Immigrants should have to wait at least 15 years before they become eligible for British citizenship, the Conservatives have said.

Arguing that citizenship should only go to people who have shown “a real commitment” to Britain, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch urged the Government to make it harder for immigrants to secure permanent residency or a UK passport.

Mrs Badenoch said: “The Conservative Party is under new leadership. We’re going to tell the hard truths about immigration.

“The pace of immigration has been too quick and the numbers coming too high for meaningful integration. We need to slow down the track for citizenship. A UK passport should be a privilege not an automatic right.”

As well as calling for the amount of time immigrants must live in the UK before they are eligible for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) to be doubled from five years to 10, the Conservatives said those with ILR should have to wait five years rather than one before they could apply for citizenship.

The Conservatives also called for new conditions to be imposed on anyone applying for ILR.

This would include applicants having to show they had never claimed benefits or used social housing, had no criminal record, and would be a “net contributor” to the UK economy.

Most work visas come with a “no recourse to public funds” condition, preventing immigrants with those visas from claiming benefits or using social housing, and in many cases a criminal record will delay or prevent someone receiving ILR.

In an interview with the BBC, Mrs Badenoch declined to put a figure on how much her proposal would cut immigration by, saying only it was “the right thing to do”.

This yeruba woman her parents enter UK illegally want to stop others.

She should know that she is products of illegal immigrants and stop envy, I know her target is Africa migrants her parents will be ashamed of her when ever they are. Very ugly thing.

Immigrants should only be able to apply for British citizenship after being in the UK for 15 years rather than the current six, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said.

She's not thinking she's God. She just doesn't want her new country to be like the shithole her mother ran away from. It's very normal. Isn't it rather embarrassing that 60 years later we have refused to fix this shithole? We keep accusing the white man for every mess we have made of this country.

Migrants don't ever want their new countries to be like the place they ran away from. During the campaigns in America, Donald Trump was in a pub selling cups of ice cream to Americans as a way of campaigning. One Brazilian lady was shocked to see him doing that. She told Trump that she would vote for him and begged him not to let America be like Brazil.

gidgiddy:
Nigerians want her to be "Nigerian"

Unfortunately, there's a reason why Britain is a super power nation and not a third world country like Nigeria............ they don't act like Nigerian!

Kemi cannot afford to act or think like a typical Nigerian, she aspires to lead a country far advanced than Nigeria

Kemi you are not serious with this one.


We will take you serious when you ban corrupt Nigerian leaders like your uncle Bola Tinubu, Buhari, Hopeless Uzodinma, Adams Oshiomhole and co from coming to the UK to hide their loot and to train their children with stolen Nigerian people's commonwealth.




I want to hear Kemi and Trump talk about banning all corrupt African leaders and their children and family members from coming into their countries to buy properties, hide their loots and train their kids. Once you stop issuing visa to any serving Nigerian leader and his kids, then we will take you people serious

If you had a working brain in your IPOB terrorist head, you would know that Kemi Badenoch is only a temporal AUNT JEMIMA SERVANT chucked in there to say nasty things about blacks and immigrants for her right-wing conservative party, to rise in the polls. By the time election time comes in 4 years' time, she will be kicked to the curb and a white Briton put in there.

Kemi Badenoch is in the same Conservative party that supported the Apartheid regime in South Africa, and labelled Nelson Mandela a terrorist and the ANC a terrorist organisation.

Yet your village, Igbotic head actually believes that this same anti-black racist party that has been racist since before your father was born, will put forward a black Nigerian girl from nowhere to become their Prime Minister.

If you think tens of millions of Britons will troop out to vote in a black African woman from Nigeria as their Prime Minister, you display the same tragicomic stupidity and delusional state of your fellow IPOB wastrels and school dropouts who imagine that the consummate racist Trump, is about to 'give them Biafra'.
