She said;
“Britain is a home, it’s not a hotel. It’s time to tell the truth on immigration and propose real plans to do something about it.
I want to reduce immigration and make living here actually mean something.
We need to change the way our immigration system works so I’m announcing that the Conservative Party is going to do the following things differently.

One, if you want to stay in our country and apply for indefinite leave to remain, the time you have to live here before you apply will increase from 5 years to 10 years.
Two, you will have to be a net contributor with a high enough salary especially if you want to bring family members with you and if you’ve got a criminal record, you’re banned.

Three, if you’ve claimed benefits or need social housing, you can’t even apply.
Four, we will increase the time before you can apply for a British passport from 12 months to 5 years. Meaning it will take a minimum of 15 years to start an application.
Five, if you enter this country illegally or outstay your visa, you will be banned from ever gaining leave to remain here or a passport.”
According to Kemi, these changes on top of a strict numerical cap on numbers will constitute the most robust changes ever made to our immigration system.
She adds that these changes will ensure lower numbers, secure borders and immigration systems that finally work for the British people.
Kemi Badenoch said this is another step in their plan to control Britain’s immigration system.
She called on all to rally behind them with support so that it can be implemented successfully.
