The Green Party would offer illegal migrants free accommodation and a Universal Basic Income with no requirement to seek work, according to newly surfaced policy documents.
Under proposals backed by leader Zack Polanski, those arriving in Britain without authorisation would gain immediate access to NHS services and be allowed to work without restriction as part of the party’s vision for “a world without borders”.
The internal papers, revealed by the Daily Mail, also set out plans to scrap immigration detention entirely and grant amnesty to migrants whose asylum claims have been rejected.
The documents declare that “migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances” and outline an approach that would treat new arrivals as “citizens in waiting”, encouraging them to settle permanently.
Migrant families would be provided with exclusive use of a house or flat, while single men would be allocated their own rooms in shared properties.
Those identifying as LGBT would receive separate accommodation for safeguarding reasons.
The proposals say these entitlements would remain in place “even if their case is rejected”, with no deportation for those who have exhausted appeal rights.
Border Force officers would be instructed to adopt a “neutral approach” during interviews, accepting applicants’ accounts “in the absence of contrary evidence”.

Fines for airlines and ferry operators carrying undocumented passengers would also be abolished.
The revelations come as a fresh national poll places the Greens second in voting intention, intensifying scrutiny of their platform.
Reform UK Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf condemned the plans as “reckless” and “dangerous”.
“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,” he told the Daily Mail.

Mr Yusuf added: “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.”
His remarks follow reports last week detailing the party’s proposals to decriminalise drugs including heroin and crack cocaine, which the Greens argue “enhance human relationships and human creativity”.
Reacting to the internal documents, 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.”

GETTYA recent Find Out Now poll of 3,029 respondents put the Greens on 18 per cent nationally, behind Reform on 25 per cent but ahead of Labour on 16 per cent.
A source rom within Mr Polanski’s party said the proposals differ from the party’s fully costed 2024 manifesto, but admitted they remain a “long-standing policy and aim”.
A spokesman for the Green Party told the Daily Mail: “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.”
