Leader of Britain™s opposition Labour Party has pledged to curb immigration from non-EU applicants with low-skills as the top three parties™ anti-immigrant policies get closer together.
Speaking on national television on Sunday, Ed Miliband said, setting limitations on the number of immigrants coming from outside the EU is a top priority in Labour™s plans in a likely future government.
His plans to filter out applications of migrants who possess low-skills or poor education come amid the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government™s crude œGo Home or Face Arrest” advertisements, targeting illegal immigrants at migration support centers and on vans in Britain™s main cities.
The controversial scheme, which would see large firms training any low-skilled non-EU recruited worker as an apprentice, has been criticized by the Conservatives.
The leading party in the coalition government claims Labour™s proposed apprenticeship scheme would be against the EU law.
The European Commission has banned preferential treatment toward giving jobs to a member country™s own citizens.
On September 13, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said the two parties in the coalition government as well as Labour are œvirtually indistinguishable neoliberal parties” as the three parties™ policies merge together as Britain approaches the 2015 election.
The plans by Miliband come amid a wave of posters going up around migration reporting centers in Glasgow and west London urging immigrants to leave, which are deemed to affect people seeking to settle in the UK on a personal level.
The posters are part of the Home Office™s anti-immigration campaign, which has already seen vans drive around London with the message œgo home or face arrest”.
