Britain Has 'too Many' Low-skilled Migrants, Interior Minister Says by ednut1(m): 2:07pm On Oct 03, 2022
LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Britain has too many low-skilled migrant workers and very high numbers of international students, who often brought dependents with them, the country's new interior minister Suella Braverman said in an interview with The Sun on Sunday newspaper.

Braverman said new Prime Minister Liz Truss's government aimed to stick to a 2019 election pledge to lower net migration in an interview ahead of the ruling Conservative Party's annual conference.

Finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng said on Sept. 23 that the government was looking to review immigration policy as part of an attempt to boost growth, following complaints from business groups that post-Brexit rules were too restrictive, especially for low-paid jobs.

However, Braverman said reducing migration was an aim shared by all of Truss's senior ministers.

"What we've got is too many low skilled workers coming into this country," she said. "We've also got a very high number of students coming into this country and we've got a really high number of dependents."

"Those people are coming here, they're not necessarily working or they're working in low-skilled jobs, and they're not contributing to growing our economy," she added.

Since January 2021, most workers must be paid at least 25,600 pounds ($28,570) a year for an employer to sponsor a visa, causing problems for employers in sectors such as agriculture, hospitality and some manufacturing, where lower wages are common.

Numbers of EU workers have fallen, but this has been offset by an increase in the number of non-EU workers, especially from India. Net migration to Britain totalled 239,000 in the year to June 2021, according to the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics.

Braverman also said she wanted to restrict the ability of migrants to challenge deportation on the basis that they had been subjected to forced labour or human trafficking, known in Britain as "modern slavery".

Unserious people. After making it so difficult for professionals of series of years of experience to get a job in the country, all because their degrees are not tenable.
Meanwhile, health and IT international professionals degrees and skills are recognised in the same country.
Use and dump.
Did the Nurses and IT guys not finish from the same Nigeria? Telmabout shortage list cry

A small economy that is not diversified yet abut to neighbours with poor economic growth rates. I am not surprised. BTW, the views from Kwasi and hers are confusing, which one should businesses believe? Also, is 25K pounds not low enough for businesses? How long should the government go?

I really do not see why the UK should complain. Have they considered the amount of money the international students are bringing into the UK economy cutting across tuition fees, accommodation, feeding, transport, clothing etc?

And these students didn't come to study courses for low skill jobs so in the long run, it's still a win for the UK as long as there are jobs for them soon as they are done with their studies. Those temporarily engaged in the low skill jobs pay taxes too which goes into the coffers of the govt.

It[quote author=ednut1 post=117512414][/quote] there is current housing shortage and many kids cants find school space for there kids .I used to think oyinbo are smart where will this hostels and houses and primary school space to accommodate over 100,000 people that suddenly Landed. a Smart Nation will look at the volume of Empty houses , available school space ,health care space and jobs before allowing Mass influx . They can also issue visa to specific region only .like done in Australia . Yes we will.give you visa but you have to go to Wales or Northern Ireland . But uk Na criminals just after milking Nigerians and throwing them out !
