Farage says mass deportation would save the UK £234 billion, and pledges for Reform UK to end the right of migrants to apply for permanent residency in the UK after five years.
Reform UK also said they would force those who already have settled status to reapply for a new stricter visa.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants to abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR), for which migrants can currently apply after five years, and force them to renew their visa every five years.
Applicants would have to meet certain criteria, including a higher salary threshold and better standard of English.
They would have to have lived in the UK for seven years, up from five, and there would be tighter restrictions on bringing spouses and children to the UK.
