Labour's Migration Policy: A Deep Dive
Brexit and the End of Free Movement
With the UK's departure from the European Union, the free movement of people between the two regions has come to an end. This has had a significant impact on the UK's immigration policy, with the government introducing a points-based system for skilled workers and a separate system for low-skilled workers.
Labour's Proposed Changes
The Labour Party has announced plans to reform the UK's immigration policy if it wins the next general election. These plans include:
- Introducing a "fairer, more humane" asylum system
- Ending the current rules allowing companies to pay migrant workers less than their UK counterparts
- Reducing net migration to "sustainable levels"
Labour's plans have been met with criticism from some quarters, with some arguing that they would be too restrictive.
The Impact of Labour's Proposals
The impact of Labour's proposed changes to immigration policy is difficult to predict. It is likely that they would lead to a reduction in the number of migrants coming to the UK, but it is unclear what the impact of this would be on the economy or society.
