倫敦 — 英國工黨領袖基爾·斯塔默說,他想減少移民,並讓外國人更難住在英國。他希望解決前政府沒有解決好的問題。同時,一個新的反移民政黨正在變強,這可能會影響英國的政治。

史塔默的工黨去年贏得了選舉,但他現在面臨選民的壓力。選民對越來越多的移民感到不滿,他們覺得這對公共服務造成了負擔,並在一些地方引起了族群之間的衝突。

斯塔默說,他會停止「英國邊界管理不善」的情況。這是因為極右政黨在最近的選舉中表現很好,而工黨和保守黨的支持率都下降了。

斯塔默在唐寧街說,新的移民規定會更嚴格,包括工作、家庭和讀書。他說這樣我們就能更好地管理,建立一個可以控制、有選擇性且公平的規定。

移民問題在英國一直都很重要,特別是從2004年歐盟加入東歐國家之後。那時候,大部分歐盟國家不讓新成員國的人來,但英國卻馬上開放讓他們來工作。

在2010年,當時的首相卡梅倫說他會減少每年到英國的移民,讓數字少於十萬人。但是,之後的四個保守黨政府都沒有成功。到了2016年,很多人對政府無法控制從歐盟來的移民感到不滿,這也是英國決定離開歐盟的一個主要原因。

然而,英國脫歐後,來英國工作、讀書或與家人團聚的人數並沒有減少。從2022年年中到2023年年中,來到英國並在這裡住超過一年的人,減掉離開的人,總共有90多萬,比脫歐前多了四倍。這主要是因為很多烏克蘭人和香港人來到英國。到了2024年年中,這個數字降到了72萬8千人。

最近幾年,越來越多人擔心英國政府無法管理邊境。這是因為有數千名移民搭乘人口走私者的小船來到英國。去年,大約有三萬七千人搭乘小船橫渡英吉利海峽。

斯塔默說,他會阻止那些幫助人們非法旅行的犯罪團體,這樣來減少人數。

他也說要大幅減少合法移民,方法是減少給低技能勞工的簽證、要求工作簽證申請人要有較高的薪水,以及提高移民的英文程度要求。

史塔默用了他以前反對的脫歐口號,說他的政府會「控制英國的邊界」。

他說,以前的保守黨政府在人民希望控制邊界時,卻讓邊界完全開放。「從現在開始,情況會改變。」

政府週一宣布,將減少給外國低技能工人的簽證,並停止從國外請護理人員。政府說,這些工作雖然重要但薪水不高,他們希望讓工作條件變好,吸引英國人來做,但還沒說怎麼做。

Care England 的執行長說,請外國人來這裡工作對他們這個行業非常重要。

他說,現在突然取消這項措施,沒有事先通知、沒有錢也沒有其他辦法,這樣做很短視,也很不公平。

斯塔默說,英國經濟的某些部分太過依賴便宜的外國勞工。他說政府會花更多錢來訓練學徒和英國工人。

根據新的規定,大多數移民需要住滿十年才能申請英國公民,現在是五年。如果對英國有很大幫助,而且能很好地融入社會,等待的時間就會短一點。

史塔默說,移民是英國歷史的一部分,但他警告,如果沒有嚴格的規定,英國可能會變成一個充滿陌生人的地方,而不是一個團結的國家。

一些難民組織和工黨議員對斯塔默的說法很不滿,他認為大量移民已經對英國社會造成了很大的傷害。

保守黨的移民發言人克里斯·菲爾普說,工黨的建議不夠好。

他說:「很多人有理由希望不要再有那麼多移民來。」他也建議「國會應該決定每年最多可以有多少移民」。
