As Ijeoma writes, many of these young people are working and paying tax. This surcharge thus represents a #DoubleTax, which, combined with other Home Office fees for leave to remain applications, makes life constantly precarious. youtube.com/watch?v=-70ULD…

Take @LetUs_Learn's Ijeoma: "I came to the UK from Nigeria when I was two. I am now 23. I went to primary school, secondary school and sixth form here. All my friends are here. I am a proud Londoner. I know no other home." politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

It is not just "temporary" migrants who are affected by the surcharge, and the @ukhomeoffice's decision to double it. Many people who arrived as children and call the UK home also have to pay, with such decisions throwing their futures into doubt.

In the House of Lords yesterday, the government stuck to its position that the NHS surcharge is a "fair means of ensuring that temporary migrants make a financial contribution to the operation of the service" - but this omits some crucial facts ... theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2018…

Ijeoma came to the UK when she was two years old. If @ukhomeoffice increase the amount of Immigration Health Surcharge Ijeoma has to pay every 30months, she maybe forced into illegality. Why is this fair if this is Ijeoma's home?

It is unacceptable the government makes such enormous profits on childrens’ #immigration fees.
I have spoken out about this issue in the past and will continue to press the government for reform
