Nationality and Borders Act

The Nationality and Borders Act 2022 is a UK law designed to manage immigration and asylum processes. It aims to deter people from entering the UK illegally, encourages the return of individuals who cannot stay, and introduces measures for quicker processing of asylum claims. The Act also gives authorities more power to reject asylum applications based on methods of arrival and increases penalties for people who assist illegal entries. Overall, it seeks to strengthen border control and clarify the rights of refugees while addressing ongoing immigration challenges.
