The launch of the private sponsorship scheme, Community Sponsorship (CS), allowing individuals to resettle refugees in the UK, seems to be in contrast with the government’s approach towards immigration aimed to implement the hostile environment policy. Using frame analysis, this research looks at the diagnostic, prognostic and motivational framings used by policymakers in parliamentary debates related to CS to understand how the scheme and the hostile environment coexist. The findings show how the used frames allow the government to manage refugee resettlement more as a tool of migration management rather than exclusively as a tool of international protection, and how this strategy implements the UK’s hostile environment.

私人赞助计划社区赞助（CS）的推出，允许个人在英国重新安置难民，这似乎与政府旨在实施敌对环境政策的移民方式形成鲜明对比。使用框架分析，本研究着眼于决策者在与 CS 相关的议会辩论中使用的诊断、预测和动机框架，以了解该计划和敌对环境如何共存。调查结果表明，所使用的框架如何让政府将难民安置管理更多地作为移民管理的工具而不是专门作为国际保护的工具，以及该战略如何实施英国的敌对环境。
