Immigration

The UK's immigration system requires a clear and fair approach that works for the nation. We can achieve common-sense control by reforming outdated asylum rules, ending the chaos in the Channel, and ensuring every person is properly tracked and accounted for. This will also help alleviate the financial pressures on our public services.

Immigration:

Revised Budget £-4.7 Billion changed by £-4.7 Billion: %

Immigration Allowing Relatives Entry

Policy:

A more sensible approach to allowing relatives into the country would prioritize immediate family, such as partners and minor children, while creating a separate, more rigorous process for extended family members.

Annual Expenditure Reduction of £-2 Billion

Immigration Asylum Seekers

Policy:

Fast track those with no grounds for asylum on preliminary investigation and remove them as Economic migrants.

Stop paying exit fee for failed applicants.

Annual Expenditure Reduction of £-2.5 Billion

Immigration Channel Boat Crossings

Policy:

Stopping payments to France and turning boats around are decisive actions that would send a clear message: the UK is not a safe haven for illegal crossings.

By removing the perception of the UK as a "benefit paradise," we can deter illegal migration and regain control of our borders.

Return the boats with illegal immigrants directly back to that country they came from, without any processing in the UK.

Annual Expenditure Reduction of £-200 Million

Immigration Student Visas

Policy:

We should track student visa holders by providing them with a separate identity number upon arrival, allowing us to record when they leave.

Immigration Work Visas

Policy:

When a work visa is granted, we would issue the individual with a separate identity number to enable tracking.
