Exclamation Low Skill Chinese Workers Demand Right to Break Immigration Law

Low-skilled Chinese restaurant workers and their employers have demanded the right to break the newly introduced “skilled points” immigration system introduced by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith last week.

Chinese restaurants in London may have to close as a result of new immigration laws, business owners have warned. At a London meeting they said a Chinese labour shortage would be made worse by new rules which limit the entry of low skilled workers from outside the EU.

Chinese Immigration Concern Committee spokesman Jabez Lam said the situation could bring about a “meltdown of the Chinese economy” in Britain.

The Chinese Immigration Concern Committee said this would prevent numerous restaurant workers from China coming to the UK.

On Monday hundreds of Chinese business owners gathered at Friends Meeting House in Euston, central London, to protest against the new rules.



They said it would exacerbate labour shortages already experienced by Chinese businesses in London.

The Chinese Immigration Concern Committee is asking Home Secretary Jacqui Smith to reconsider the immigration rule changes, with its members sending her a petition written on rice bowls.

A Home Office spokesman said the new immigration system did not specifically target workers from China. “Our objective is to manage migration in the national interest, striking the right balance between safeguarding the interests of the UK resident workforce and enabling UK employers to recruit or transfer skilled people from abroad in order to help them compete effectively in an international market,” she said.

The reality is that even this system is inadequate and a betrayal of the millions of unskilled native British job seekers. Instead of investing millions in schemes to import “skilled” foreigners, the government should be investing in education schemes designed to provide native Britons with the skills to fill all positions in society. Only e a BNP government would have the necessary willpower - and commitment to the putting British people first - to carry out such a policy.
