A British Immigration Policy Platform As If The British People Mattered

This piece is an accompaniment to my recently released British Remigration Policy Platform (BRPP).

While remigration is the policy prescription most essential to reverse the demographic, cultural, and financial decline of these island nations it will also be necessary to replace our failed immigration policies so that the multicultural experiment we have been forced to endure is never allowed to recur. Conscious of this I have put together a program of immigration related reforms in order to maintain the demographic and cultural character of Britain as a nation-state for the English, Scottish, Welsh, and people of Northern Ireland.

The British Immigration Policy Platform (BIPP) has five central pillars:

1. The immigration of non-Western people

2. The immigration of Western people

3. The integration and naturalisation of immigrants

4. A right of return for ethnic Britons outside of the Anglosphere.

5. Enticing Britons abroad to return home.

Central to these reforms will be secondary reforms such as the removal of judicial review of the immigration process. Immigrants that the British people do not want to in our country should not be able to appeal to unelected and often ideological men and women in robes in order to get their way, more on this later in the piece.

Much like the BRPP I propose that these reforms be enacted over the course of 12-years, or roughly three parliamentary terms. This gives the British bureaucracy, people, institutions, and the market time to adjust their expectations and habits while leaving room for further reform if certain aspects of the program prove difficult to implement and require adjustment.

It is my sincere hope that the rising tide of national-conservative and nationalist policymakers will not only adopt these policy suggestions but build upon them in their mission to restore the British family of nations. The British Immigration Policy Platform (BIPP) is an absolute necessity if we are to preserve a British Britain.

The Immigration of Non-Western People:

More than any other group it is those people from outside of the Western world that are the most challenging to integrate into British life and communities. These disparate peoples almost always have different ethnic, religious, and cultural habits than the native British - to such a degree that integration has proven impossible. These differences are also increasing in scope and severity rather than decreasing with time. A 2022 paper by Laraib Niaz and Sidla Nasir concludes that Pakistanis in the United Kingdom, regardless of place of birth, are increasingly adopting Islamic rituals and cultural practices to further distinguish themselves from their host society. They live in segregated communities, perceive their interests as oppositional to the native British, and have political goals that revolve around acquiring resources for their ethnic group at the expense of others, especially native Brits.

It is time to abandon the unworkable model of mass non-Western immigration.

My suggested non-Western immigration policy rests on the following:

• A cap of 50,000 non-Western immigrants each year

• Adjustment to prevent recurrent net migration

• Local community approval for all immigrants and adjustment in status.

• A 5% cap on the share of foreign students in the UK

As I suggested in the BRPP the level of non-Western immigration into Britain will be capped at 50,000 each year with a visa duration lasting no more than five years. If net migration of non-Westerners rises above 2,500 individuals for two consecutive years, the Home Office will be required through primary legislation to limit the number of visas it issues to 10,000 per annum until such a time that net migration has returned to or fallen below zero for two consecutive years.

This annual net migration cap of 2,500 substantially limits the number of people each year who can extend their visas or gain indefinite leave to remain. This represents a 98% decrease in the number of settlement grants issued in 2023 (147,053). In essence, for every 5,000 people granted a visa extension or settlement some 80,000 temporary visa holders will leave the United Kingdom.

This system will limit the number of non-Western people able to permanently settle in the United Kingdom to just 15,000 individuals per decade.

Beyond the numbers any non-Western immigrant who seeks admission into the United Kingdom—including refugees, foreign workers, and people seeking family reunification—will require approval from the local community where they seek to live and or work. The people of every British town, village, neighborhood, or city will be able to approve or deny the admission of a foreigner. Foreigners who are denied entry to the country by a local community will not be allowed to reapply for a visa for a full year and may not apply to a different local community for five years.

This process of local community review will also extend to any immigrant who seeks settled status, leave to remain, and naturalisation. No British community will be forced to live side by side with an immigrant who they do not feel is worthy of being a part of their community.

Resident immigrants and naturalised citizens will not be allowed to participate in the local community approval process. This is to prevent any possibility of a local community being used to engineer a program of chain migration through the new system.

