    I know of 2 ICTs who have recently gained their citizenship.

    I dont think it specifically relates to people who wish to settle if thats what you mean.

    Immigration law in the UK seems to cover migrant workers also, including ICT.
    I have lost 2 jobs to Bobs in the last 5 years and I will lose number again by the next election.

    Nothing will change.

    Nope.

    Also, the ones abusing the ICT scheme are not immigrants, for the most part, either.

    started a topic ICT abusers about to get a good dusting?

    ICT abusers about to get a good dusting?

    From the Telegraph today:
    Linky

    Theresa May will stand firm amid calls from some Cabinet colleagues for a rethink on the annual limit to insist the Tory manifesto pledge will go ahead.

    A temporary limit on some migrant workers will be imposed with almost immediate effect while a consultation is carried out on how a more permanent cap can bring about significant reductions in migrant numbers.

    It comes after the plan was criticised by some business leader who fear it will make it harder for them to recruit the necessary skilled staff.


    A total of 190,640 foreign workers and dependants moved to Britain last year, despite unemployment hitting 2.5 million.
    It emerged earlier this month that more than 1.1 million jobs, half the total created under Labour, were taken by immigrants who could have been refused work permits.
    The non-EU migrants were handed the work permits despite there being hundreds of thousands of Britons out of work.


    A report by Migrationwatch, a think tank, revealed this month that Labour's points-based system on immigration, which was supposed to cut migrant workers by 12 per cent, had actually led to tens of thousands more being let in.
    Chairman Sir Andrew Green said yesterday: "The Government have, to their credit, made a clear commitment to getting net immigration down to tens of thousands.
    "It was always inevitable that those with a financial interest in high levels of immigration would squawk.
    "I am sure that the Government realises that the public have spoken clearly at the last election and they have a mandate to get the job done."
    feckin Labour!
