Tories announce policy to deport all foreign nationals with criminal convictions

Summary
The UK Conservative Party has proposed a new policy to deport all foreign nationals convicted of a crime, by amending the government's border bill. This would eliminate the current threshold, where deportation occurs only after a prison sentence of one year. The policy would apply to foreign nationals, including asylum seekers, and anyone charged with or convicted of immigration offenses.

Refugee groups have strongly criticized the proposal, calling it "unworkable" and "political grandstanding," warning that it could criminalize refugees and lead to chaos and high costs. Amnesty International also opposed the policy, urging the government to abandon "unworkable immigration laws."

Additionally, the Tories aim to amend the Immigration Act 1971 to stop issuing visas to nationals from countries that do not accept their own citizens, including criminals. Opponents argue that this could lead to prolonged detention and further complications.
