They Can Do Our Dirty Work...
Then
they can go back home.
The governments new point system for immigrants coming
to the UK may be more transparent but it also highlights a policy
which will cream off skilled workers from poorer countries and
turn away unskilled workers in favour of migrant Eastern European
ones. In plain English this will mean that some countries will
lose their most valuable workers to the lure of the west and be
left with a huge amount of unskilled workers who will no longer
be able to access the specialised skills and education they could
have once gained in the West.
The government has said potential
immigrants would be divided into five categories under the scheme:Highly
skilled workers like doctors and financial experts who will be able to
come to Britain even if they do not have a job offer. Skilled workers
with the equivalent of A-levels who may be able to come if they have
a job offer. Low-skilled workers who will be allowed to fill specific
job vacancies for fixed periods on the understanding they will leave
at the end of their stay. Students and temporary workers staying in the
country for only a short time.
Just who will suffer the most from the new points system? Well Americans,
Canadians and Australians don't appear to have any problems coming
to the UK, as they live in fairly prosperous countries already, there
is not a huge amount that want to settle in the UK anyway. Europeans
no longer have a problem, so who does that leave? Well Africans, Caribbean's,
Asians and Arabs, all people with a non-white skin colour.
Low-skilled workers will be allowed to fill specific job vacancies for
fixed periods on the understanding they will leave at the end of their
stay. In other words the government is saying that low-skilled workers
have little value for the UK they will be good enough to clean the streets
and do the other jobs most UK residents don't want to do but after that
they can just go home.
And that folks is what they call democracy.
