拟议的联合王国移民政策改变可能推迟300 000名儿童的定居地位,将合格期限延长至10年或15年,追溯适用新的规则,影响按先前预期抵达的家庭。 A proposed UK immigration policy change could delay settled status for up to 300,000 children by extending the qualifying period to 10 or 15 years, retroactively applying new rules that affect families who arrived under previous expectations. 该计划由内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈穆德提出,将要求大多数移民等待10年,低技能工人最多15年,享受福利的人可能20年。 The plan, introduced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, would require most migrants to wait 10 years, with lower-skilled workers facing up to 15 years, and those on benefits potentially 20 years. 批评者,包括计生联、劳工议员和倡导团体,警告这一转变会破坏信任,损害儿童福利,增加贫穷风险,破坏教育和家庭稳定,认为追溯性变革不公平,损害融合。 Critics, including the IPPR, Labour MPs, and advocacy groups, warn the shift undermines trust, harms child welfare, increases poverty risk, and disrupts education and family stability, calling the retroactive change unfair and damaging to integration.
