Britain’s Tough New Stand on Immigration

The decision to leave the European Union has already shown that Britain is no longer willing to accommodate non-nationals in its political territory. Since Brexit and the resignation of Mr. David Cameron as the Prime Minister of Britain, a number of government officials have talked about the new, tougher laws that will now control immigration.

This is not restricted to immigration from European countries. In early October this year, UK had also unveiled plans to further its crackdown on immigration through "work and study routes" from non-EU countries. It is a move that can make it difficult for British firms to hire their workforce from countries such as India. Home Secretary Amber Rudd specified at the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham that she will look at different options to reduce migration. This means that the work for immigration lawyers in London and in other areas of Britain is more challenging. To help their clients in legal migration, they need to put in extra efforts.

Meanwhile, former cabinet minister Peter Lilley also told a BBC programme that Britain is the sole authority to decide how it will manage its borders and immigration is not a matter for dialogue with the rest of EU.

The country however does need talented people who can contribute to its economy and non-nationals serious about settling in the UK for legal reasons can discuss their options with experienced immigration experts. 

3 benefits of an Immigration employment culture

Immigrants prove to be a good pool of labour whether it is for a small business or an already established name. They come to UK for various reasons like uniting with the family, study or even for employment opportunities and further growth prospects.

Hiring immigrants can prove to be tough and lengthy task but has its own advantages which make it a good and viable proposition for many businesses:

Easy and reduced labour costs:

A major advantage of hiring immigrants is that you may be able to lower your labour costs. One of he major reasons immigrants come to UK is in the search of netter employment opportunities and a higher standard of living, available in their native countries. As a result, they may be willing to work for a lower wage than people who were born and raised in the UK. Already the healthcare professionals from European and other nations provide a great example of the case, strengthening the NHS simultaneously.

Workforce Diversity:

Hiring immigrants can help you diversify your workforce. In a time when hiring practices are closely scrutinized, hiring immigrants can help keep your business on the right side of anti-discrimination laws. By diversifying your workforce, you may also gain broader perspective and knowledge supplied by people from different cultures.

Business Expansion:

If you're looking to expand your business into a foreign market or an immigrant culture in the United States, hiring immigrants can be of great value from a marketing standpoint.

An immigrant from an African nation would be a better candidate to hire for the company if planning to target the African audience.
