LONDON - Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced stricter UK immigration rules, announcing the end of what he calls “dirty chapters” and “failed experiments in open borders”.

exist speech On Monday, Starmer vowed to use the new rules to “re-control”, which made it even harder to get a job, family and student visa. Immigration rights advocates criticize him for his wording than the most typical wording His left-wing Labor Party.

The Prime Minister “the damage (immigration) caused to our country is immeasurable.” Write in policy documents.

Stemmer said changes that still require parliamentary approval need to maintain social cohesion, promote investment in local labor and prevent the UK from becoming a "stranger island".

Less than two weeks after his proposal, the far-right anti-immigrant reform party led by President Trump’s confidant Nigel Farage made huge gains in some local and municipal elections in England.

Data show that net migration to the UK has more than tripled over the past decade. Indians are the largest recipients of British visas. Americans have been applying for UK citizenship in record numbers in recent months.

Experts say the changes are intended to reverse the unexpected surge in immigration after Britain left the EU.

"After Brexit, a new immigration system emerged under the last (conservative) government, which was a surprising liberal and the number of immigrants to the UK increased dramatically," said Madeleine Sumption, director of the Immigration Observatory of Oxford. "When they saw how big the numbers were, they started to back off some degrees of freedom and put some restrictions."

“The current government is retaining those existing restrictions and revoking freedoms, bringing us back to a system roughly similar to what we had for non-EU citizens before the UK left the EU,” she said.

Limitations on most types of visas

Several Starmer's predecessors are committed to combating illegal immigration, including Controversial plan No matter where they originally came from, they were to expel people without legal status from Rwanda. (The plan was strike by the court and eventually canceled the plan when Starmer defeated then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in last summer's election.

Although some illegally entered or were not subject to immigrants of minors, Government data shows that the vast majority of immigrants in the UK arrive legally. Changes announced on Monday rule them, making it difficult to obtain most types of UK work and residence visas.

Immigrants and their families will have to pass certain types of work visas to pass higher-level English proficiency tests. And, most immigrants will spend at least 10 years in the country before applying for citizenship, rather than the current five years.

In turn, employers are not allowed to recruit as many overseas workers as possible, especially in low-skilled jobs.

In recent years, the UK has also begun requiring travelers who do not require a tourist visa to purchase visa waivers online before boarding UK-restricted flights.

SUPENT estimates that these changes will translate into a decrease of about 10% in visa issuance. She predicts that immigrants will also spend more time and money on temporary visas.

"Temporary status is obviously not very good for immigration itself," she said. "Because the UK immigration system is actually very expensive for people with temporary visas," she said. "On the other hand, the government's benefit is that they bring more income and throughout the skill system, funds will be redistributed throughout the health service - although that's not a reason for government use."

Polls show that most British people want their government to do more to fight the illegal immigration types, especially as smugglers bring people to the UK to take small boats on French rivers.

But the rules announced by Starmer on Monday only govern the types of immigration for legal types. A recent poll found that most Britons do not want to see a reduced visa for immigrant workers, especially for certain sectors, including workers in nursing homes.

Critics say Stamer's language may cause violence against immigrants

In a statement released in an email, Care4calais CEO Steve Smith said the charity worked with immigrants and refugees to call Starmer's language "dangerous".

"Shameful language like this will only infuriate the fire of the far-right and brave further racial riots, endangering the horrors of war, torture and modern slavery," Smith wrote. "Starmer must apologize."

Nadia Whittome, one of Starmer's own parliamentary laborers, wrote on social media that the prime minister's language "imitates the scary far-right."

Another left-wing MP, Zarah Sultana, questioned whether Starmer's speech was actually written by far-right MP Farage.

There is another former Starmer colleague, Congressman John McDonnell, Comparative The Prime Minister's "Stranger Island" mentioned " Enoch Powell. "Powell Once was A conservative MP who delivered the infamous 1968 speech is widely regarded as one of the most racist and agitator in modern British history.

(Sudana and McDonald were both suspended after a vote against a Starmer welfare policy, although they remain in parliament.)

Meanwhile, opposition lawmakers questioned Starmer's commitment to reducing immigration numbers and said his advice was not far enough.
