Boris Johnson: immigration amnesty

Boris Johnson: immigration amnesty


Well it seems that London Mayor Boris Johnson is considering allowing Illegal Immigrants to be able to live inside the UK. Boris Johnson states "that if they can make a contribution to society then they should be allowed the chance to live inside the UK". This would be rather unimportant when looking at the number of unemployment of UK citizens, who are trying to compete for jobs as it is. Then the question must be asked why bring in more people to the country to make even more problems for current citizens.


Just like the United States who are also suffering heavily with over 4.4 million people who have been made unemployed this year alone and think should it not be first priority to make sure you can settle this problem first before worrying about people coming from abroad to find work. Boris Johnson has already allowed full British citizenship to immigrants and also considering given it to illegal immigrants as well. It seems that by doing this it will be showing just how lapse we are at allowing anyone to come and live in the UK illegally. This idea by the Mayor of London has not been backed by both current government and the Conservative Party. Yet 93 party members have backed this idea as being worthwhile.


Johnson claims that he is making sure that those who are coming into this country are legitimate. He declared that he would make sure they have no criminal record or for wrong reasons and that if this becomes and increasing problems then they would have to look at the public policy and tighten the boarder of allowing people to make it into the country illegally. It is reported that there are over 725,000 immigrants in the UK at the moment who are living illegally.


It would be fair to say it is more of the fact that he is under pressure to perform many major benefits for London. This would include helping to allow more senior woman become part of top businesses, to crack down on people losing jobs and also trying to help more developments within the city.
