Farage promises to deport people with ILR

[Acidburn]

Posting in AIBU for traffic.
Nigel Farage stated he would deport anyone with existing indefinite leave to remain. We are talking about millions of people.
This terrifying. If people live here, work here, have kids and mortgages - where are they supposed to go?

immigrants already have reduced access to benefits.
you need 5 years on work visa with no benefits to get to ILR. You think that someone with a well paid job will immediately quit and get on UC once they get an ILR? Please 🤣

He is a politicain and nothing he says is legally binding....😂

Pay in caring roles will be higher.

That's a very definite statement. Tell us - when is this coming into effect, who is making it happen and to what level will caring pay rise? Most importantly, please provide the figures that definitely show that current unemployed don't bother to look for work because JSA is "too high".

I'm in the EU, so we have the benefit of a potential workforce of half a billion people, not even counting non European immigrants (of which there are also many).

I'd like to see better pay for social care but how are we going to fund it?

Council budgets have been stretched since the central funding cuts 2010 onwards. They have less central funding and increased statutory responsibilities.
Or are people arguing to pay more in council tax?

I presume that means that we'll all be paying more for care if we need it. Plus higher taxes to fund the care of those who can't pay for themselves?

Who would become a doctor or a nurse if carers are going to be on 60 grand a year?

The government is currently spending over £18,000 per person in the UK. Something has to give.

Is it?

You'll be able to demonstrate your assertion. Right? Link please, to the UK government agency source you got it from.

Care worker pay will rise because all will be for the best in this best of all possible Reform worlds. There will be no problems, everything will be sorted out, we can pretend climate change isn't happening, there will be no tax and plenty of services, and really, I don't know why anyone is questioning any of this.

Do we so get unicorns with Reform "policy"? Or was it just for Brex(sh)it? 🙂

No if not agree. People who claim pension have paid into the UK system for 35 years? Have the immigrants paid in the same amount in total?

Made up rubbish which will never happen. Much like the Tories scheme and Labours one out and a thousand in daily scheme. Make that none out. It's a farce.

What's really funny is that my dad and my brother have indefinite leave to remain. But they are Trump supporting Americans who supported Brexit.

I know Farage wouldn't have meant my white family but this just shows what an actual policy moron he is.

No I'm quite aware many people who only work a few part time hours or are on low pay claim it.

Yes but which country doesn’t have aging population issues? Can you say where?

I believe what he says will gain reform numerous votes. I have neighbour who are already making plans to leave the UK and return home.

Yeah I was worried my sarcasm would be lost in my poor writing.

That is a cometely different debate. This is focusing in immigration.

@SuffolkSun exceptions include those granted refugee status, qualifying EEA nationals, Commonwealth citizens with right to abode, Ukrainian nationals under various schemes, primary carers of EEA children, permanently incapacitated EEA workers and those with pending asylum claims.

I’m a British net contributor, and I’d rather pay for migrants than racists, given the choice.

Me too!

But if we can find a way of deporting the racists, I'm all in.

I don't think it's a different debate. It's all interlinked.

Hes a modern day idi amin

Indeed.

He's an idiot with no idea about how to actually run a country.
