程度副詞

Here the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood has unveiled a shake up to rules for legal migration just days after announcing reforms to the asylum system.

內政大臣 Shabana Mahmood 揭曉了合法移民規則的改革，就在她宣佈庇護系統改革的幾天後。

Under the new plans, migrants could only be eligible for benefits and social housing once they become British citizens.

在新計畫下，移民必須成為英國公民後，才有資格領取福利和社會住房。

情態副詞

Those in the country illegally could have to wait up to 30 years to become long term residents.

非法居留者可能要等上 30 年才能成為長期居民。

Shabana Mahmood has been speaking in the House of Commons in the past hour about the new rules and she accused the last government of of losing control of immigration.

Shabana Mahmood 在過去一小時內於下議院就新規則發言，她指責上一屆政府失去了對移民的管控。

This consultation addresses the question of the so called Boris wave, specifically the cohort of lower qualified workers who entered the country along with their dependents through the health and care visa, some of whom are never expected to be net economic contributors.

這項諮詢處理了所謂的 Boris wave 問題，特別是透過醫療與照護簽證進入、並攜帶受撫養人的低技能工人這群體，其中一些人預計永遠無法成為淨經濟貢獻者。

It is right that we apply more stringent controls for this group and for that reason we propose they should wait 15 years before they can earn settlement.

我們對這群體實施更嚴格的管控是正確的，是以我們提議他們應等待 15 年才能獲得永久居留權。

Crucially, for these and every other group mentioned here, we propose these changes apply to everyone in the country today who has not yet received indefinite leave to remain.

關鍵是，對於這群體以及這裡提到的所有其他群體，我們提議這些變更將適用於今天尚未獲得無限期居留權的每一個人。

Though we are seeking views on whether there should be some transitional arrangements available.

儘管我們正在尋求對是否應提供一些過渡性安排的意見。

May I make one thing absolutely clear, though?

但我可以讓一件事非常清楚嗎？

We will not change the rules for those with settled status today.

我們不會改變今天已獲得定居身份者的規則。

These are people who have been in our country for years, even decades.

這些人已經在我們國家待了好幾年，甚至幾十年了。

They have families here, wives, husbands, children.

他們在這裡有家人，有妻子、丈夫、孩子。

They've worked in our hospitals, taught in our schools and have been contributing to our society for years.

他們在我們的醫院工作過，在我們的學校教書過，多年來一直為我們的社會做出貢獻。

Fairness is the most fundamental of British values.

公平是英國價值觀中最基本的一項。

Let's speak to our political correspondent Harry Farley now for more on this story.

現在我們來聽聽政治記者 Harry Farley 的更多報導。

Harry, what are the big headlines from this latest announcement from the Home Secretary for you?

Harry，對你來說，內政大臣這次最新宣佈的最大重點是什麼？

Yeah, a really significant set of proposals from the Home Office and the Home Secretary, as you say, just finishing up in the House of Commons in the last couple of minutes or so.

是的，正如你所說，內政部和內政大臣提出了一系列非常重大的提案，他們剛在下議院結束了幾分鐘的報告。

所以有幾個重點引起了我的注意。

Firstly, at the moment, if you come to the uk, you have a five year wait for what's called settled status or indefinite leave to remain where you can have permanent settled status.

首先，目前如果你來到英國，需要等待五年才能獲得所謂的定居身份或無限期居留權，也就是你可以獲得永久定居身份。

Here the Home Secretary is proposing that is increased from 5 years to 10 years for most people.

在這裡，內政大臣提議將這個等待時間從五年延長到十年，適用於大多數人。

But for a big wave of people who came after Brexit on what's called health and social care visas, generally people who were low paid came to work in the health and social care settings, they will have to wait 15 years.

不過，對於那些在英國脫歐後，透過所謂的醫療與照護簽證來到英國的這群人，通常是低技能工人，來從事醫療和照護工作的，他們需要等待 15 年。

So if you're someone on that visa who arrived in 2022, for example, expecting to get permanent settled status in 2027, you will now have to wait until 2030, 37.

所以，如果你是持有這種簽證、在 2022 年來到英國的人，原本預期在 2027 年獲得永久定居身份，現在必須等到 2037 年。

And as Shabana Mahmoud laid out in that clip, you just heard this will apply to everyone who is in the UK already.

