Immigration to become harder for the UK for foreign workers

by Silverdragon102 Staff

Couple of news reports saying it is going to become much harder for foreign workers to get jobs in the UK. The UK is suffering from closures and economical problems and expect things to get worse

The Government is to tighten immigration rules to make sure jobs go to unemployed British people rather than foreign workers.

The Home Office confirmed she wanted to further tighten the new points-based immigration system, designed to control the flow of workers from outside the EU into Britain.

Jobs 'to be promoted in UK first'

Employers will be forced to publicise skilled job vacancies on the Jobcentre Plus network before advertising them abroad, the Home Office has said.

This follows concerns that some firms are effectively hiding jobs from UK workers such as builders and nurses by promoting them only in trade magazines.

The group affected by the government's change will be "tier two'' immigrants, who include primary school teachers, some categories of nurses, hotel managers and construction workers.

In my opinion, jobs in the UK should go to unemployed British citizens first. In this time of economic uncertainty, the policy makes good sense. Each country must first make sure that its own citizens can find jobs, before looking to import foreign workers...

I'd prefer a workforce that works hard and cares about what they do. Much more important than where someone comes from whatever their occupation. This country, like the US, needs immigrants. The economy will recover, the ageing population will not go away.

Maybe so but when there are lots of unemployed citizens then they should really be encouraged to find work or retrain (I knew many that preferred not to work and claim benefit they really hadn't paid any contribution to)

I'd still have a work force that wants to work and be productive than one that needs to be "encouraged".
