This plan is fair: increasing the efficacy of our system so we can better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum.
But it is also firm: toughening our stance against illegal entry and the criminals who endanger life by enabling it, whilst making it easier to remove those from the UK who have no right to be here.
And this plan builds on the work we have already done to take back control of our borders.
We have ended free movement. We have introduced a new points-based immigration system. And now we will overhaul the broken asylum system with our New Plan for Immigration.
That is what the British people expect us to do and that is what we will deliver.
