Background
We urge the Home Secretary ,the UK Government and the parliament to: Protect the integrity of immigration policy: 1-Respect and retain the 5-year ILR path for those already on it. 2-Communicate clearly and prevent needless uncertainty and distress. 3-Respect the commitments made to migrants who built their lives here under existing terms. This is about more than immigration policy; it is about trust, principle, and doing the right thing.
