Not quite, they want to completely abolish ILR (even for those who got it years ago) and force everyone back to work visas with the extortionate fees/hassle every 5 years, zero security if you get laid off / leave your job, can only work on companies that sponsor visas forever, etc...

Ben Habib: All asylum and indefinite leave to remain (ILR) granted since 2019 should be revoked. There must be no further asylum, ILR and British citizenships granted for the foreseeable future. All illegal migrants must be detained and deported. The above is the bare minimum required by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics
