What the petition asks
Regularise undocumented migrants, who have been in the UK for 5 years or more and reduce the number of years a person has to be resident in the UK to be entitled to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under long residence rules from 20 to 14 years.
Granting an amnesty and making it easier to gain leave to remain should help end the suffering of many undocumented migrants currently living in the UK. This would mean many would be free of the hostile environment and able to rent housing, access healthcare and public funds.
Granting an amnesty to undocumented migrants in the UK should help end suffering for many undocumented migrants, many of whom are undocumented through no fault of their own.
