A NEW WAVE OF MIGRANTS WIN THE RIGHT TO FLOOD UK


BRITAIN has been warned to expect a new wave of immigration from Eastern Europe after half a million Ukrainians and Serbians were given the right to live, work and claim benefits in the UK.
Rules passed by the Hungarian parliament means that anyone who can speak the nation’s language or prove they have Hungarian roots can become a citizen and get a full EU passport.




GORDON BROWN IGNORED IMMIGRATION WARNINGS

Former prime minister Gordon Brown was told not to brush concerns about UK immigration “under the carpet” and that the scale of the error was apparent after the disastrous encounter with the Labour voter Gillian Duffy.
“I said to him that he should have been talking immigration for the last year and a half and it was a mistake to brush it under the carpet,” the union-backed Labour leadership contender said.

“What Mrs Duffy said is what Labour supporters and other have been saying for the last year and a half. Mrs Duffy wasn’t raising a race point, she was talking about jobs and education. If we don’t respond to those concerns we will pay a very high price,” he said.

Mr Balls has called for an end to the free UK immigration of workers from the EU saying that means re-examining the relationship between domestic laws and European rules which allow unaccompanied migrants to send child benefit and tax credits back to families at home.

The UK immigration minister Damian Green has accused Mr Balls of hypocrisy, as he was at the Treasury in 2004 when the department pushed through the Labour Party’s open-door UK immigration policy.
 
 
 
 

MIGRATIONWATCH - CONSERVATIVE BACKED "POINTS IMMIGRATION SYSTEM" IS A COMPLETE FAILURE

Despite giving cautious backing to the Conservative Party during the recent election, immigration think tank Migrationwatch has now been forced to admit that the Labour Party-invented and Tory-backed points-based immigration system has completely failed.
Migrationwatch chairman Sir Andrew Green attacked the points-based system in public after a House of Commons library research paper revealed that the system had given more than 1.1 million jobs to immigrants who could have been refused work permits.
“So much for the ‘tough’ points-based system,” Sir Andrew was quoted as saying.
“This research shows beyond doubt that British workers have been displaced by foreign-born workers. This cannot be in our wider interests.
“British workers are having their wages held down or even losing their jobs as a result of competition from migrant workers who can afford to work for less,” Sir Andrew said.
According to the latest figures, the number of non-EU origin workers in Britain increased even during the worst of the recession period when British unemployment rose by more than 400,000.
Between 1997 and 2009, the number of jobs held by foreign-born workers in Britain went up from 7.5 percent to 12.9 percent and now stands at around 3,720,000 of the total. Only 576,000 of this latter number came from within the EU.
This means that 3.2 million came from outside the EU and, to make matters worse, it transpires that 1,130,000 were granted work permits under the points-based system.
