A boat returning migrants to France, captioned as stopping 'an invasion.'
Nigel Farage posted footage of a Border Force vessel returning migrants to France, describing it as necessary to stop “the invasion of our country.”
An invasion is an armed force entering to conquer. People crossing a border to seek asylum aren't that, and calling it that recasts migrants as an enemy.
The word choice sets the terms for what response counts as reasonable: an invasion justifies a military answer that an asylum claim wouldn't.
