UK ministers spoke of hiring “British citizens first” and of deporting
“EU criminals” on the third day of a Tory party conference in Birmingham on
Tuesday (4 October).
Amber Rudd, the home secretary, said she would get immigration down to
just tens of thousands of people a year because that was the “clear message” of
what British people wanted from the Brexit referendum.
She said she would “ensure people coming here are filling gaps in the
labour market, not taking jobs British people could do”.
“I want us to look again at whether our immigration system provides the
right incentives for businesses to invest in British workers”, she
said.
