英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊似乎借鉴了唐纳德·特朗普总统的选举策略，承诺如果他继续掌权，将监督英国边境的大规模移民镇压。
随着离英国大选只有几周了约翰逊公布了一系列移民改革，如果他赢得12月12日的选举，保守党将实施这些改革。
约翰逊的政党纲领将于本周全面公布，作为纲领的一部分，他发誓要迫使抵达英国的移民在抵达英国的“第一天”为英国国民健康服务做出贡献。
根据新计划，移民在抵达时将被迫支付625英镑的附加费，以支付医疗费用，无论他们是否计划使用国民保健服务。
目前，从欧盟以外抵达英国的移民需要支付400英镑，而来自欧盟国家的移民则免于支付这笔费用。

他说:“英国人民为获得良好的国民保健服务付出了巨大的代价，英国每个人都这样做才是公平的。”。
除了向国民保健制度收取预付费用外，托利党还发誓禁止没有工作的移民进入英国，除非他们计划以高技能科学家或企业家的身份为经济做出贡献。
与此同时，约翰逊和他的政党还发誓，除了阻止向那些其子女居住在国外的人支付儿童福利外，在移民在英国居住五年之前，禁止他们享受国家福利。
英国内政大臣普里蒂·帕特尔吹捧移民改革是英国退出欧盟英国退出欧盟的好处的一部分。
帕特尔说:“英国退出欧盟的好处之一是我们可以收回控制权，让我们的系统更加公平，据英国独立电视台新闻报道。
“大多数保守党政府将确保从世界任何地方来到我们伟大国家的人在第一天做出贡献，”她说。

“实际上，里面几乎没有什么令人惊讶的新东西，”萨姆森说。“令人惊讶的是，”她说，“它没有更严格的限制。”
然而，该计划中让萨姆瑟普顿感到担忧的一部分是约翰逊试图迫使移民为国民医疗保险制度支付更高的附加费。
此前，对非欧盟移民的收费约为200英镑，后来增加到400英镑。萨默塞特说，通过将所有移民的人均收入提高到625英镑，“自推出以来，这一数字将增加两倍多”。
“成本相当高，”她说，尤其是对于那些想进入这个国家的家庭。
她警告说，“如果有人带着伴侣，除了孩子之外，他们还会为伴侣付费。”这意味着费用可能高达数千英镑。
尽管萨默塞特表示，在匆忙做出判断之前，她仍在等待约翰逊移民计划的其余部分，但英国移民观察(Migration Watch UK)主席阿尔普·麦赫迈特(Alp Mehmet)称赞首相的计划是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，但表示这不太可能带来“重大”变化。
“最后，保守党在移民问题上有一点感觉，即希望看到移民减少的3000万人将会受到欢迎，但应该谨慎对待，”穆罕默德说。
“实现这一目标需要在选举前几周做出不明确的承诺。目前提出的政策不太可能导致大幅削减，”英国移民观察主席断言。
2019年9月24日，在联合国大会期间，唐纳德·特朗普总统和英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊在纽约联合国总部举行会议。约翰逊似乎在借鉴特朗普移民政策的剧本。
约翰逊承诺打击移民之际，特朗普仍在继续竞选，承诺在明年年底前看到美国和墨西哥之间至少修建450英里的边境墙，作为他自己2020年竞选活动的一部分。
约翰逊已经被指控效仿特朗普的竞选策略，与英国议员安娜·苏布里联手指责英国领导人把他的言辞建立在“唐纳德·特朗普剧本”的基础上，使用“分裂的语言”
不管是真是假，约翰逊的竞选策略似乎奏效了，托利党看到了自2017年5月以来对工党的最大领先。根据YouGov为时代周刊，托利党目前领先杰里米·科尔宾党17个百分点。
BORIS JOHNSON FOLLOWS DONALD TRUMP'S LEAD ON IMMIGRATION, UNVEILING PLANS FOR MAJOR CRACKDOWN
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson appears to have taken a page from President Donald Trump's election playbook, promising to oversee a widespread immigration crackdown at Britain's borders if he remains in power.
