Calls for Further Referendum on Brexit Ruled Out

Mr. Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader has ruled out the possibility of another referendum on UK’s membership of European Union. He said that the vote made to Leave in June has to be respected and UK cannot change its stand now.  At the same time, there are some Labour and Lib Dem MPs who have stated that they will resist starting formal Brexit talks unless ministers assure a subsequent vote on the final deal.

Mr Miliband also called for restrictions on freedom of movement rules in the United Kingdom.  Furthermore, the government is appealing against a High Court ruling that states about seeking the approval of Parliament before it triggers Article 50 – the system through which member states exit from the EU.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said that his party will not ask to “frustrate” the Article 50 process but many of his MPs have decided to go against it if there is voting for same in the House of Commons in early 2017.  Although he supported calls for a parliamentary vote on Article 50, Mr. Ed Miliband mentioned that he did not agree with MPs threats to withhold their support unless some conditions were met. Although he sympathises with the 48% of the Remain voters who were angry and frustrated by the Brexit voting result, he mentioned that the result has to be respected and cannot be changed now.

Healthy Immigration from European Union Positively Impacts UK Economy

Healthy Migration has worked favourably for UK economy in the past years. European migrants have always seen UK as a sustainable economy with potential opportunities for professional growth and better quality of life.

It’s just not the migrants who are benefited but the host also get various benefits in terms of skilled professionals and greater taxes. In a recent research conducted by the UCL Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM), European migrants who have arrived in UK since 2000 have contributed more than £20bn to the government coffers. The figure has substantially helped the government in relieving the fiscal burden along with contributing to the financing of public services. 

The report reveals that over a period of 2001-2011, European immigrants from the EU-15 countries contributed 64% more in taxes than they received in benefits. Immigrants from the Central and East European ‘accession’ countries (the ‘A10’) contributed 12% more than they received. 

Apart from the benefit the country has made in terms of taxes, these immigrants have endowed the country with highly skilled and productive human capital that would have cost UK a whopping £6.8bn in spending on education. The numbers are the strong indicators of the positive impact which a balanced immigration could bring to UK making it a competitive and progressing nation in the world.

Trends of Immigration in the UK

UK Immigration consultants - Fusco Browne

The notion that United Kingdom is a predominantly attractive destination for many international migrants has been a regular subject of policy and media debates. Between September 2010 and September 2014, an approximate yearly average of 478,000 non-British citizens came to the UK with intention of staying for at least 12 months. Correspondingly, each year, an average of 190,000 non-British nationals left UK. They intended to stay away for at least 12 months in the same period. This implies that there was net migration of 288,000 non-British citizens on average.

Economic and labour market forces are the major drivers of international migration. In the UK, labour market is considered to be an important attraction for migrants who are from the EU as also the non-EU countries. With economic growth and need for specialists in certain occupations, the demand for people with varied skill-sets increases.

UKimmigration consultants affirm that existing family and community networks in the country also encourage more migration. Such networks can facilitate job search and reduce the costs of housing and childcare. 

The national language of the UK – English - also plays a pivotal role. Its ubiquity as a second language and prime business language in most countries is thought to be a crucial factor in many people’s decisions to select the UK as their destination.

Lastly, the globally popular colleges and universities of the UK have become an important reason for migration.

Understanding the Difference between a Refugee, Migrant and an Asylum Seeker

Immigration Law Firms UK - Fusco Browne

The terms ‘Refugee’, ‘Migrant’ and ‘Asylum Seeker’ may have been used interchangeably all this while, however, there are many important distinctions between these terms. This means that all these three terms carry different legal obligations and most be applied for cautiously.

Refugee

Put basically, a Refugee is an individual escaping outfitted clash or abuse because of their race, religion, nationality or enrolment in a specific social gathering. A refugee case is made on the premise of apprehension of abuse. An example would be those as of late seen crossing the Mediterranean from Libya and Sudan, which are severe and war-torn states constraining individuals to leave their nations.

Migrant

A Migrant decides to move with a specific end goal to look for a superior life, - for instance, by looking for some kind of employment, contemplating or being closer to family and so forth, in a nation outside of their nation of source. In understanding to International Law, the state has an obligation to offer assurance to a refugee, yet there is no such obligation owed to the Migrant.

Asylum Seeker

An asylum seeker is somebody who has approached the legislature for displaced person status and is holding up to hear the result of his or her application. Under the European Union, an exile's application for refuge must be made in the nation where they first arrive. On the off chance that an outcast tries to make an application somewhere else, they can quickly be sent back to the first nation of landing.
