Subscribe on YouTube:    / @newstatesman   Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood today unveiled proposals to change UK immigration rules. Under the Labour proposals, legal migrants to the UK will be unable to claim benefits until they become citizens – which could take up to 30 years in some cases. However migrants with jobs in vital services, such as doctors and nurses, will be able to earn their settled status after five years.
