Smith's goodbye offer: A limit on immigrants allowed to stay

>>
A limit is finally to be placed on the number of non-European Union immigrants allowed to settle permanently in Britain.

In her final act before standing down, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith promised a new points system for those who want to apply for citizenship.

This will be separate from the current points system used to determine who is allowed to come here in the first place.

Incompetent right to the end. Point based systems are great of judging economic contributions - does a person give more than take, and how much does the economy gain. But immigration should be a fundamental decision, and numbers have no meaning there. Earning by the right things, yes, but earning by paying x thousand pounds in taxes, that is ridiculous.

Well, at least there is a good chance that it will not last very long.

If you think Ministers of State are responsible for making government policy you are very wrong.
