Foreign workers could be barred from entering UK: Jacqui Smith's aim 'to put British workers first' reflects impact of economic downturn (Alan Travis, 2/22/09, guardian.co.uk)

New measures to bar tens of thousands of foreign workers from outside Europe coming to work in Britain as the recession bites deeper were outlined by the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, today.

The package includes possible moves to prevent the families of skilled migrants working in Britain and restricting skilled migrants to taking jobs only in occupations with shortages.

It represents a significant tightening of the new Australian-style points-based immigration system only four months after its introduction last November in the face of mounting "British jobs for British workers" protests and fears that the far-right British National Party, will win seats for the first time in June's European elections.

Depending on the native British work ethic is a sure way to put yourself in a depression.
