US EditionShabana Mahmood vows law reforms to prove migrants 'contribute' to UK society
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood plans to link settlement rights to migrants' social contribution and integration while reforming human rights law to prevent deportation blocks.
- Speaking on Sunday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood vowed to reset migration laws so migrants must prove social worth before settling in the United Kingdom in her first major interview.
- Rising legal arrivals, including another 750,000 in the year to June 2024, and over 1,000 illegal immigrants arriving in a single day earlier this month intensified pressure on Ms Mahmood to act.
- The Home Secretary said human-rights conventions have been misused and promised legal reform, citing taxpayer-funded £600 taxi fares as an example of system abuse.
- Cutting visas to countries that refuse to repatriate, Ms Mahmood pledged to shut migrant hotels and warned that failing to secure borders risks boosting the Far Right.
- The prime minister unveiled a digital ID scheme to make illegal work harder and offer citizen benefits, with mandatory right-to-work phone checks planned by the end of this parliament amid Reform UK pressure.
