The leader of United Kingdom Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has recommended a 15 years limit for immigrants to qualify for British passport.
It was reported that the Nigerian-British lawmaker stated this as part of his party’s immigration agenda.
Badenoch stated Britian remains a home and not a hotel. According to her the measure will assist defend Britian and preserve its economy.
Her words: “Britain is our home. It’s not a hotel. It’s time to speak the truth on immigration and present serious strategies to do something about it. I want to restrict immigration and have being here truly mean anything. We need to modify the way our immigration system operates. So I’m declaring that the Conservative Party is going to do the following things differently. “One, if you want to stay in our country permanently and apply for indefinite leave to remain, the time you have to live here before you apply will increase from five years to ten years. Two, you will have to be a net contributor with a large enough salary, especially if you wish 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 five years, meaning it will take a minimum of 15 years to start an application.
Fifth, you will never be able to obtain a passport or leave to reside in this country again if you enter it illegally or stay longer than allowed.
These modifications, when combined with a stringent cap on the number of applicants, will be the most significant adjustments ever made to our immigration system. Secure borders, fewer people, and an immigration system that at last benefits the British people. This is an additional phase in our strategy to manage our immigration system. If you concur, come along and let’s finish it.