The Home Office will still be required to do background checks, national security screenings, and other necessary processes for the admittance of immigrants. The Home Office will also ensure that no potential immigrant is likely to become a drain on the British welfare state. The Home Office will retain the ability to immediately deny a visa to any immigrant who proves to have a criminal history, likelihood of going on the doll, or may prove a national security threat to the United Kingdom. All information gathered by the Home Office will be shared with local communities considering the admittance of individuals to the United Kingdom. The British people will no longer be kept in the dark about the backgrounds of the people being admitted to our homelands.

Still, this process of local community review will also extend to any immigrant who seeks

And lest anyone object to the viability of this proposal, a similar system already exists in Switzerland. To name but one famous example, a Dutch vegan activist who had lived in Switzerland since the age of 8 was twice denied Swiss citizenship in 2017 by the people of Gipf-Oberfrick because of her complaints against native Swiss cultural practices. The British also deserve the right to preserve our culture and way of life in the face of immigrants who would see it deconstructed, ridiculed, or maligned.

There is also the issue of education. Currently hundreds of thousands of foreign students come to study in the United Kingdom each year. A parliamentary report from 2022/2023 states that 26% of all students in the United Kingdom, or about 758,000 people, are of foreign origin with 663,000 of these students coming from non-EU countries. A substantial number of these non-Western students utilize a network of fraudulent institutions and services in order to come to the country and proceed to not once attend a class or study in this country. Instead, many ‘students’ go on to work at immigrant owned businesses and subsequently disappear into the country to live illegal or on further fraudulently obtained visas for years.

Enforcement will certainly be necessary to reduce the number of these visa scams, but British universities also need to be weened off their supply of fees paying foreign students. Currently British students are denied entry to programs to study medicine while foreign students are prioritized—some universities even have foreigner only courses to train doctors and nurses.

For these reasons and others, the number of foreign students in the United Kingdom must be capped at 5% of the share of British students in the university system. If this were the case today only 106,000 foreign students would be studying in the United Kingdom or 652,000 fewer foreign students than are currently present in the country.

The Immigration of Western Peoples:

Most Westerners will be subject to the same standards of Home Office and local community scrutiny that are proposed for non-Western people, but there are those Western nations that are so culturally, historically, and indeed ethnically connected to the British Isles that special provisions are in order.

Specifically, the BIPP proposes that European descended people from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and New Zealand be allowed freedom of movement to and from the United Kingdom, including the ability to work and settle without need for the usual approval process. Reciprocity would also be part of this arrangement, with Britons able to work and settle in these countries. The nations in this proposed Anglosphere freedom of movement area would retain the ability to institution temporary border controls and limitations upon the freedom of movement during times of economic or social turmoil.

It is here worth adding that culturally cohesive freedom of movement areas are neither new nor radical. In 1952-1954 the Nordic states of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland created the Nordic Passport Union which remains in force to this day. Residents of these countries, who speak related languages, share a Lutheran faith, and a common regional history, are able to live and work in any signatory state without the need for a passport or identity card. A similar arrangement came into being in 1958 when Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, three historically linked monarchies, signed a treaty establishing the Benelux Economic Union, today known as the Benelux Union. Under this treaty citizens of any of the three states are free to live and work in any of the member states.

Returning to the topic of turmoil, it will also be necessary that special provisions be made for Westerners living outside of the West or in danger of persecution, such as White South Africans. The United Kingdom should follow the example being set by the United States and establish a refugee admittance policy that gives priority to Western ethnic groups living outside the West and in need of protection.

Once people have come to Britain it will be necessary to set a simple and stringent set of criteria for those individuals who stay for a sufficient period of time to apply to become British citizens.

The Integration and Naturalisation of Immigrants:

Currently most immigrants in the United Kingdom can become British citizens after just 6 years living in the United Kingdom (5 years on a standard visa and one year of indefinite leave to remain status). These immigrants must also take the incredibly easy and almost open book Life in the UK test, and have knowledge of English, Welsh, or Scottish Gaelic. The process is quite simple and each year hundreds of thousands of people become British citizens without any true sense of loyalty or appreciation for this country let alone a respect for the native British.

It is necessary that the requirements for naturalisation be tightened substantially. The BIPP proposes that an immigrant seeking naturalisation must:

• Have been resident in the United Kingdom for 10 years with indefinite leave to remain status. Non-ILR status will not count toward this 10-year period.

