UK Home Secretary criticised forcensoring immigration report

Opposition politicians and immigration activists criticised the UK's Home Secretary on 8th August 2013 after she used her powers to redact or censor a report by the country's Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, John Vine.

The shadow immigration minister, Chris Bryant, asked 'what possible reason can there be for redacting elements of a report by a highly-respected independent inspector?' and concluded 'this is a cover-up to hide her own failings.

The leader of the anti-immigration UK Independence Party (UKIP, Nigel Farage, said 'It is extremely concerning that a report into the operations of our border security is being censored by the Home Office. We have to ask them, what on earth are they hiding?'

Immigration responsible for much of UK population growth

Newly released figures show that the UK's population rose by 419,900 in the year to June 2012. Of this rise, about 40% (165,000) was caused by UK immigration and the rest by a baby boom in the UK. But analysis of the figures shows that many of the babies in that baby boom were born to first generation mothers and so immigration is responsible for a considerable proportion of this rise too.


There were 813,200 births over the year. More than 25% of these babies had mothers born outside the UK.

The UK's population rose by more than any other country in Europe over the year to June 2012. Its nearest rival was France where the population rose by 319,000.

Australia: 457 visa holders to be charged for children's schooling

The Western Australian territorial government has announced that it is to charge 457 visa holders a fee of AUS$4,000 per year for every child educated in government-funded schools. The government hopes to raise $120m over four years by introducing the charge.

The Western Australian state government treasurer, Troy Buswell, said that the fee was necessary because the numbers of such children has risen sharply through Australia Study Visa. Mr Buswell said that there were 290 children of 457 visa workers in publicly funded schools in 2005. By 2013, this figure had risen to 8,600; a 29-fold increase.

He said 'the simple growth in numbers has put massive pressure on the education system and by extension, massive pressure on the balance of the taxpayers of Western Australia'.

Immigration To Take Centre Stage At Next UK Election

Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps made a speech on 31st July 2013 which signals that the Conservatives intend to fight the next election as a party that is tough on UK immigration.

The UK now has fixed term parliaments and so the parties know that the next election will be held in June 2015. While this is still nearly two years away, commentators say that Mr Shapps's speech can be seen as 'a drawing of battle lines for the election.

Speaking in London, Mr Shapps said "In opposition, Labour opposed all the [Coalition's] changes to tighten border controls. They've even proposed going further - planning a higher target for UK immigration. So back in government, immigration goes up, bringing new pressure to our public services and fresh strains on health, housing and education."

UK Government Split By Illegal Immigration Ad Campaign

A recent advertising campaign run by the UK's Home Office has caused a public disagreement between senior ministers in the UK's Coalition government. The campaign, which ran for a week and ended on 28th July 2013, was intended to persuade illegal UK immigrants to 'go home'.

The Business Secretary Vince Cable said that the adverts seemed to have been designed 'to create a sense of fear in the British population'. Mr Cable said that Liberal Democrat ministers in the Coalition government had not been consulted about the campaign.

Mr Cable went onto say that the campaign was 'stupid and offensive' and said that he thought that it would be discontinued. Mr Cable said that the country did have a small problem with illegal immigration but said that this should be dealt with 'in a measured way'.
