Immigration

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, during his last speech, announced the Conservatives’ ideas to reduce immigration and limit the number of British citizenships given to foreign nationals by toughening up the requirements. He has set his government the target of reducing net migration to Britain from "hundreds of thousands" to "tens of thousands" by the next general election. David Cameron appealed also to the public to "shop" illegal immigrants and announced a drive against bogus marriages as he promised to "reclaim our borders". 


Under moves set out by David Cameron, individuals applying to come to Britain for family reasons will have to demonstrate that they can speak English, have the means to support themselves as well as genuine family links in Britain. He said that new ‘candidates’ would have to learn British history to prove their connection with Great Britain. "There's a whole chapter in the citizenship handbook on British history. But, incredibly, there are no questions on British history in the test," he said.

According to the Conservative policy:

“The Government believes that immigration has enriched our culture and strengthened our economy. But the unlimited migration we saw under Labour placed unacceptable pressure on public services. We are taking action to tackle immigration, and it is our aim to reduce the level of net migration to sustainable levels down from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands within the lifetime of this parliament.”


One interesting comment on the article:

“Maybe "they" should be required to pay off "our" credit card and store card debts too.. Dave could kill off two birds with one pole.” (scamalarm)

That’s what I think,