正如 Shabana Mahmoud 在你剛才聽到的片段中所說的，這將適用於所有已經在英國的人。

It is not just for those arriving from now onwards, it will apply to all those who have not yet got settled status.

這不只適用於從現在起抵達的人，也適用於所有尚未獲得定居身份的人。

So everyone who's arrived in the last five years.

所以，過去五年內抵達的每個人。

You can reduce your 10 year wait if, for example, you pay one of the higher rates of tax or if you contribute to society in other ways, for example, through volunteering.

你可以縮短 10 年的等待時間，例如，如果你繳納較高稅率的稅款，或者以其他方式為社會做出貢獻，例如透過志工服務。

But you can also increase your weight if, for example, you are on benefits at any time during your time in the UK.

但你也可以延長等待時間，例如，如果你在英國的任何時候領取福利金。

For example, if you're on benefits for less than 12 months, you will have an extra 5 years to wait.

舉例來說，如果你領取福利金的時間不到 12 個月，你將需要額外等待 5 年。

If you're on benefits for more than 12 months, you will have an extra 10 years.

如果你領取福利金超過 12 個月，你將需要額外等待 10 年。

So some migrants who have arrived in the UK who are on benefits could wait up to 20 years before they have the option of applying for settled status.

所以有些已經來到英國、領取福利金的移民，可能要等上 20 年才能選擇申請定居身份。

And even then the Home Secretary has set out stricter criteria in order to get that settled status.

即使如此，內政大臣也設定了更嚴格的標準來獲得這個定居身份。

So, for example, you must be paying tax, you must have a clean criminal record and so on.

所以，舉例來說，你必須繳稅，必須沒有犯罪紀錄等等。

So a whole host of stricter criteria announced by the Home Secretary, both delaying the time, extending the wait, as it were, for people in order to apply for permanent settled status and then toughing the criteria in order to get it, along with the reforms to the asylum system announced earlier this week.

所以內政大臣宣佈了一系列更嚴格的標準，一方面延長了人們申請永久定居身份的等待時間，另一方面也提高了獲得定居身份的門檻，這與本週稍早宣佈的庇護系統改革有關。

Harry, what difference does the government think that these changes will make to immigration to the number of people wanting to actually come to, to the uk?

Harry，你認為這些改變會對移民、對想來英國的人數產生什麼影響？

So this is primarily targeted at people who are in the UK illegally, and

所以這主要是針對那些非法滯留英國的人，

then the changes earlier in the week to the asylum system and particularly those who have arrived in the UK illegally.

然後是本週稍早對庇護系統的變動，特別是那些非法入境英國的人。

I suppose politically the significance of this is, is that Labour are conscious of those voters who perhaps voted for them in 2024, the last election, who are now looking at, particularly reform uk, who are concerned about immigration, are looking at, at the alternatives proposed by Nigel Farage and, and

我想從政治上來說，這很重要，因為工黨意識到那些可能在 2024 年上次大選中投票給他們的選民，現在正關注改革英國黨，他們擔心移民問題，並且正在關注 Nigel Farage 提出的替代方案，還有

Shabbat Mood, Keir Starmer at the Labour Party, trying to show that they can do something about reducing the overall net migration.

Shabbat Mood，工黨的 Keir Starmer，試圖展現他們能採取行動來減少整體淨移民人數。

So the overall input of influx of people coming into the country, but

所以是整體進入國家的人數，但

also trying to be seen to have control over the immigration system.

同時也試圖展現對移民系統的掌控力。

And I suppose that's the politically toxic allegation that and the politically toxic imagery that comes from particularly those small boats arriving across the channel is a lack of control.

我想這就是政治上令人不快的指控，以及特別是那些乘小船抵達英吉利海峽的船隻所帶來的政治上令人不快的形象，就是缺乏控制。

And that's what so many voters feel uncomfortable about.

這也是許多選民感到不安的地方。

And that is what Shibana Mahmoud is trying to address, as you say, with the announcements early this week on asylum and now with these changes today to achieving permanent settled status for those already here in the uk.

正如你所說，Shibana Mahmoud 正試圖解決這個問題，她本週稍早宣佈了關於庇護的變動，現在又推出了今天的這些變動，以實現英國境內現有居民的永久居留權。

Harry, thank you very much for taking us through the detail of that.

Harry，非常感謝你為我們詳細介紹。

Harry Farley, our political correspondent.
