The controversial immigration plan that the UK government wants to implement

The United Kingdom is one of the major destinations of the people who want to emigrate from their home countries. According to the last data published by the United Nations, there are actually 9.552.110 inmigrants, this means, 14.33% of the total population. The region plans to close the doors to unskilled workers and non-English speakers.


The mission of the new policy towards immigration, which will begin to apply on 1 January 2021, is to stop with "the era of cheap EU labor in factories, warehouses, hotels, and restaurants", explains The Guardian. This means the decision is strictly linked with the Brexit deal (the retirement from the European Union) on 31 January 2020.

The UK Government posted a Policy Paper presenting the points-based immigration system which states that the objective is to get back the control of their borders in order to attract people who will contribute to their economy, community and public services. They deeply believe it will also help to tighten security.

The skilled-English-speakers-workers will have to demonstrate that they have a job offer and that it is at the required skill level for "£25,600 (per year)– though a salary “floor” of £20,480 will be acceptable in special cases where there might have a skills shortage skills, such as in nursing".

The chart shows the requirements and the assigned points given to each of them. A total of 70 points are going to be demanded. By the word "tradeable", they are trying to explain that some of the qualifications are essential, and others are not.



The entire globe is talking about this controversy, and in Great Britain, opinion is divided: some people consider the new scheme will make the region progress while others feel that it will make the region lose in economic, labor and cultural matters: "My mother, who had dementia, was looked after in Sussex by nurses from Zimbabwe who were highly skilled in all sorts of ways, none of which would qualify them to stay in the UK under the proposed points system", said a men called Richard Turner from Beverly (a city in England).

Some of the jobs that could fall below the new immigration threshold are laboratory technicians, healthcare assistants, industrial cleaning occupations, teaching assistants, animal care services, library assistants, hospital porters, school secretaries, waiters/waitress, hairdressers, cooks, among others.

The future is uncertain, only when the new immigration strategy begins, the industries will be able to corroborate if the plan was as effective as the promoters of it promised them that it would be.
