The Nationality and Borders Act 2022 has three main objectives:
- To increase the fairness of the system to better protect and support those in need of asylum;
- To deter illegal entry into the United Kingdom, thereby breaking the business model of people smuggling networks and protecting the lives of those they endanger; and
- To remove more easily those with no right to be in the United Kingdom.
