Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called on the Conservative Party to pay close attention to its commitment to bringing down immigration. Braverman, on Monday, issued a stark warning against "unsustainable" mass and rapid immigration and called for action to cut down on growing migrant numbers.
Braverman also said that she backed the Brexit decision so that the country could have better control over its immigration policy. According to her, rapid migration is unsustainable in terms of housing supply, public services and community relations, where the future perspective of the country is concerned. The leader has also proposed cutting down on the two-year period any visa holder is given to find a job and settle in the country, to six months. While Braverman, in her  National Conservatism conference speech, talked about a number of issues like trans rights, grooming gangs and ethnicity, her comments about immigration did not go well with the majority.

Afghan refugee families in Yorkshire, on the other hand, have been issued with an eviction letter in the name of Suella Braverman. These families have already been uprooted from London earlier this year to be placed in Yorkshire. For some of the families, this will be the fourth time they have to be uprooted since being airlifted out of Kabul to the UK in 2021. A special forces soldier and a political adviser also received notice to quit with the eviction notices going out.

"There is no good reason why we can't train up enough HGV drivers, butchers or fruit pickers," according to an excerpt of the speech released by the BBC. "It's not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration is unsustainable in terms of housing supply, service and community relations," she was expected to say in her speech.

Braverman belongs to the Goan and Tamil heritage and says that while she comes from a family of immigrants, her parents came to the UK through legal and controlled migration. "While illegal migration is rightly our priority given the acute challenges we face in the [English] Channel, we must not lose sight of the importance of controlling legal migration too," she was quoted as saying by NDTV.
"It's not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration is unsustainable in terms of housing supply, public services and community relations," Braverman said.
