UK Governments New Migration Policy: A Tough Choice for Families The UK governments proposed changes to migration policies could force families to choose between daily survival and long-term security. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood plans to double the ten-year wait for settled status to twenty years if people use public funds, affecting over two hundred thousand people, mostly from Asian and Black backgrounds. This could lead to a two-tier system punishing low-income families, with parents potentially working eighty-hour weeks just to survive. A survey found that ninety percent of parents on benefits would give them up despite risks of debt, homelessness, and unaffordable childcare or bills. The proposals highlight the real strain on migrant families choosing between daily survival and long-term security in the UK. NordVPN — Online privacy & security thednn.ai/nord
