In recent days, there has been significant misinformation, distortion and deliberate mischaracterisation of Restore Britain’s immigration policy.
Here are the principles that underpin our position.
Restore Britain’s approach to immigration is founded on one simple idea - the immigration system must serve the national interest of the British people. That is all. Nobody else.
If you don’t agree with that, then stop reading - go and vote for somebody else.
Illegal Immigration
Restore Britain will implement a comprehensive programme to identify, detain and deport individuals who are present in the United Kingdom unlawfully.
We have already published the most detailed and comprehensive deportation framework ever produced in Britain, setting out the legal, operational and administrative steps required to restore the integrity of our borders.
We have the plan already. We are now seeking the power to implement it.
Here it is to explore for yourself. As you can see, this is an incredibly comprehensive plan which addresses exactly what needs to be done.

Refugee statuses will be revoked from those who have entered the country illegally in recent years, and they will be deported back to where they came from or a third party country.
We will implement an environment so hostile, that the illegals will remove themselves.
Court transcripts will be released to reveal to the British people the extent of the crimes that illegals have been inflicting on the British people. All data will be published. Restore Britain will be honest with the British people.
Every man or woman living in Britain illegally will be deported. There will be no compromise, no apology, no backtracking. We will do it. They will all be removed.
Legal Immigration
Our objective is that, for the foreseeable future, departures will far exceed arrivals.
Net Negative Immigration.
We will conduct a full review of visa routes and suspend or close those which do not serve Britain’s economic, social and security interests.
Immigration policy will be evidence-based. It will consider rates of criminality, visa overstaying, economic contribution, integration, and national security considerations.
Visa routes from entire countries will be closed - Pakistan, Somalia, Albania, Afghanistan to name a handful.
‘The Red List’.
Restore Britain will drastically strengthen requirements for those already living here, including English language capability and economic self-sufficiency - if a foreign national is living in our country and unable to speak English, they will leave. If they are unable to support themselves financially and rely on the British taxpayer for funding, they will leave.
Access to public benefits and subsidised housing must not act as an incentive for migration.
Foreign nationals will not be eligible to claim benefits or live in social housing. If they are reliant on this support, they will leave.
These systems exist to support British citizens.
All confidential Government datasets will be published - a nationality breakdown will be released for welfare claimants, crime, tax contribution and more.
Restore Britain will be honest.
We will prioritise the removal of foreign nationals who commit criminal offences or who present a threat to public safety or national security.
Foreign Islamists will be deported, in the many thousands - this is a process that will begin on day one of a Restore Britain Government.
The revocation of British citizenships from dual nationals who wish to kill us will become normal.
If those individuals give up their secondary citizenship in an attempt to remain in Britain, we will take whatever steps necessary to reverse that process.
We will also pursue robust international agreements to ensure that foreign nationals subject to deportation are accepted promptly by their countries of origin.
A deportation ‘NATO’.
Restore Britain supports a tightly controlled migration system focused on the British national benefit.
This will include a limited number of ultra skilled migrants whose presence clearly strengthens Britain’s economy whilst implementing far stronger safeguards against fraud and abuse.
Those foreign nationals who already live in Britain, work hard, pay their way, speak our language, integrate well, contribute to society and want the best for our country will be welcome.
If they do not do those things, they will be asked to leave.
Millions must go.
We make no apologies for saying that.
Our spouse visa system will be eased for non Red-List countries, enabling and encouraging British men and women to build a life with their foreign spouse in Britain. That is good immigration, that is positive immigration.
Logical. Fair. Reasonable.
A migration system that serves the British people, and the British people only.
That is all we are proposing.
Restore Britain will restore control and will restore fairness in Britain’s borders.
