The UK government is set to unveil significant reforms to its asylum policies, marking the largest overhaul in modern times. Under the proposed changes, refugees may face a lengthy 20-year wait before being eligible for permanent settlement, while the automatic right to accommodation and support for asylum seekers will be drastically reduced. With an emphasis on curbing illegal migration, officials are looking to Denmark’s stringent immigration model as a guide. Critics are concerned that these reforms may lead to increased hardship for those seeking refuge, while government officials warn that illegal migration is tearing the country apart. The measures include limiting refugee status to temporary stays and revoking benefits for asylum seekers who refuse work or break the law.
