Nationality and Borders Act (UK)

The Nationality and Borders Act (UK), enacted in 2022, updates the country's immigration and asylum laws. It aims to strengthen border security, streamline how asylum claims are processed, and deter illegal crossings, especially via small boats. The Act introduces measures such as faster deportations of those not eligible for asylum, limits on asylum claims from individuals who arrive irregularly, and new powers to prevent abuse of the system. Its goal is to balance the UK's duty to protect refugees with the need to control borders and manage migration responsibly.
