'Cap' on immigration is no longer in place

So despite promises, nothing has changed

Bit of a sweeping statement there. A temporary cap on non-EU skilled workers has been challenged and upheld. There will probably be an appeal or a change in how this part of immigration policy is introduced again. The government will still be working to reduce immigration. I don’t see a broken promise here. Is there something you know that we don’t?
 
I'm starting to feel the government brings in legislation they know the courts will throw out so they can turn to us, shrug their shoulders and say "we'll, we tried".
 
I'm having trouble figuring out what it is people want from their immigration policy here. I get the feeling people have the image of Britain being like a vault that must stay locked at all times and forever to the outside, but that you are more than welcome to leave at any time.
 
why?

We need a cap.

All the Gov will do is lower the planned in April.

So Karma is normalised
It is a cap on skilled non-EU immigrants. Many of these are skilled individuals who are hired in by companies who cannot find the skills locally. If companies here cannot find enough 'people to do the job' they go elsewhere.

With the pension timebomb ticking here, we need to do everything we can to keep the mean population age low (i.e. lots of workers to pay pension contributions), and that means letting in Non-EU skilled workers.
 
Based on the evidence, I do say so. Why the rolleyes? You are talking nonsense. Do you honestly have any idea how Tier1 HSMP and Tier 2 work permits work?

Do you really think the British WANT any more people coming into the country?

We have over 2.4 million out of work.
So dont come to me with we need skilled xyz people, as we probably have them or we can train them to suit the job.

It always been business getting staff on the cheap.
 
Do you really think the British WANT any more people coming into the country?

I do. As long as they are skilled and have something to offer to society, have a job lined up and will contribute towards our tax system and country, I think you'd be utterly bonkers to send SKILLED people away.

What the vast majority of British people dislike are the people who'll come here, find cash in hand work via their own communities already established here, avoid paying into the system or even socializing out of their own ethic communities but will take advantage of everything that they can get coming to them.

You're not going to find people who come here as "skilled workers" working cash in hand at your local newsagents or ethic takeaway. They'll in most cases end up doing valuable jobs that either "British" people can't or do not want to do.

Or 2.4 million low skilled workers?

before we even mention the great swathes of those who dont want to work...

as it goes, i welcome ANYONE who wants to come here, work hard and pay taxes. Those that are here already (many by birth) who refuse to make an effort should be boiled down for soylent green.

We do.

But not a cap on skilled migration. There is no problem with skilled migration.


What they should do is retrain the people already living here..problem solved.
