The United Kingdom is planning to require digital identification cards for all workers to stem the flow of illegal immigrants entering the country, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Friday.

“This government will make a new free-of-charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this Parliament,” he said at the Global Progress Action Summit in London. “Let me spell that out: You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID. It’s as simple as that.”
