class is encouraged to see immigrants as the cause of its problems rather than capitalism. State racism and divide-and-rule government tactics then create a fertile recruiting ground for overtly racist parties like the British National Party. <br /><br />So just as the government's message is clear, ours must be too<br /><br />NO DETENTION! NO DEPORTATIONS!<br />SUPPORT ASYLUM SEEKERS AND MIGRANT WORKERS!<br />NO TO STATE RACISM!</p>
