Immigration.

This will always be a contentious issue with emotions sometimes clouding  people's better judgment.  This party is of the belief that the United Kingdom has through the centuries been enriched in terms of it's culture, it's language, it's politics and it's standing in the world by the peoples from around the world it has welcomed to it's shores.  There is no doubt that our islands are a richer and better place because of this immigration.  However, the world has changed.  The UK has changed.  Long gone are the days of empire when Britain was the workplace of the world.  Only nine percent of the economy is manufacturing based and  the global economic climate has resulted in austerity measures not seen since the dark days of the seventies.  Upon being elected this party would put in place measures to end all immigration into the United Kingdom at the soonest opportunity.  

Measures would include the immediate launch of a bio-metric ID card for all British citizens from the age of sixteen.  The policy will include the forced repatriation of all illegal immigrants to their country of origin.  This is irrespective of whether or not the illegal immigrant has subsequently had a family since his or hers illegal entry into the UK.  We will not stand in the way of any family member who wishes to join their spouse/farther/mother when they are repatriated and will provide them with the finance required to do this.  If the country of origin can not be established or the person refuses to divulge this information, the said illegal immigrant will then be interned and expected to work to pay for their food and board.  This will continue indefinitely until they volunteer the relevant information.

Marriage abroad will not grant the spouse or any offspring automatic British Citizenship.  If a British Citizen wishes to marry a foreign national then we wish them lots of success in their new country.  Any foreign born national who has been granted British Citizenship who subsequently commits a criminal act against the person will have their citizenship revoked upon completion of their prison sentence and will be forcibly repatriated to their country of origin.  There will be no time limitations attached to this policy and it will be enacted retrospectively.  Criminal acts against the person will include any serious assault, mugging, sexual assault, rape, murder, kidnap, living of immoral earnings (pimping), human trafficking  child molestation, child abuse, and others to be decided after consultation. 

Any British Citizen who visits a foreign country with the purpose of participating in activities deemed to be a direct threat to the UK will not be permitted to re-enter the UK.

Those foreign nationals who have settled in the UK as European Union Citizens will be provided with the necessary financial assistance to facilitate their repatriation.  Those who have British born children or a British born  spouse will be permitted to remain after they become British Citizens.

We will continue to provide a safe haven for those people who flee oppression or the threat of death with open arms.  However, any foreign national who arrives on these shores seeking political asylum who has passed through another country which is considered a safe haven will be forcibly repatriated irrespective of the regime in their country of origin.  We expect therefore that if they are genuine in their claims, they will claim political asylum in the first safe country they enter and not continue on to the UK.  

These policies will not apply to  Irish born nationals. Foreign born does not apply to anyone born of British parents abroad.  These policies will remain dynamic and a special committee will be established to review our immigration policy on a regular basis.
