Breaking News: UK to Overhaul Immigration System, Seeks Denmark's Expert Guidance
UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce a major shake-up of the immigration and asylum system later this month. According to sources, Mahmood will model some of her new measures on the Danish system, considered one of the toughest in Europe.
The UK government is expected to introduce tighter rules on family reunion and restrict most refugees to a temporary stay in the country. This move aims to reduce incentives that draw people to the UK and make it easier to expel those with no right to be in the country.
The Danish system has been successful in driving down the number of successful asylum claims to a 40-year low. UK officials have been studying Denmark's approach, which includes stricter rules on family reunion and temporary stays.
Some Labour party members are opposed to adopting the Danish model, calling it too "hardcore" and echoing far-right policies. However, Mahmood remains committed to implementing the changes, which she believes are necessary to regain control of Britain's borders.
This is a developing story, and further details are expected to be announced later this month. The UK government's overhaul of the immigration system is likely to have significant implications for asylum seekers and migrants in the country.
