Public wants much harsher immigration policy, says poll

Ipsos MORI interviewed a representative sample of 975 adults aged 18 and over by telephone on behalf of the Sunday Times between 11 and 13 August 2006. Data are weighted to match profile of population


THE public wants far tougher immigration policies, an Ipsos Mori poll for The Sunday Times has found, writes Isabel Oakeshott.
The research reveals that opinion on immigration is hardening dramatically, with three-quarters of the population calling for far stricter limits on immigrant numbers.
Almost half the population has serious doubts that allowing foreigners to settle in Britain is good for the country.
In a striking finding, women of all ages appear to be particularly hostile to the number of foreigners settling in the UK — with many deeply sceptical that it is benefiting Britain.
The poll covered a range of political issues, including attitudes to the prime minister, support for Gordon Brown, the chancellor, and the extent to which the main party leaders are tainted by “spinâ€

William,the poll is from 2 years ago

So ?


How do you think attitudes have changed in that two years ?

I wonder why it is women who are more against immigration ?

If anything,they've hardened.

I think the difference in attitudes between men & women in relation to immigration could be partly due to the fact that women are more sociotrophic & therefore more sensitive to the social aspects of immigration ,for instance the perceived lack of social cohesion,increase in crime,community disintegration etc as opposed to men who tend to focus more on the economic impact of immigration

I also have to point out that we are not certain whether the stated survey was methodologically sound & the result valid

seems like they are well on their way to some pretty draconian measures...

American-born stepdaughter, 15, faces deportation from UK after residency application is rejected

A British businessman has accused the Home Office of trying to destroy his family in an astonishing row over the deportation of his 15-year-old stepdaughter.

American-born teenager Camille Beutler has been ordered to leave the country after the UK authorities rejected her application for residency.

But to comply with the order the grammar school girl will have to leave both her parents and three siblings behind. The teenager has until today to inform the Home Office of her travel arrangements and has been threatened with jail and a £2,500 fine if she refuses to go.

So the family faces the prospect of being split in two until a solution can be found.

Her American mother Lee-Ann Korpal, 37, may have to travel back to the United States to live with Camille as they have no other living relatives there.

But that will mean leaving husband Nick, 45, and their three children behind as he does not have a work permit for the US and the family want to remain over here.

Mr Korpal and his three young children all have British passports, but his wife and stepdaughter Camille only have a US passport and have had to apply for residency.

Applications by both mother and daughter were turned down. And although Mrs Korpal has been given permission to appeal, her teenage daughter has not and must go immediately.

A letter sent by the Home Office to Camille stated there were "no insurmountable obstacles to your family life being continued overseas."

The family has now hired a lawyer and enlisted the help of their local MP in a bid to prevent the family being torn apart.
