Nigel Farage today vowed to block foreign nationals from getting benefits and force hundreds of thousands of migrants with 'settled status' out of the UK.
The Reform leader condemned legal permanent settlement for foreign nationals as a 'scam', warning it is a 'timebomb' that could bankrupt the country.
Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) allows those who have lived here for more than five years to receive benefits and apply for citizenship.
Reform estimates 3.8million migrants who arrived after the pandemic will be eligible for ILR between 2026 and 2030.
Mr Farage suggested ending the status will save £234billion that would be paid out in benefits for them and their dependants in the coming decades.
