The US Mission in Nigeria yesterday vowed to bar corrupt, high-profile individuals from entering the United States. Yesterday, Reform UK said it would abolish the right of migrants to qualify for permanent settlement in the UK after five years, if it wins the next election
The US Mission posted on X, warning that its resolve to fight corruption would not spare anyone, stating that high-profile individuals who engage in corrupt practices would be barred from entering the US.
The Mission said: “Fighting corruption knows no borders or limits on accountability. Even when high-profile individuals engage in corruption, they can be barred from receiving U.S. visas.”
Meanwhile, Reform UK has announced it would abolish the right of migrants to qualify for permanent settlement in the UK after five years, if the party wins the next election.
Under the plans, migrants would need to reapply for new visas with tougher rules, and Reform would abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain, ILR, which gives people rights and access to benefits.
Reform has also said it planned to bar anyone other than British citizens from accessing welfare. The party claims their plans would save £234billion over several decades.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the suggested savings “have no basis in reality” and the government were already looking at restricting migrants’ welfare access.
Reform UK Leader, Nigel Farage, said the UK should not be “the world’s food bank”.
