THE INSTITUTE for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has called for key parts of the Immigration Acts of 2014 and 2016 to be “reformed or replaced.”
The organisation believes this is necessary in order to “transform” the government’s approach to immigration enforcement.
They say that through the hostile environment policy, the government has effectively outsourced immigration enforcement to landlords, employers and other workers on the frontline.
