What the petition asks
We want Parliament to keep the 5-year ILR pathway to show their support for legal immigrants, many who migrated to the UK based on the 5-year ILR pathway, and to restrict the extension of citizenship and benefit access for another 5 years to guarantee this proposal.
We believe this petition will ensure:
1) National security.
2) Economic stability.
3) Integration and cohesion.
4) Fairness and justice.
5) Control over immigration.
6) Genuine settlement.
7) Alignment with policy goals.
8) No system abuse.
With all these reasons, we believe it would be fair for the Government to stand by their words for the sake of justice and to give hope to legal immigrants to show how valued they are and how the system recognise their contributions.
