Rejected petition REDUCE Immigration (Allow selected people in)

More details

We need to stop people coming into the UK who do not benefit our society. Un-employment is at a high while we allow more and more people in. They can not get jobs, we can not get jobs. Its putting more and more strain on the government that waste money on benefits for people without jobs (many of which shouldn't be here).

Immigration should be reduced and only selected people should be able to get in (i.e. if they already have a been given a job in the UK). Countries like the USA already use this kind of system.
