Speech given by Theresa May on 'An Immigration System that Works in the National Interest'. The Speech was delivered on 12 December 2012.
A clear promise
Two two and a half years, coalition government, has been formed and we have a clear commitment to the British public. Uncontrolled mass immigration, thirteen years later, the government will need to reduce and control immigration.
The census statistics show's legacy with essential when we left. Between 2001 and 2011, more than half the population of England and Wales immigration.
Since we came to power, we have already taken steps to all the spokesman. We have limited economic migration, redesigned family visa, student and second in the country have cut the route.And those changes, the results are beginning to show. Official statistics, released two weeks ago, shows that in March this year, we cut a quarter of Britain net immigration - that 59.000 people. It is the largest traffic drop from 2008.
Immigration continues to fall and we can expect. Home Office visa statistics show that traffic information than fifteen percent, and 26 percent of the student visa work visas, family visas violent percent.
Benefit show to start. The number of people employed half a million in the previous year. In the end, the government, however, this increase was 87 percent responsible for the British-born workers.
Therefore, our policy has started to bite - but we do not have a choice. With an annual net migration, there are still hundreds of thousands to 183,000 at the end of this Parliament to have a way to reduce the number of reach.
I am sure that the system we have today in our national interest to sustainable immigration system really reduce the level of net migration, although the focus from around the world and attracting the best talent is to talk about the work you want to take.
First of all, I want to talk about the tools, we have given our criteria, it is inappropriate for people to come here, and even more friendly with people is to stop it, we want to come here. source "UK Border Agency"
