United Kingdom Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has unveiled a comprehensive border control policy to deport 150,000 illegal migrants annually, totalling 750,000 over five years.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a video posted on her official X handle on Sunday, Badenoch described the new immigration policy as the toughest reforms Britain has ever seen to border laws and operations.
She criticised previous administrations for handling immigration, saying, “Successive governments have failed on immigration. Labour promised to smash the gangs. Instead, just a year, they deliver record small boat crossings, over 50,000 illegal arrivals, 32,000 people in asylum hotels, billions wasted. It’s pure weakness.”
Reaffirming her stance, Badenoch said the Conservative Party is ready to implement a serious, credible plan and the backbone to deliver it.
She said, “If you come here illegally, you will be deported. We will shut down the asylum hotel racket, save billions and take back control of Britain’s borders.”
The proposal was presented during the Conservative Party’s annual conference in Manchester, where several new immigration measures were introduced.
The policy will target undocumented migrants already in the UK, new illegal entrants, and foreign nationals convicted of offences beyond minor traffic violations.
As part of the reform, the Conservatives intend to withdraw the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), effectively ending a 75-year membership to block asylum appeals.
The Home Office’s immigration enforcement unit will also be rebranded as the “Removals Force,” with its funding doubled through savings generated by ending asylum hotel operations.
According to the party, deportations would be directed to migrants’ countries of origin or to designated safe third countries willing to receive them.
The Conservatives further pledged to negotiate return agreements with partner nations, warning that countries unwilling to cooperate may face aid and visa restrictions.
Additionally, the plan seeks to tighten asylum eligibility to individuals persecuted directly by their governments, excluding those escaping war or restrictive laws related to religion or sexuality.
The party also plans to dissolve the immigration tribunal, transferring appeal responsibilities to Home Office officials, and eliminate taxpayer-funded legal aid in immigration cases, arguing that claims will be fairly assessed against clear criteria.
