The British Prime Minister David Cameron has asserted that the Coalition government would live up to what has been promised by them in the form of immigration cap. According to the official statistics, in the last one year, companies have brought in about thousands of software engineers, care assistants and chefs. This was done despite the same skills being possessed by about innumerable local British people.

Theresa May, the Home Secretary would soon be releasing the first annual limit for immigration which would be implemented from April 2011. She would also shed light on the number of workers that businesses would be permitted to bring in especially from the non European countries in 2011-12. It is also being anticipated for her to speak on on other groups such as those of students and families and implementing controls on them as well.

According to Mr. Cameron, if looked at the bigger picture, immigration between UK and other nations of the European Union are more or less in balance. However, when it comes to immigration between Britain and the other nations of the world, it is not exactly in balance with more and more people coming to UK.

If the official figures are to be believed, foreign workers were being recruited for jobs despite thousands of local people are suited for the same jobs and are unemployed. It was observed that company sponsorship certificates in the previous year were brought about to cater to 1,700 care assistants who came from nations other than those of EU.

On the other hand, the government figures project that in the previous month, the nation has over 33,000 local residents dependent on Jobseekers Allowance and had mentioned their occupation description as care assistants.

Similarly, over 4,500 software professionals were mentioned on the JSA last month when over 1,000 software professionals were brought about from countries outside the European Union. Another 2,200 chefs and cooks came about last year when there are almost 12,000 chefs already unemployed in the nation.

The above clearly shows the lack of efficient control when it comes to immigration and thus is leading to more unemployment rather than catering to the growth of the economy.
