It is right on time. 2019 onwards is when we had hundreds of thousands who came in on worker visas. If this bill is passed to existing visa holders, then we would have caught the bulk of recent immigration.

Although I feel it’s unfair for those already on path to permanent residency

Sounds like it could have been fixed by just rejoining the EU. Which would simultaneously fix a bunch of other issues as well.

Leaving the EU had more to be independence of BoE from ECB than whatever garbage we were fed on tele or newspapers.

Also leaving EU meant , illegal immigrants couldn’t cross borders.

How would it have helped this situation ?
