What Labour should be doing is creating a new narrative about immigration - about welcoming people who make a contribution but reducing the numbers who don't.
Pretending to be super tough pisses off liberals and won't be believed by Reform voters.

Five steps to redemption for major media:
1. Say directly that Trump is overthrowing democracy. Lose the weasel-wording.
2. Cover mass protests as major news.
3. Treat White House briefings as the travesty they are.
4. Show how Trump’s cuts hurt people.
5. Emphasize that fascism harms the economy.

Broadcasters who repeated this obvious bollocks are not required to make any correction or apologise to their listeners/viewers. And I saw at least two columnists making hay with it. They too will retract nothing.
The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.
Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.
