Kemi Badenoch, the British Conservative Party leader, has introduced a deportation bill aimed at overhauling the UK’s immigration system.

Badenoch: "Our country is a home, not a hotel"

In a criticism to the Labour Party, Badenoch called for cross-party support for the proposed legislation, which she said will tackle abuses, lower immigration numbers, and strengthen national security.

The new deportation bill proposes several stringent measures, including the deportation of all foreign criminals, mandatory age checks for asylum seekers, strict visa rules, the disapplication of the Human Rights Act in immigration cases, and the introduction of repayable asylum support.

Notably, the bill also seeks to deny immigrants automatic British citizenship and permanent residency if they have relied on the country's benefits.

Badenoch urged the ruling party in the UK, the Labour Party (LP), to back the deportation bill.

The bill has already stirred political debate, with Labour dismissing the proposals as overly aggressive, while Conservative supporters applaud the tough stance as long overdue in the face of mounting immigration concerns.

In a video shared on TikTok, Kemi Badenoch said:

"Labour has blocked every single measure we’ve put forward to cut immigration and stop abuse of the system.

"Now they’re pushing one half-arsed proposal — it’s weak, it won’t work. It’s time they stopped playing games and backed our Deportation bill."

Features of Badenoch’s bold deportation bill

What Conservative's deportation bill will offer, Badenoch listed them below;

1. Deport all foreign criminals.

2. Mandatory age checks: "No more pretending to be kids," she said.

3. Tougher visa rules and salary thresholds

4. Disapply the Human Rights Act to immigration cases

5. Make asylum support repayable

"And no permanent right to stay in the UK. If you have relied on benefits,until that's law.

"We wont fix this, Labour should adopt it now. It's time to get tough. That's what the Conservative deportation bill delivers and we are going to go further. Our country is a home, not a hotel," Badenoch concluded.
