The United Nations refugee agency has said a government plan to make refugees wait up to 30 years before they get permission to settle in the UK “raises significant concerns”.
asserted
they → say → concerns
The strategy was unveiled earlier this week by Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, as she announced a softening of aspects of her immigration plans, but kept some of the rigorous rules drawn up by her office last year.
asserted
she → unveil → office
Mahmood introduced a carve-out for care workers to allow them to apply for indefinite leave to remain after five years, but maintained rules to make those who arrived by irregular means such as small boats having to wait up to 30 years.
asserted
who → introduce → years
UNHCR, which has international responsibility for refugees, told the Guardian that the plan to increase the time people who arrived by irregular means have to wait before being able to apply for settlement was “likely to be detrimental”.
asserted
who → have → settlement
Some refugees can reduce the upper limit of 30 years if they enter work or study but there is a 10-year penalty for those who arrive on small boats or concealed in lorries rather than arriving via safe and legal routes.
asserted
who → reduce → routes
The government has significantly reduced the latter and although they have announced some legal routes they will only be able to be accessed by a small minority of people seeking sanctuary here.
asserted
they → reduce → sanctuary
The UNHCR welcomed the legal routes but said: “An extended qualifying period for settlement for refugees raises significant concerns particularly when considered alongside the introduction of short term stay arrangements and changes made last year that would preclude many from ever accessing citizenship.
asserted
that → welcome → citizenship
Taken together, these measures are likely to be detrimental to refugees’ sense of security, belonging and stability, and to impact their ability to contribute and become part of their new communities.
asserted
measures → take → communities
“Refugees are not migrants: they have fled their countries because they cannot rely on their protection nor safely return home.
asserted

For refugees, safety means more than a grant of asylum and settlement has an important role to play.”

grant → mean → role
Kamena Dorling, director of policy at Helen Bamber Foundation, also raised concerns about the 30-year rule.
asserted
Dorling → raise → rule
She said: “We are deeply alarmed and disappointed by the government’s announcement on ‘earned settlement’.
asserted
We → say → settlement
It will cause profound and lasting harm to refugees, including survivors of torture, trafficking and other forms of extreme cruelty.
asserted
It → cause → cruelty
“The government had an opportunity to change its approach after receiving extensive evidence about the devastating consequences of this policy but instead has doubled down on its approach that will damage the lives and futures of thousands of men, women, families and children, as well as harm wider integration and social cohesion.
asserted
that → have → integration
She said that extending the qualifying period for settlement “is simply inhumane”.
asserted
extending → say → settlement
She added: “This will not deter people fleeing war, persecution, torture and violence, who are fighting for their lives and seeking safety in the UK.
asserted
who → add → UK
When legal routes are so severely limited, people will continue to take desperate measures to reach safety.
asserted
people → limit → safety
