Immigration
Uncontrolled Immigration has Pushed Britain to Breaking Point
Reform UK will secure Britain’s borders to protect wages, our public services, and British culture and values.
CRITICAL REFORMS NEEDED IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS:
Freeze Non-Essential Immigration
Strict limits on immigration are the only way to
relieve the pressure on our housing, public services, increase wages and protect our culture, identity and values. Essential skills, mainly around healthcare, must be the only exception.
Stop the Boats with our 4 Point Plan
Leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
Zero illegal immigrants to be resettled in the UK.
New Department of Immigration. Pick up illegal
migrants out of boats and take them back to France.
Secure Detention for all Illegal Migrants
All asylum seekers that arrive illegally from safe
countries will be processed rapidly, offshore if
necessary. Those entering from a safe country will
also be barred from claiming asylum or citizenship.
No legal aid for non-citizens. Those rejected will
be returned.
Immediate Deportation for Foreign Criminals
Deport foreign nationals immediately after their
prison sentence ends. Withdraw citizenship from
immigrants who commit crime with the exception
of some misdemeanour offences.
Bar Student Dependents
Introduce new visa rules for international students
that bar dependents. Only international students
with essential skills can remain in the UK. Close
down fake courses and immigration schemes that
abuse the rules.
Stop Health Tourism and Immediate Access to
Benefits
We will impose a requirement of 5 years residency
and employment to claim any benefits in the UK.
Employer Immigration Tax
The National Insurance rate will be raised to 20% for
foreign workers. This would incentivise businesses
to employ British citizens whose National Insurance rate would stay at 13.8%. Essential foreign health and care workers would be exempt from the tax, as would businesses who employ 5 staff members and under. This would boost wages and could raise more than £20 billion over five years to pay for apprenticeships and training for young Brits.
