永居门槛延至10年、毕业生签证缩水,英国为何竖起“移民高墙”?
Di Yi Cai Jing· 2025-05-16 03:27
根据英国政府本周发布的一份长达80页的移民政策白皮书,英国将通过多种措施减少移民数量,例如收 紧签证发放标准,提高技能与英语要求,将永居申请所需的合法居留年限从5年延长至10年。 英国首相斯塔默(Keir Starmer)在发布会上措辞激进,称没有严格的改革,英国恐将成为充满"陌生 人"的孤岛。 尽管历届政府都试图控制移民规模,但根据英国政府数据,过去两年净移民仍分别高达90.6万和72.8万 人,远超预期。本月初,主张强硬移民政策的改革党在英格兰地方选举中大获全胜,反映出民意转向。 牛津大学马丁学院创始院长、世界银行前副行长戈尔丁(Ian Goldin)近期对第一财经记者表示,经济 压力助长了排外情绪,本地民众更容易"缺乏足够安全感",因此助长了反移民等右翼民粹主义倾 向。"他们认为,如果树立高墙,并有更多保护措施,就能阻止自己陷入风险。"他称,"但如果不解决 根源问题,就很难阻止这股趋势。我们必须创建一个更加包容的社会,创造更多就业机会,让生活成本 降低,减少公共卫生危机等这些根本性的问题,才能让民众产生对全球化的信任。" 聘用外籍雇员的成本上升 根据白皮书,英国移民政策的一项关键变化是将获得永居权的时间 ...

500 万移民无投票权 在背井离乡前,母亲从未有过这种感觉:她需要比别人更努力、做得更多,她感到自己这样的人所受待遇与其他人格格不入。看着母亲的生活,很容易让我 感到愤懑,因为她不得不付出这么多努力来证明自己值得在这方水土拥有立锥之地。她要么利用休假时间在红十字会工作,要么坚定地挨家挨户收集资料, 支持2021年的英国政府人口普查工作。当人们当着她的面关上门时,她仍然尽职尽责地表达感激之情。在这个国家,她是500万没有投票权的移民之一。 初到英国时,母亲曾担任幼儿教师,如今成为一名校车司机,她一直从事着与当地社区紧密相连、带有服务性质的工作。她总是认为,自己必须回馈英国社 会,并经常告诫我:"你必须心怀感激。" 来这里以后,她养成了最典型的英国人特质——彬彬有礼,对小恩小惠也说"谢谢"。如果政府工作人员因为她浓重的口音让她复述一遍,她仍然会微笑着感 激他们的工作。在英国的岁月仿佛一笔压在她身上的债务,一份她必须涌泉相报的恩惠。即使在我被英国房东赶出公寓时,尽管他们威胁要把花瓶砸到我头 上,母亲却仍然建议我"留下一份感恩礼物"。看来,她过于渴望表达感激,甚至盖过她的理智判断。在医院病房里,我看到英国人是如何依赖 ...
