Minister hint on immigration limit
Press Assoc. - Sunday, October 5 02:36 pmCampaigners for a "balanced migration" policy welcomed hints from the Government's new immigration minister that he may seek limits on the number of migrants coming into Britain.
(Advertisement)
Phil Woolas said Government policy must reflect the need for an upper limit on the size of Britain's population, in order to provide confidence to the native population that migration is "under control".
His comments follow a recent European Commission report predicting that unless trends change immigration will drive a surge in UK population from 61 million to 77 million by 2060, making Britain the EU's most crowded state.
The co-chairs of a cross-party parliamentary group calling for balanced migration are to meet Home Secretary Jacqui Smith on Wednesday to discuss their call to stabilise UK population over time by limiting the flow of people into the country to match the numbers leaving each year.
Mr Woolas told the Sunday Times that it was vital "to provide confidence to the indigenous population that migration is under control".
And he added: "On a common sense level there has to be a limit to the population. You have to have a policy that thinks about the population implication as well as the immigration implication."
The minister's remarks appear to suggest a possible shift in Government thinking towards the possibility of a cap on migrant numbers, after years in which ministers have focused on ensuring that those entering the country are able to contribute to the economy. The Government's points-based system is intended to ensure that non-EU nationals without useful job skills are barred from entry to the UK, while high-skilled migrants are welcomed.
But Mr Woolas said: "On the one hand is the rationale that we have got to strengthen our economy. But we have got to provide reassurance to communities that the numbers coming in are not bad for us. Community cohesion is crucial. After the economy, this is probably the biggest concern facing the population."
The co-chairs of the All-Party Group on Balanced Migration, Labour's Frank Field and Conservative Nicholas Soames, said in a joint statement: "We welcome the remarks by the new minister for immigration in which he acknowledged the importance of limiting the growth in our population, much of which is due to immigration. We look forward to working with him to give these ideas practical form and we will be discussing them with the Home Secretary when we met her this week."
Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve said: "We cautiously welcome the sentiment but we have had plenty of tough talk from New Labour before, which was only followed by zero action. A great deal of damage has been done by Labour's refusal to face up to this issue."

Its just too easy to get in to the UK if you do it illegally.
Trygoing through the correct and LEGAL channels andsee how many hoops you have to jump through.
this is what me and the wife had to go through
Pay 250 quid for a two year visa.
Collect 54 pieces of proof ranging over those two years
(utilitybills, bank statements that sort of thing)
Two interviews to confirm your husband and wife for real.
Then pay 750 quid finally for the wifes Right to remain Visa.
And when she needs to get a new passport its another 350 quid to transfer her visa to her new passport.
And she is American??????
Should have just brought her in illegally.
Oh and by the way be prepared to be spoken too like S**T everytime you ring Imigration. |

| Has it all been said????? I dont think so!!! I can remember when we as Englishme walked the streets with pride, heads up and proud to be English, what have we today?? The older ones (Us) can still walk tall and be proud for what we have done for the Country! The rest walk about shoulders drooping and heads bowed, they dont even speak the same language, they all want to speak like the blacks,,, what has happend to society, why do they want to be like them, drugged up, F**ked up, imigration should have been capped many years ago. Even today I read in the papers that a Black Police officer is telling the ethnic minorities not to join the Police Force!!!! What is that all about???? Looks like Ghetto rules are going to be applied!!! Round em up and ship the bastards out!!!! |

We have quite a few immigrants up here now in my neck of the woods, most of them selling "The Big Issue". They are pretty good at it, they run after you if you don't buy one.  |
