Only EU migrants earning in excess of £30,000 will be allowed to live in Britain under tight new rules post Brexit. Home office officials, under the guidance of Home Secretary Sajid Javid, are set to announce the new immigration rules in a government paper this week. EU citizens will no longer enjoy easy access to the Uk under the new rules which will do little to assist already tough Brexit negotiations. while giving the UK the skills it needs.
The new rules will fit into the ideals of hard core Brexitiers, but probably do little to improve what will be a struggling economy if a no deal Brexit results, or if Britain crashes out of the EU with an unsatisfactory deal. The timing of the announcement may also be poor judgement, but is a response to the very ridiculous cards being dealt by EU president Jean Claude Juncker and his team of European bullies, determined to punish Britain for leaving the EU.
The present climate between Britain and the EU is extremely tense, with the domestic situation in British politics deteriorating everyday. Freedom of movement will be over by December 2020, highlighting a clear divide leading to a newly structured world. Home Secretary, Mr Javid is also determined to sharply cut net migration from the EU to 10,000 by 2025.
The number of “medium-skilled” immigrants is expected to fall from 18,500 to 4,500. People in this category must earn at least £30,000-per-year. Highly-skilled migrants will be cut from anywhere in the word, with the number of EU workers falling by at least 5,000 in the first year. The radical plans will not only mean that only the very best EU workers will reside in the Uk, but also their family members will have a hard time visiting them because of the intense scrutiny that will naturally follow. EU countries will respond in kind without a doubt, making relations between the Uk and the EU more hostile than presently foreseen.
Several Mps have been pushing for a second referendum, but Downing Street has been adamant that no second referendum will take place. The political climate is unpredictable at the moment , nothing clear on the future at the moment.
