V447 - Immigration Bill 2012
The Government is aware that immigration can benefit a country when controlled in a proportionate manner.
This bill will continue to accept immigrants into the United Kingdom who are highly skilled and have an offer of employment; we recognise that these immigrants help our economy grow. The Government recognises that during these tough economic times, it can be very easy for people to reach a state of unemployment due to a variety of factors; this bill gives 12 months for immigrants who have reached this state of unemployment to find alternative work.
A report published earlier this year, proves that non-EU immigration is linked to the employment levels of 'native workers'. In light of this report, the Government will not accept applications for Tier 3 visas when UK unemployment levels reach 2 million. Tier 3 visas are for those who wish to come to the UK and undertake temporary unskilled labour work; the Government recognises the absurdity in accepting Tier 3 visas when unemployment is high.
The Government believes, that through the implementation of this bill, we can reward hard-working skilled immigrants who are contributing to the economy, whilst ensuring that the flow of immigration does not become uncontrollable. -

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012That's the Tory way I'm afraid...(Original post by JPKC)
Nope!
Why is the government so determined to make practically every bill so allergic to getting passed? -

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012I don't think Socialists/Labour need to answer that question. This bill is truly outrageous.(Original post by internetguru)
What exactly is your problem with it?
I hope it doesn't pass. -
Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012It reduces population growth and keeps more people out for jobs we simply don't have. What is the problem? This solves problems like any bill should.(Original post by RoryS)

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012The problem of unemployment isn't that there's too many people - it's that there isn't enough jobs being created. Why don't we also have a child restriction policy, like China? If there's less people it must mean less unemployment, surely, going by the logic of this bill.(Original post by internetguru)

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012Unfortunately the economy isn't going to get any better so increasing the population will only make it worst. Good idea I will work on a bill.(Original post by davidmarsh01)

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012Population growth is fine at the moment, what we need is more and better jobs to make sure that everyone has work. We also need to encourage small businesses to take on younger staff as the figures around youth unemployment are currently massive.(Original post by internetguru)

Your priorities should be the young, not the people coming through the borders who are actually hard-workers and bring culture into our country and local communities. -
Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012You realise employers will choose to employ immigrants with any experience before the young right?(Original post by RoryS)

Re: V447 - Immigration Bill 2012Common sense why would some random youngster without any experience or relevant training get the job?(Original post by RoryS)
