Britain can deport every illegal migrant living in the UK in three years by copying Donald Trump’s “hostile environment”, a bombshell report has claimed. Former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe said the Home Office needs to create a “culture of voluntary returns”.

He called for e-visas to be the “only accepted proof of residency”, tougher Right to Work and Right to Rent checks, an NHS crackdown, an end to “safe” GP surgeries and a tax on money being sent home, to dramatically increase the number of people choosing to leave. Pointing to Donald Trump’s mass deportation programme, Restore Britain said that three times as many migrants leave voluntarily. Restore Britain’s 113-page report claimed: “Inspired in many ways by the second Trump administration, we call for a “hostile environment” to encourage self-deportations, combined with somewhere in the region of 150,000 to 200,000 forced deportations per year.

“Assuming a conservative ratio of three voluntary exits for every forced exit, together with a similarly conservative annual average of 150,000 forced deportations, it would take exactly three years to deport all of the roughly 1.8million illegals we believe to be living in our midst.

“We focus first on fostering a culture of voluntary returns.

“It is the intended consequences of a hostile environment spanning employment, housing, and healthcare that illegal migrants will decide to leave the country voluntarily, and at a far less prohibitive cost than tends to be the case with enforced returns.

“Under Trump, the United States has led the way by employing innovative tactics in this area.

“There is much that we can learn from how the voluntary component of America’s mass deportation agenda has been maximised.”

Mr Lowe said there is “nothing at all radical about mass deportations”, adding it has now become a common mainstream view.

Restore Britain claimed as many as 1.8million people are living in the UK illegally.

Outlining the proposals, the paper stated: “In healthcare, we call for an end to so-called ‘safe surgeries’ that shield illegal immigrants, requiring status proof for NHS access and upfront charges for non-emergency care.

“Data-sharing across public services should make a priority of tracking the illegal population.

“In banking, we propose biometric checks for accounts and closing any without valid status.

“A remittance tax on countries that refuse to take back their own citizens should also be levied to raise deportation funds and pressure uncooperative governments.”

Firms that hire people without a right to work in the UK should face a £200,000 fine for a first-time offence and £400,000 for each “subsequent breach”, says the report.

This is a sharp increase from the current levels of £45,000 and £60,000.

Company bosses must also “face indefinite disqualification from directorship, rather than temporary bans”.

Restore Britain said it is “effectively” calling for the abolition of the entire asylum system.

It said only those fleeing “neighbouring countries” should be able to seek refuge in the UK.

This radical proposal resembles a similar policy idea being sought out by the White House.

The US wants asylum seekers to be forced to claim asylum in the first country they arrive in.

Restore Britain also claimed that Channel migrants granted asylum after crossing in a small boat must have their protection rescinded.

The group added: “The current chaos has been caused by a combination of bureaucratic paralysis, applicant dishonesty, politically motivated leniency, and judicial activism. It has eroded the authority of Parliament and the integrity of our borders.

“All asylum and humanitarian protections granted to individuals who entered Britain illegally within the last decade should be rescinded in full, and those individuals deported within a reasonable time period.

“This measure is necessary to restore credibility to the rule of law and to re-establish deterrence against illegal entry.

“The asylum system must operate on the principle that those who arrive illegally have no entitlement to remain.

“The continuing small-boat crossings across the Channel are a direct result of perceived opportunity and delayed enforcement. Our plan would remove that incentive comprehensively and entirely, to the point that we anticipate the number of annual crossings would move close to zero.”

Detention facilities would be constructed on military sites to house migrants before they are deported, the plan indicated.

Mr Lowe added: “This is the most comprehensive deportation policy ever written in Britain.

“It shows, for the first time, that removing every illegal migrant is not only possible, but essential. The British people have been lied to for years – told it couldn’t be done. It can. All that’s missing is the political will.”

More than 35,000 migrants have crossed the Channel so far this year, including 1,075 in 15 boats.

Research by the think tank Migration Watch revealed 90% of the 45,755 small boat arrivals claimed asylum in 2022. This increased to 95% of the 29,437 in 2023 and 95% of the 36,816 small boat arrivals claimed asylum last year.
