And, yes, let us take back control of our borders with a sensible, fair and impartial system. And let me take on this issue absolutely directly. Because I am pro-immigration, my friends. I am the proud descendent of Turkish immigrants. And let me stun you, perhaps, by saying I would go further. I am not only pro-immigration, I’m pro-immigrants, but I am in favour of an amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been here for more than 12 years, unable to contribute to this economy, unable to pay taxes, unable to take proper part in society. And I will tell you why: because it is the humane thing to do. It is the economically rational thing do to. And it means taking back control of a system that is at the moment completely out of control.
And if we take back control of our immigration system with an Australian-style points-based system, you will be dealing fairly and justly with every part of the world, and you will be neutralising people in this country and across Europe who wish to play politics with immigration and who are opposed to immigrants. And that is the way forward, to neutralise the extremists by taking back control of our immigration system.

He has only spoken about it, nothing is set to become part of the rules. Makes no difference where or how he said. HO have removed the 14 year ILR route for migrants that had no legal status etc, it is highly unlikely that they will reintroduce something similar along the same lines. There are already other applications that such migrants can make to legalise their stay.violet26 wrote:He did say it in front of a TV audience, it was on the news!!!

Brexit doesn't change anything for those who are here illegally. Although in the future it may give the UK freer rein on returning those without valid leave.jammy101 wrote:So now UK will leave EU will it affect illegals? would they get amnesty for example?
