Background
This proposal would unfairly impact the future of thousands of migrants who have followed UK immigrations rules, paid taxes, supported the economy of the country, supported public services and built their lives in Britain.
These individuals form the backbone of many essential services and have made long term life decisions, financial, familial, and professional based on the current 5 year settlement framework.
That cause insecurity and distress for legal residents and their families.