With Britain's general election just weeks away, Johnson has unveiled a string of immigration reforms his Conservative party would put into place if he wins the December 12 vote.
As part of his party's platform, which is set to be revealed in full this week, Johnson has vowed to force immigrants arriving in the UK to contribute to its National Health Service (NHS) on "day one" of arriving in the country.
Under the new plan, immigrants would be forced to pay a surcharge of £625 upon arrival to cover the cost of care, regardless of whether they plan to use the NHS's services.
Currently, immigrants arriving in Britain from outside the European Union are required to pay £400, while those coming from EU countries are exempt from paying the fee.
Speaking to the The Sunday Times, however, Johnson suggested that could soon come to an end, with the prime minister telling the newspaper: "If people return a majority Conservative government we will ensure that people who come to our great country from anywhere in the world will contribute on day one to our NHS."
"The British people pay huge amounts to get great NHS care, it is only fair that everyone in the UK does," he said.
In addition to charging an up-front fee for the NHS, the Tories have also vowed to bar immigrants from entering Britain without a job, unless they plan to contribute to the economy as either highly skilled scientists or entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, Johnson and his party have also vowed to stop immigrants from being entitled to state benefits until they have lived in the UK for five years, in addition to preventing the payment of child benefits to those whose children are living outside the country.
British Home Secretary Priti Patel touted the immigration reforms as part of the benefits of Brexit, Britain's exit from the European Union.
"One of the benefits of Brexit is that we get to take back control and make our system fairer," Patel said, according to broadcaster ITV News.
"A majority Conservative government will ensure that people who come to our great country from anywhere in the world will contribute on day one," she said.
Speaking to Newsweek, Madeleine Sumption, the director of The Migration Observatory, a body at the University of Oxford providing analysis on immigration issues affecting Britain, said that much of Johnson's plan was to be expected as part of Britain's departure from the European Union.
"There's actually very little in there that is surprisingly new," Sumption said. "What is surprising," she said, "is that it's not more restrictive."
The one part of the plan that Sumption did flag as worrying, however, was Johnson's bid to force immigrants to pay a heightened surcharge for the NHS.
Previously, the charge for non-EU immigrants had been at around £200 before being increased £400. By raising it to £625 for all immigrants, "it will have more than tripled since it was introduced," Sumption said.
"The cost is quite significant," she said, particularly for families seeking to enter the country.
"If you had someone who was bringing a partner with them, they would pay for their partner too, in addition to any children," meaning the cost could total in the thousands, she warned.
While Sumption said she was still waiting to hear the rest of Johnson's immigration plan before rushing to judgment, Alp Mehmet, the chairman of Migration Watch UK, an influential right-wing think tank pushing for stronger immigration controls, praised the prime minister's plan as a step in the right direction, but said it was unlikely to bring about "significant" change.
"Finally, a bit of sense from the Conservatives on immigration that 30 million people who wish to see immigration reduced will welcome but rightly treat with caution," Mehmet said.
"Delivering on this will take more than vague commitments weeks before an election. Policies currently being proposed are unlikely to lead to a significant reduction," the Migration Watch UK chairman asserted.
President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hold a meeting at UN Headquarters in New York, September 24, 2019, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Johnson appears to be taking a page from Trump's playbook on immigration policy.
Johnson's promise of an immigration crackdown comes as Trump continues to campaign on his vow to see at least 450 miles of border wall built between the U.S. and Mexico before the end of next year as part of his own election campaign in the 2020 race.
Already, Johnson has been accused of emulating Trump's campaign strategies, with British MP Anna Soubry accusing the British leader of basing his rhetoric on "the Donald Trump playbook" and using the "language of division."
True or not, Johnson's campaign strategy appears to be working, with the Tories seeing their biggest lead over the Labour party since May 2017. According to a YouGov survey conducted for the Times, the Tories are currently 17 points ahead of Jeremy Corbyn's party.
