CHILDREN will be left destitute by a crackdown on migrants, announced today by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, a coalition of refugee organisations has warned.

Ms Mahmood’s plans include forced removal of failed asylum-seekers and delaying the qualifying period for settlement for migrants from five years to 10.

The Refugee and Migrant Children’s Consortium, which unites about 100 organisations, slammed the plans, which include incentivising asylum-seekers to leave voluntarily or face forced deportation.
