Why?

❌ It fails in its purported objective to target smuggling networks, reduce border deaths, or protect migrants;
👁 It's a shadowy power grab by Europol with new mass surveillance powers;
🚨 It further criminalises migrants and people who help them.

What we need are regular pathways for people to come and live in Europe in safety and dignity.
