The UK Home Office has issued new guidance stating that migrants who arrive illegally, including by small boats or hidden in vehicles, will generally be refused British citizenship. The guidelines, effective from February 10, aim to strengthen existing laws against illegal entry. Critics, including Labour MP Stella Creasy and the Refugee Council, argue that this approach contradicts the principles of refuge and integration, suggesting that the government should rethink its position to allow refugees a pathway to citizenship and integration into British society.
Migrants who arrive in the UK by boats or lorries will not be permitted to attain British citizenship, according to recent Home Office guidelines.
The Refugee Council criticized the new guidelines as unreasonable, advocating for the integration of refugees into the community rather than imposing barriers.
