In a recent article on Melting Pot Europa, Nando Sigona analyzes the latest UK immigration policies and raises critic for embracing a hardline stance on immigration — a position that, according to the article, betrays any progressive ambitions once associated with the Labour Party.

✒️ The article highlights several controversial measures, including:

• Extending the required time for permanent residency to 10 years;

• Restricting family reunification for lower-income migrants;

• Cutting legal immigration pathways, particularly for international students and skilled workers.

Nando Sigona argues that these policies, framed as legal and administrative necessities, actually function as instruments of racial and social exclusion, disproportionately targeting migrant and working-class communities.
