Kemi Badenoch, leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, will ban migrants who claim benefits from becoming UK citizens.
Under Mrs Badenoch’s first major policy announcement as Tory leader, applicants will face stringent new conditions before the right to settle is granted, including demonstrating that they have never claimed benefits or used social housing, according to Mail Online.
They must also show that their income is high enough to ensure they and their families will be ‘net contributors’ to the economy rather than a burden.
Those with criminal convictions will automatically be barred from applying.
Those arriving on work visas who end up dropping out of work would have their visas cancelled and face deportation.
