LABOUR "TOUGH" ON IMMIGRATION - YEAH, RIGHT!

     
IMMIGRATION SOARS 20% AFTER LABOUR'S "CRACKDOWN"

Labour's supposedly tough points-based immigration system actually led to huge increases in foreign workers and students cleared to live in Britain, it emerged last night. Experts said the new Government had a 'mountain to climb' to bring migration under control.

Labour ministers, led by Gordon Brown, repeatedly claimed the Australian-style points system for non-EU nationals would reduce immigration. Economic migration was expected to fall by as much as 12 per cent. But analysis published last night showed that, in fact, it increased by 20 per cent - while the number of foreign students went up by more than 30 per cent.

Sir Andrew Green, of Migrationwatch-which produced the study, said: 'This is Labour's guilty secret. 'When they talked about immigration at all before and during the election campaign, they claimed that they were getting it under control with their tough new system. The truth was quite different.  

'They have left an immigration system in chaos and the coalition with a huge mountain to climb in order to fulfil David Cameron's election promise that net immigration would be brought down from the present level to tens of thousands, as in the 1980s and early 1990s.' 

Figures released by the Office for National Statistics last week showed net immigration had increased the total population by 142,000 last year. Migrationwatch said Labour ministers had been asked parliamentary questions on the effects of the points system but had not given answers ahead of the election.

However, analysis of fresh government figures shows that the number of non-EU migrants given work permits, or permission to carry on working in Britain, increased by 20 per cent, from 159,535 in 2007 - the year before points were introduced - to 190,640 last year. The total includes dependents.

For students, which came under the points system a year later in 2008, the number of approvals increased by 31 per cent from 208,800 that year to 273,445 a year later.

In 2008, Phil Woolas said that 'had we introduced the points-based system a year ago there would be 12 per cent less migratory workers in the country than there are now'. During the election campaign, Gordon Brown said: 'I think we have got to show people that we are taking tough action and the points-based system we have introduced is changing things. I hope that voters understand that we have got a very tough attitude on this.' 

Figures released by the Office for National Statistics last week showed that more than half the 503,000 immigrants who arrived in the year to last September - 270,000 people - were from outside the EU. At the same time, the number of foreign nationals given British citizenship rose above 200,000 in 2009 - up more than 50 per cent in 12 months.

STORY FROM THE DAILY MAIL

So there we have it - nobody I know believed a word that Labour said anyway, but now we have the absolute proof that it was all complete lies and total bollocks from start to finish. What a bunch of lying, scheming, nation-destroying, commie cunts!

The coalition will have their work cut out to deal with this treasonous shambles which Blair, Brownfinger, Mandelsnake and the rest of the fucking Labour scum imposed on the Country, much of which cannot and will never be undone. No wonder the Brownfinger fuckpig has been cowering and hiding away in Scotland - he has had neither the courage nor the courtesy to show up at Westminster.... well.... he is both an ignorant boor and a coward as well as being a mentally unstable bully, so I suppose it's only to be expected.

CUNT!
