Australia, Immigration »
Pauline Hanson, an Australian fromer anti-immigration politician, is planning to immigrate to the UK. Because Australia is no longer the “land of opportunity”.
So she is going to move to the UK. How ironic is that?
This is someone who has railed against immigration. So she’s going to immigrate here. She is a hypocrite, and we do not want her. She may have a right to live in the UK, but that doesn’t mean that she should.
She opposes immigration to Australia – claiming that it was being “swamped by Asians” – but …
Immigration, Politics »
In pretty much this fact only:
A cap on immigration is not the answer
Of course not. We need a free market, where all are able to come and go pretty much as they please, but without the right to claim any benefits. A free labour maket, unmolested by unions and protected interest groups demanding protection at the expense of the rest of society.
It’s interesting that a socialist is proposing a free market. Well, I suppose there must be a first time for everything.
Where she is wrong is in referring to the …
Big Brother, Immigration, Work »
It is obvious that one area can only hold so many people, but this is an impossible thing to keep to:
This Government isn’t going to allow the population to go up to 70 million.
And how, precisely, could they stop it? Are they going to adopt a Chinese-esque breeding-prevention programme? Or is it going to be on a one-death, one conception basis?
If have other major problems with the rest of Phil Woolas’ plans as well – such as the idea that we don’t need immigrants to keep the economy going and …
Benefits, Britishness, Immigration »
The governments new[ly reannounced] citizenship tests appear to be expecting immigrants to do more this country than is ever expected of “native” Britons.
Immigrants who want to become British and settle permanently in the UK will need to pass more tests to “prove their worth” to the country under new plans.Some migrants may also have to pay into a fund towards public services…Migrants would find their route to citizenship and full access to benefits, such as higher education, accelerated if they can prove they are “active” citizens.This would include charity work, …
Benefits, Immigration, Work »
Why are immigrants still flooding into Britain and getting jobs despite rising unemployment amongst unskilled Brits? Because unemployment benefits are too high, and act as a disincentive for actually getting paid work. The report from Migrationwatch shows that:
A family with two children is just £30 a week better off working on the minimum wage than not working.
A single person under 25 on the minimum wage of £193 per week is only £10 a day better off than a non-working person.
A family with two children and one working member receives £79.50 …
EU, Immigration »
The government has said that it is banning unskilled workers from non-EU countries for the “foreseeable future”. This is just pointless and probably illegal under some EU law. It is pointless because there are hundreds of thousands of unskilled migrants in Eastern Europe which are inside the EU who will immigrate, and it is them who are said to be causing the problems.
Frankly, I have no problem with immigrants, wherever they come from, if they come to work and are willing to integrate – my problem is with lazy-arse Britons …
Home Office, Immigration, Jacqui Smith »
Not just 5,000, but 10,000 illegal immigrants are employed in the security industry. Double the number suggested before. So the Home Office is twice as abysmal as I thought.
It’s just not good enough.
Especially not when they knew about this issue back in July!
The Home Office isn’t fit for purpose, and it is seeming increasingly likely that neither is the Home Secretary.
David Davis, Home Office, Immigration, Jacqui Smith »
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, put spin before the safety of the public. Despite knowing about illegal immigrants being employed by the Home Office – as security staff, of all things – in July she did nothing. Well, nothing to protect us anyway. She was far too busy spinning to save herself. In August, a Home Office memo read:
The Home Secretary has seen your submission of today’s date … She agrees with you that this is not ready for public announcement yet.
So she knew, but did nothing about it.
How can …
Home Office, Immigration »
The BBC reports that:
The Home Office has admitted illegal immigrants have been mistakenly cleared for jobs as security staff.
Let’s read that again:
The Home Office has admitted illegal immigrants have been mistakenly cleared for jobs as security staff. [emphasis added]
Bloody hell! If the Home Office is so bad at screening it’s own security staff as to end up employing people who shouldn’t even be in the country, how on earth can we trust them to screen out terrorists and other undesirables?
They don’t even know how many immigrants there are in this …
