With respect to Nationality- changes or updates included
The bill aims to help remove the historical irregularities and unfairness of any kind in the British laws. All the additional criteria for British citizenship applications
made on behalf of the stateless children born in the UK would be streamlined and implemented.
Asylum, irregular migration and enforcement action taken against smugglers, illegal workers
The UK has been facing quite a lot of irregular entries followed by late claims of seeking asylum. This now by all means will be strictly curbed and heavy penalties will be laid on those found guilty.
Any or all Irregular persons seeking entry to the UK will be given restricted access to the United Kingdom’s Asylum System and could also be given an inferior immigration status and rights if they are permitted to stay. The Bill also addresses, highlights and allows for the off-shore processing of these claims to seek asylum and organise the interpretation by the UK’s 1951 Refugee convention’s concepts to streamline the asylum activity.
The Nationality and Border Bill introduces several newer ways to dissuade any claims or claims without any and late claims.
The bill also highlights the “priority removal” process, which would include some
new prerequisites to access the legal advice publicly funded, many new fast-track approaches to streamline appeal process or cater to detained cases. The Bill would help increase the criminal sanctions for offences related to illegal entry and facilitating unlawfully any migrant workers or increasing illegal activities and increase the high penalties associated with such crimes by the UK laws. It would not only secure the UK border but also provide the UK border and immigration staff with new and additional authority to stop and redirect ships or vessels out of UK territorial waters, as mentioned under the UK’s international legal responsibilities.
