IMMIGRANTS: ENOUGH, SAY MPS


Visas will be limited to halt population boom

Sunday September 7,2008
By Kirsty Buchanan IMMIGRANTS should be sent home after four years to stop Britain’s population spiralling out of control, say MPs.

A cross-party group will tomorrow demand strict new quotas not only on immigrants arriving in Britain but those allowed to stay for good.

Workers from outside the European Union would be given four-year visas, after which time they would be expected to return to their own countries.

Only highly skilled applicants would be allowed to stay on and then only if the Government had not reached an annual cap on economic migrants.

The move could mean between 150,000 and 170,000 people a year would be stripped of their right to settle here and sent home.

In the past decade 750,000 British people have quit the UK while 2.5million migrants have arrived. Next year, England is expected to become the most crowded country in Europe, overtaking Holland.

Left unchecked, the net influx of immigrants will swell England’s population by a further seven million within 25 years – the equivalent of seven cities the size of Birmingham.

On Tuesday the Home Office will unveil more details of its new system for work permits, designed to attract highly skilled immigrants. But the scheme will be overshadowed by the launch of the Cross Party Group on Immigration, headed by former Labour and Conservative ministers Frank Field and Nicholas Soames.

The group’s report, drawn up by Migrationwatch, proposes pressing ahead with Labour’s points system but limiting visas to four years.

“Thereafter they would be expected to return to their own countries (or move elsewhere) and make good use of the experience they had gained in Britain,â€

Boy... Their Quick lol...... Scared Maybe?
