National Immigration and Asylum Act 2002

The National Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 is a UK law that manages immigration control and asylum procedures. It established measures for checking people's immigration status, introduced secure document systems, and set up procedures for those seeking asylum. The Act also created enforcement tools to prevent illegal immigration and outlined responsibilities for employers in verifying workers' rights. Its goal is to regulate who can stay and work in the UK, ensuring immigration laws are followed, while providing a fair process for individuals seeking protection.
