Illegal Migration Act

Research & policy Illegal Immigration Bill

*These briefings on this page are from when the Act was going through Parliament. We continue to resist the Act and evidence its harmful impact.

If enacted, the Illegal Migration Bill will abolish the ability to claim asylum in the UK for the vast majority of people, excluding people from support and creating a sub-class of people who will be subject to the impunity of the Home Secretary.

The Bill will completely reshape immigration law and have sweeping repercussions for generations to come.
