This is why I am voting Restore Britain.
Sure, it could be more brutal, but this is a damn good start.
Pakistan and Afghanistan can deport millions, but if Restore does it then its "beyond the pale".
The incoming foreign wave of low-skilled mass settlement and citizenship must be reversed.
Restore Britain is today making these commitments to the British people.
- We will abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain entirely. No further ILR grants will be permitted.
- Revoke all existing ILR grants. A Restore Britain Parliament will legislate to terminate existing ILR permissions and, where appropriate, replace them with a system of time-limited visas, subject to the strict criteria contained in our immigration Red List. Those who don't meet that standard will leave. As previously stated, immigration from the third world into Britain will end.
- Entirely end the routine pathway from temporary visas to citizenship - living or working in Britain will no longer provide a route to naturalisation.
- Cancel naturalisation grants made from today onwards. We will introduce retrospective legislation to revoke every citizenship granted, as of today, under the existing immigration system. Put simply - the current naturalisation system has been subject to such widespread abuse and fraud, we no longer recognise it as legitimate. Following this, those individuals will again be subject to our Red List.
- Going further than that, Restore Britain will create a dedicated body to review naturalisation grants going back decades, audit original applications, investigate fraudulent citizenship awards, assess the contribution made to our country and pursue deprivation wherever appropriate grounds are established.
- There will be one exception to the proposed citizenship cancellation policy - citizenship obtained through marriage to a British citizen who was born in Britain with at least one parent also born in our country.
- And crucially - we will enforce immigration departures. Where individuals have no lawful right to remain under the replacement system, departure and removal requirements will be enforced.
Ending ILR is not enough. It will be too late - the consequence of ILR is citizenship, permanent citizenship. The staggering betrayal of the last Conservative Government must be undone.
The sheer scale of numbers is impossible to fully comprehend.
They will stay, they will claim benefits, they will live in social housing.
They will be naturalised.
They will get a passport.
They will become ‘British’.
Most importantly - they will vote.
It will cost us hundreds of billions. It will corrode our democracy. It will be the final end for our high-trust society.
It cannot be allowed to happen.
We will abolish ILR, end permanent settlement by default, and reverse the incoming wave of mass naturalisations.
A Restore Britain Government will undo the damage.
Not tolerate it, or manage it, or control it.
Undo it.
