Kemi Badenoch proposes new law mandating immigrants wait ten years before they can claim any benefits or get British passport
June 08, 2025 · By Ngozi
Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Tory party, emphasizes the need for the Conservative Party to address both legal and illegal immigration. She argues that the current system favors those who break the rules, while law-abiding citizens bear the costs.
Badenoch highlights the issue of low-paid immigrants qualifying for benefits after just five years, which she believes undermines the contributions of British taxpayers. She criticizes the Labour government for rejecting a proposed Deportation Bill aimed at capping immigration and extending the waiting period for benefits from five to ten years.
Legal challenges have hindered attempts at immigration reform, creating delays that undermine public confidence. A commission led by Lord Wolfson KC has been established to explore possible reforms while adhering to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). If reforms are deemed impossible within the ECHR framework, withdrawal may be considered to maintain fairness and uphold British values.

She is right for wanting those who abide by the rules get favoured by the system and not those that break the laws
