UK BLOCK ON MIGRATION – Theresa May pledged to reduce immigrants

British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday that her party will keep its pledge to reduce immigration to Britain “up to a few tens of thousands” a year if it wins the parliamentary elections in June.

As she said, “we will continue to say that we want to reduce migration to sustainable levels. We believe that this number is a few tens of thousands “.

“Of course, once we leave the European Union, we will have the opportunity to ensure that we have the control of our borders because we will be able to set our own rules for people coming to the United Kingdom from the EU,” she noted.

Although the reduction of immigration is a commitment of the Conservative party since 2010, this target has so far not been achieved.

According to official statistics, 273,000 people came to Britain from September 2015 to September 2016, which is a decreased amount of 49,000 compared to the previous year and the lowest rate recorded since the year ending at the end of June 2014.
