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?

No one, wants to see foreign nationals that are working, paying taxes and contributing being deported.
But anyone that’s come here, never worked and received benefits all that time, needs looking at.
And anyone, that enters illegally should be immediately deported.

If they haven’t paid into the system, he has a point.
If they have, substantially enough to qualify for a pension, then they should receive it.
