Looks like the next step will be to introduce "fees" at every level for anybody not having BC.AlexCh wrote:I completely do not understand how making getting citizenship more difficult and forcing people staying on ILR will help to decrease the load on schools, NHS, etc?
It will just a create a huge numbers of non-citizens permanently living in the UK - it only will make problems worse.
This is something that needs to be borne in mind. Making a citizenship relatively inaccessible (by whatever means) can, of course, produce the situation where people have their home in a country but find themselves unable to become citizens of it. This can be particularly true if the children of parents who are permanent residents are not citizens at birth - as is the case in a number of European countries, but not the UK - because you then have a possible situation where there can be generations of people residing perfectly legally in the country without becoming citizens.AlexCh wrote:It will just a create a huge numbers of non-citizens permanently living in the UK - it only will make problems worse.
This could be a blessing for all the countries from people are migrating to UK. Once the migrants to UK feel that they are never going to get citizenship, they will start sending more of their earnings back to their home country. This is exactly what happens in the middle east Oil rich countries. Most of them don't offer citizenship and everyone works there send all their earning back to their home countries, boosting the local economy in their home country.Christophe wrote: Making a citizenship relatively inaccessible (by whatever means) can, of course, produce the situation where people have their home in a country but find themselves unable to become citizens of it.
Well said! Mr!So the government intend to make it harder for law-abiding immigrants to get British passports but will continue to hand them out freely to the drunken scum who drag down the name of Britain abroad, just because they were born here of British parents.
I would prefer to see well-behaved Poles and Lithuanians having British passports. Have them taken off the people wearing Union Flag t-shirts fighting and throwing up on the streets of Majorca and Ibiza.
If a highly skilled migrant proved to be a great
success in the labour market (demonstrated by high wages and
therefore larger tax payments) or could show they set up a
flourishing business, or brought into the UK substantial new
investment, they might earn credits at a rate that would allow them
to settle after two years, instead of the five years we set as standard.
I beg to differ. I do like the new proposed rule. Other than genuine asylum seekers all others seeking to settle in must be valued on the economic/cultural or other positive contribution (sports,academic etc) they can make to their new home. This will result in the HO treating people on their merits rather than the current blanket treatment HO is providing where everyone is treated like an illegal immigrant.Siggi wrote: This is a disgrace and typically Labour Party bull!
