This is more extreme than Trump; in the US, Green Card holders are still protected for the most part.
This isn't new migrants either, it's everyone. Anyone who's not a British citizen but is living here risks being kicked out if they're unsuccessful for a much stricter Visa. This can be former EU citizens who've been here for decades, paid taxes, had families, but just never applied for a passport (£1,700 btw) because why did they never need to do so?
I know someone from Europe who's lived here for 45 years, now retired, married to an English partner and is now receiving a pension after working the vast majority of their adult life here, paying taxes. They will be removed under this policy because they're no longer a skilled worker and they'll certainly get their pension taken away.
How is that fair? How is that what we want this country to be?

Farage obviously thinks it's a vote-winner. I hope his current partner (French) and the mother of his children (German) have got their papers in order.
