About Me


Strangers into Citizens is a campaign by the Citizen Organising Foundation (COF), an alliance of faith and community organizations across London and in Birmingham.
We propose that irregular migrants who have lived and worked in the UK for four or more years be granted a two-year work permit. At the end of those two years, subject to employer and character references, they should be given leave to remain.
Such regularisations have been successfully carried out by other European nations. It is time it was carried out in the UK.
Strangers into Citizens is campaigning for a one-off regularisation measure to be introduced as part of the Government's reform of immigration.
We ask that the Government consider for undocumented workers, that they might enjoy the same inalienable fundamental rights to fair pay and the protection of the law which the British people have proudly won for themselves.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
