UK Immigration and Asylum Plans – Some Questions Answered by UNHCR

What in a nutshell are the UK’s proposed asylum changes?

They include: 

• restricting access to asylum, including a two-tiered approach — for those coming through so-called safe and legal pathways versus irregular arrivals — as well as the ability to declare many applicants inadmissible and a possibility for “externalization” (processing claims in other safe countries);
• the introduction of temporary protection status for those found inadmissible who cannot be removed; 
• changes to asylum procedures and safeguards, including a “one-stop” appeals process, centralized age assessment, or higher standards of proof for claims and a stronger focus on removals; 
• tightening the National Referral Mechanism for victims of trafficking; and 
• a focus on law enforcement around smuggling and trafficking.

2. To stop illegal migration, thereby preventing criminals from profiting off of people and protecting those who risk their lives to enter the country
3. To remove more easily from the UK those with no right to be present.
