Theresa May told to place a five-year ban on unskilled migrants

In a bid to reduce immigration to the tens of thousands, a new strategy has been proposed to the Prime Minister to enable her hit the proposed target.

The proposal states that the UK government should introduce a five-year freeze on unskilled migrants into the country, and also enforce a 50, 000 cap on immigration annually on new arrivals coming into the Britain.

According to the advocate of the proposals, known as Leave Means Leave, the strategy if adopted will go a long way in helping to reduce migration to the level it was in the 90s.

The group, backed by former Cabinet ministers as well as 15 Tory MPs, says Brexit provides a “golden opportunity” to curtail immigration at last.

Though this new measure is being targeted against migrants who have no skills coming from other EU nations, as they make about 80 percent of people coming into the UK.

The blueprint for “fair” immigration has been drawn up by former UKIP leadership candidate Steven Woolfe.

He wants to see the introduction of a “British working visa system” and have Parliament vote each year on a figure for net migration.

This is coming after so many Leave supporters expressed their anger against the PM’s statement last, which says that freedom of movement into the UK may continue after 2019 into an “implementation period” after leaving in 2019.

“It won’t mean pulling up the drawbridge as we will continue to encourage the best and the brightest to migrate and settle here.

“But by introducing strict controls, an annual cap and a five-year freeze on unskilled migrants, it will reduce net migration year on year, lessen the strain on our public services and help build a more cohesive society”.

He further said that only those who already have jobs in the UK with a salary of not less than £35,000, passed an English test, signed a five-year private health insurance contract, with prove of sufficient money in the bank should be granted visa.

He also included in his proposals a combined work visa and an Australian style points system that will help to determine the yearly immigration need for different parts and sectors in the UK.

Moreover, he advised the government not to give any special preference to EU nationals in their Brexit negotiation.

Suggesting that those living here in the UK should be given the right to stay, while all those who came into the country after Article 50 was triggered in March 29, should not be given same rights.

The report says there should be no cap on highly skilled workers, entrepreneurs, investors or those in the highly skilled top category, or restrictions on students.
