  1. According to the immigration minister, Britain has to make sure that the right people immigrate.

    The view of the previous government was that: a higher number of immigrants will increase GDP

    Most welcome are those who: Have financial means in order to be independent

  2. Immigration remains one of the most important issues in Britain.
    Britain does not need more middle managers or unskilled labour and only wants the "brightest and the best" immigrants,and also immigrants to the UK should be able to speak English and have enough money to support themselves

  4. Immigration means not only in Britain a big problem. France has too many foreigners which cause him too many trouble.The biggest problem is that they stealing and cheating, most of them bring shame in their home countries. I understand completely why do these countries want to exclude immigrants.

  5. Immigration is a huge problem across Europe. The TV news are full of this kind of problems in different countries. I think that most of the immigrants are steeling jobs from the indigenous, they are working for less money and for longer time. The companies are take the chance to pay less money for the employees.
    This is one of the problems, the other one is the behavior of immigrants. They are paupers, they steel and cheat and they are burglars. They endanger the safety of the home side. It is sad that this is happening.

  6. Immigration remains one of the most important problem,all over the world.Not always the right people immigrate.But most of the immigrants have low incomes and this is one of the reasons why they choose to do this.

  7. My opinion is that Britain is taking the right points in tring to chose that the right people will have live in the country because will be difficult to keep foreign persons if they don't bring any benefit and if they take from there important things and money!It's important that every person has a legal job in that way Britain can take taxes from every person and the country can improve or can have money for other important things!
