Pro-Brexit campaigners say immigrants "must have good English"

Migrants hoping to gain access to a post-Brexit Britain will have to be able to prove their English level, among other conditions, the leave campaign has said.

Lead Conservative campaigners and members of David Cameron's cabinet Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Priti Patel have released a statement which outlines their plans for a British exit from the European Union.

The trio claim that their Australian style points system will create a fair chance for EU citizens and commonwealth countries.

"Those seeking entry for work or study should be admitted on the basis of their skills without discrimination on the ground of nationality," the joint statement read."To gain the right to work, economic migrants will have to be suitable for the job in question. For relevant jobs, we will be able to ensure that all those who come have the ability to speak good English.”

Australia currently employs a points-based entry system for immigrants, based on various criteria such as age, occupation, English level and various markers related to qualifications and experience.

"By the next general election we will create a points-based immigration system. The automatic right of all EU citizens to come and live and work in the UK will end, as will EU control over vital aspects of our social security system."

Irish citizens will not be affected by the changes as they will be able to move freely into the UK. There had been concerns that Ireland may become an alternative route in for those seeking residence.

Another pro-Brexit campaigner on the Labour end has referred to Britain's membership of the EU not allowing for a consensual immigration policy.

Gisela Stuart said that "the single market means automatic massive free movement of labour, the current immigration policy does not have the consent of the people".

The leave campaign will take to the road on Wednesday in order to convince the British population of the benefits of abandoning the EU on the 23rd June.

Although their campaign acknowledges the enrichment of Britain in various social and economic aspects caused by immigration, the lack of control over the matter does not allow the country to flourish.

Remain supporters argue that the proposal would eliminate Britain from the single market, putting the economy under increased pressure and perhaps in turn forcing more immigration.
