On Banning Unskilled Migrants
The government has said that it is banning unskilled workers from non-EU countries for the “foreseeable future”. This is just pointless and probably illegal under some EU law. It is pointless because there are hundreds of thousands of unskilled migrants in Eastern Europe which are inside the EU who will immigrate, and it is them who are said to be causing the problems.
Frankly, I have no problem with immigrants, wherever they come from, if they come to work and are willing to integrate - my problem is with lazy-arse Britons who don’t bother getting a job because they can live off the State. I just can’t see how so many just can’t get jobs - since they are supposed to be “Job Seekers” - and yet so many unskilled immigrants can.
So long as they come and work and try to integrate, why can anyone object? If we have jobs that need filling, they need filling. if Britons are too lazy/unwilling to the job, then give it to someone who will. And instead anyone talking about how much they are taking out of us in services, talk about how much the Britons who could be doing the job if they could be bothered are taking out - far more, since they are also claiming benefits.
This ban is pointless as it is mostly unskilled migrants from inside the EU who are coming here - and this ban won’t stop them. All it is aimed to do is make the government look tough while they are being soft.
