Illegal migrants will be given a free house and paid a wage even if they don't work under Zack Polanski's 'dangerous' Green Party immigration policy
Illegal migrants would be given a free house and paid a wage with no requirements to work under the Green Party's official immigration policy.Zack Polanski would let migrants use the NHS for free and work 'with no restrictions' the moment they landed in Britain under plans for 'a world without borders'.It comes as a bombshell new national poll put the Greens in second nationally as voters prepare to go to the polls in an increasingly fraught Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday.Newly unearthed policy proposals show the Greens plan to 'abolish' immigration detention and grant a full amnesty to illegal migrants to stay in Britain even if their asylum claims are rejected.The internal policy documents, seen by the Mail, state that 'migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances' and 'the Green Party wants to see a world without borders'.It adds: 'The Green Party seeks to establish a system that recognises that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting and therefore supports and encourages them to put down roots in their new home.'Last night Reform UK and Labour derided the Green's 'open border plans', branding them 'financially reckless but also dangerous.'But Mr Polanski's party said it was 'proud' of its immigration policies, which it claimed have proved 'popular' on the doorstep during the Greater Manchester by-election campaign. Green leader Zack Polanski's party would give illegal migrants a free house, access to NHS care and pay them a wage with no work requirements from the day they entered Britain Gorton and Denton Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer has accused her Labour counterpart of 'racist dogwhistles' and urged her to 'condemn her party's racist campaign tactics' in a significant escalation of tensions Polanski and Spence pose for a picture on January 30Under the Green leader's premiership all illegal migrants would be handed a wage 'at the level of Universal Basic Income', with 'no requirement to be either working or actively seeking work'.Migrant families would be 'accommodated in a house or flat with exclusive use' and lone men would 'each have their own room' in shared accommodation - but would be upgraded to their own property if they claimed to be LGBTQIA+ for 'safeguarding purposes'.The proposals add that illegal migrants 'will be allowed to take up employment, with no restriction' and will be 'provided with free access to all NHS facilities' the second they cross the Channel - with these rights remaining 'even if their [asylum] case is rejected'.Meanwhile immigration detention 'will be abolished' and even illegal migrants who have 'exhausted all [asylum] appeal rights' would not be deported.The policy adds: 'There will be no requirement for any applicant, or any person whose case has been refused, to report regularly to the Department of Migration.'Reform UK's home office spokesman Zia Yusuf branded the Green Party's plans 'dangerous'. He told the Mail: 'Under the Green's open borders plans not only is every hoodlum and criminal welcome to our shores but entitled to free housing, healthcare and anything else they might fancy.'My only surprise is Zack Polanski isn't promising to furnish them all with free heroin and crack cocaine which he wants to legalise. The Green's policies are not only financially reckless but also dangerous.' The internal Green policy documents, seen by the Mail, state that 'migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances' and 'the Green Party wants to see a world without borders' The policy adds: 'The Green Party seeks to establish a system that recognises that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting and therefore supports and encourages them to put down roots in their new home'The Green's policy suggests that migrants would be free to travel to Britain using fake documents on ferries or flights as 'penalties imposed on commercial carriers for transporting undocumented migrants will be abolished' and asylum claims would be admissible 'regardless of the route'.Meanwhile border force officers will be made to take a 'neutral approach' to interviewing asylum seekers and 'what the applicant says will be believed in the absence of contrary evidence'.The policy also says that illegal migrants would be 'invited' to stay in Britain permanently after five years, adding: 'Undocumented migrants who have been in the UK for at least five years will be invited to apply for settled status.'Mr Polanski's plans for Britain also state that foreign students and anybody with a visa - apart from a visitors' visa - would be given 'the right to vote in all elections and referendums'.They would also have full access to the NHS for free, be allowed to claim benefits and be paid an income without having to work from the day they arrive.The policy adds: 'Visa residents will have the right to bring members of their family to the UK who would normally live with them in their country of origin, or would do so if it were permitted by law or custom.'A Labour source said: 'The British public rightly expect our country to have immigration controls that are fair and properly enforced - not the open-borders plan that the Greens are proposing.'It comes after the Greens' plans to legalise drugs including crack cocaine and heroin, because they 'enhance human relationships and human creativity' were exposed last week.Mr Polanski's party plans to create a 'direct partnership' between the Government and South American drug cartels to introduce a 'sustainable supply' of cocaine to Britain and teach primary school children how to take drugs safely in Social and Health Education (PHSE) lessons.Meanwhile the Mail previously revealed that the Greens' official policy states that sex work 'should be decriminalised' and restrictions placed on sexually explicit material 'should be ended' except for those aimed at protecting children.The revelations come as voters prepare to head to the polls in Gorton and Denton on Thursday, with the Greens attempting to position themselves as the main opposition to Reform after Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, was blocked from standing.Polls suggest the outcome will be tight and campaigning in the constituency has become increasingly fraught. The Green's candidate, Hannah Spencer, accused her Labour counterpart of 'racist dogwhistles' and urged her to 'condemn her party's racist campaign tactics' in a significant escalation of tensions.She added: 'The Labour Party know they're out of this race. They're clearly happy to weaponise racism and division in their desperate attempts to stop us beating them.'It came as a new poll of 3,029 voters from Find Out Now put the Green Party in second nationally, with 18 per cent of the vote. Mr Polanski's party is behind Reform on 25 per cent and ahead of Labour on 16 per cent.A Green source said the policy proposals are different from the party's 2024 manifesto, which is costed, but conceded that it is a 'long-standing policy and aim' of the party.A Green Party spokesman said: 'We're proud of [this] policy, voted on and decided by our members, however much the Daily Mail tries to spin it.'And we know it's popular as well - Green policy regularly comes out as the most popular in polls, and it is also going down well in Gorton and Denton where Greens are now neck-and-neck with Reform to win what used to be one of Labour's safest seats in the country.'
