Petition: Common sense immigration rules

Our country is not a hotel, it is our home. This is our plan for immigration.

We think:

  • Newcomers should wait 10 years, instead of 5, before they can apply to stay indefinitely, under the Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) scheme.
  • After that, it should take 5 years, not just 12 months, to apply for British Citizenship.
  • Those who have claimed benefits or housing aid while on a work visa should not be allowed to stay indefinitely. We believe that everyone who comes here should contribute more than they take out.
  • Applicants must not have a criminal record.

We know:

  • Labour MPs have an opportunity to back our plans. We think they should take it.
