HOME Secretary Theresa May will be asked to halt a campaign urging failed asylum seekers to leave Scotland.
SNP MSP James Dornan claimed the United Kingdom Border Authority (UKBA) material displayed at its office in Glasgow was inflammatory and xenophobic.
One poster, showing a person sleeping rough on the streets, states: "Is life here hard? Going home is simple." Another shows a picture of an aircraft and says: "The plane can take you home. We can book the tickets."
Mr Dornan has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament condemning the campaign. His intervention comes as the city leader urged the UKBA to treat failed asylum seekers with "respect and sensitivity".
Mr Dornan said: "I am writing to Home Secretary Theresa May to find out if she thinks this type of manipulative messaging to people in very difficult situations is appropriate or not.
"Did she authorise this campaign? And if not, does she approve of it? And will she commit [herself] to ending the use of this inflammatory language immediately? There is no room for this type of abhorrent xenophobic campaign which will only serve to make already vulnerable people feel unwelcome and fan the flames of racial bigotry.
"The UKBA clearly has no idea about how modern Scotland treats vulnerable people. Its campaign in Brand Street [Govan] must stop immediately."
The UKBA said the campaign highlighted to failed asylum seekers sensitive advice about returning home with dignity was available. The material was on show in an office used by those who had breached their conditions or had claims turned down.
Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson, said: "This campaign is not reflective of our experiences in Glasgow. We have a proud record of supporting asylum seekers and refugees and we will continue to do all we can to welcome and enable them to play a full part in our city's story. In failed asylum cases we would urge people are treated with respect and sensitivity."
