英国在重大改革中结束庇护申请者自动福利待遇

英国内政部长周日为大幅减少难民保护和终止庇护申请者自动福利的计划辩护，坚持认为 irregular 迁移正在“撕裂我们的国家”。

这些措施仿照丹麦严格的庇护系统，旨在阻止成千上万的移民乘坐小船从法国北部抵达英格兰——这些船只的航行助长了反移民的改革英国党的支持。

但难民委员会慈善机构批评这些提议是“严厉且不必要的”，并且这些提议可能会受到Keir Starmer总理所领导的处于困境中的工党政府中左翼议员的反对。

“我确实拒绝这种观点，即处理这一问题 somehow 陷入了右翼的论调，”内政部长 Shabana Mahmood 对英国广播公司电视台说。

“这是我的道德使命，因为我可以看到非法移民正在撕裂我们的国家，它正在分裂社区。”
目前，获得难民身份的人有五年的时间，之后他们可以申请无限期居留并最终获得公民身份。
但内政部，即马哈茂德的部门，表示将把难民身份的期限缩短至30个月。

Britain’s interior minister on Sunday defended plans to drastically reduce protections for refugees and end automatic benefits for asylum seekers, insisting that irregular migration was “tearing our country apart”.

The measures, modelled on Denmark’s strict asylum system, aim to stop thousands of migrants from arriving in England from northern France on small boats — crossings that are fuelling support for the anti-immigrant Reform UK party.

But the proposals were criticised as “harsh and unnecessary” by the Refugee Council charity and are likely to be opposed by left-wing lawmakers within Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s embattled Labour government.

“I really reject this idea that dealing with this problem is somehow engaging in far-right talking points,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told BBC television.

“This is a moral mission for me, because I can see illegal migration is tearing our country apart, it is dividing communities.”
Presently, those given refugee status have it for five years, after which they can apply for indefinite leave to remain and eventually citizenship.
But Mahmood’s ministry, known as the Home Office, said it would cut the length of refugee status to 30 months.
