BRITISH CITIZENSHIP FOR 200,000 IMMIGRANTS Friday, 28th May 2010 More than 200,000 immigrants became British citizens last year according to the Office for National Statistics. The figure marks a 58% rise in the number of citizenships handed out to foreigners compared to 2008 stats and the highest number of new citizenships given away since records began. Further evidence of the failed immigration policies of the past 15 years comes as the Con-Dem coalition government carries on where Labour left off – making noises about cutting immigration while ignoring the huge problem of incomers from the EU. In the Queen’s speech delivered on Tuesday, the new government announced a cap on non-EU immigration – but did not say what the cap would be, and did not touch on any ways to stem the tide of immigrants coming from the EU. And in a separate development, thousands of Bosnians and Albanians could be on their way to Britain after the EU announced that it would end visa restrictions on travel to and from the two Balkan states. While 3.1m Albanians and 3.7m Bosnians have not yet been granted full EU rights to roam, the lifting of visa restrictions is a huge step forward for both countries, which are set to become EU member states despite continuing problems with institutionalised corruption. <http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/177678> Read more about the 200,000 foreigners granted British citizenship last year <http://www.worldbulletin.net/news_detail.php?id=59145> Read more about Albania and Bosnia’s march towards EU membership <http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news> Back to Latest News
