Government, immigration & English opinion


As read in the newspaper and in bold the opinion from a native

British Government announced changes in its immigration system that will mean that companies will not be able to bring immigrants from outside the European Union to work in fast food outlets (or those with a delivery service), beauty salons, hairdressers and estate agents. In total, the Government has eliminated seven professions with the aim of reducing access to the country by low skilled workers.

The Interior Ministry advised that with these new rulings, which take effect in April, immigrants wishing to come to work as cooks in the UK, will have to demonstrate academic qualifications, at least five years experience and a minimum wage of 28,000 pounds (approx 32,300€) after deductions for accommodation.

What is bigger? English working or getting benefits?
How many English has proper qualifications?
How many English earn a minimum of 28000 pounds?

With the elimination of the named professions, jobs available for unskilled immigrants from outside the EU will be reduced from the current half a million to around 230,000 - only 1% of the labour market and positions, that in many cases, can be occupied by British nationalists

Why the government thinks British want those jobs?
Why the government thinks British want a job?
Is the government sure about the problem is because immigrants?