• Display fluency in English.

• Pass a series of local, county, and national interviews so that local communities and the Home Office may properly assess any candidate.

• Pass local community scrutiny as proposed above

• Take an essay-based evaluation displaying an intimate knowledge of British history, culture, and way of life.

People who do not pass the interview, testing, or local community scrutiny qualifications will not be able to reapply for British citizenship for a period of two years and will be subject to an immigration review if they fail more than one of the above-mentioned criteria.

These criteria will also not be universal. Spouses of British citizens would only be required to resident in the United Kingdom for three years prior to applying for naturalisation, will not be required to take the essay-based evaluation, and will not require local community approval. Adopted children of British citizens will be automatically naturalised upon relocating to the United Kingdom.

A Right of Return for Britons Outside of the Anglosphere:

The next major proposal of the BIPP is the creation of an Israeli style right of return for ethnically British (English, Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish) people currently residing outside of the Anglosphere.

Under this right of return proposal any person outside of the Anglosphere (defined as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United States) whose ancestry is majority British would be eligible for British citizenship through declaration and would enjoy the right to resettle in the United Kingdom.

This may sound odd to modern Britons at first, since most of us associate the diaspora with the people who settled Australia or the United States (among other countries), but in truth millions of ethnic Britons reside outside of the Anglosphere. A community of roughly 1.6 million ethnic Britons reside in South Africa, nearly 300,000 ethnic Brits have made a home in Argentina, more than 100,000 are spread across the Caribbean, and another 300,000-plus Britons can be found living in the Anglo-Indian communities spread across modern day India.

Hundreds of thousands of British-born Brits have become EU citizens since the 2016 Brexit referendum and the hundreds of thousands of partly-British children born on the European continent have as much a right to live in their ethnic homeland as their parents or any other native Briton.

Enticing Britons Abroad to Return Home:

Finally, there are the millions of UK-born Brits who have relocated abroad for work, family, and increasingly often for cheaper living costs.

After the British Remigration Policy Platform has taken affect and the millions of non-Britons have begun departing the country the United Kingdom will require an injection of young and working age people to sustain the country while other reforms work to strengthen the British family and raise the marriage and fertility rates.

The best source of this youthful and engaged population is the large British-born expat community currently living beyond these island shores.

According to Migration Watch UK there are more than 1.22 million Britons in the European Union, another 1.6 million Britons call Australia home, and a further 1.35 million Britons call the United States and Canada home at this time. In total the government of the United Kingdom estimates that 4.275 million UK-born Britons currently reside abroad.

The vast majority, approximately 66% or 2.82 million, of these British expats are of working age while another 8% or 342,000 Britons abroad are under the age of 15. It is this population of working and especially younger Britons that the BIPP seeks to bring home and there is great potential. A survey conducted by the expat organization InterNations explored the opinions of Britons living in 55 countries and found that 31% are likely to return to the United Kingdom, representing about 1.325 million Britons.

A further 18% of Britons in the survey were unsure whether they would return home but remained open to the idea. A final 51% of survey respondents said they were unlikely to return to the United Kingdom. The survey suggests that 2.1 million Britons could be enticed to return home and build a life in the United Kingdom.

The best way to entice these Britons home is the process of remigration itself. As people leave the United Kingdom and the population drops by nearly 10 million the price of housing, the cost of utility services, overcrowding, traffic, criminality, and dozens of other quality of life indicators will improve substantially. For this reason the best step any British government could take to bring expats home would be to use our global network of embassies to inform Britons living abroad about the positive changes taking place in Britain.

The government could also take practical steps such as those taken by El Salvador in trying to entice the diaspora home. Import tariffs and shipping related costs should be waved for Britons seeking to move their belongings home, a single year exemption from taxation could be offered to those who find work in the United Kingdom, and the British government could wave any bank fees for the transfer of money and assets from abroad. Those who seek to establishing a business at home could have the fees for registration waved and if the business is in the productive sector (manufacturing, resource extraction, technological development) deals to wave taxation or land acquisition taxes could be offered on an individual basis by local authorities.

Above one thing is clear, the United Kingdom needs a substantial shift in its immigration related priorities if it is to avoid a repeat of the multicultural experiment so many Britons now seek to end.
