Campaign against Romanians and Bulgarians: Cameron wants to remove unemployed EU immigrants

David Cameron has been known to be quite outspoken against unwanted immigrants. In a piece for the Financial Times, the British Prime Minister announced plans to only grant immigrants from the EU benefits for the first three months. Immigrants who have not found a job after nine months will be removed. London The Prime Minister of Great Britain, David Cameron, is planning on substantially limiting the access of immigrants to the British welfare system. Newly arrived immigrants should not be able to claim benefits in the first three months if they are not employed, Cameron wrote in his article for the Financial Times. According to the article, there is a limited time of 6 months of being able to claim benefits if there is no prospect of a job. If they are not here for work when they beg and sleep rough then they will be removed, it says in the text. Cameron specifically talks about Romanians and Bulgarians, who will be able to enjoy freedom of movement when looking for jobs in Great Britain starting in 2014. The Prime Minister also wants tighten the requirements immigrants have to meet to be able to claim benefits, similar inspections are

already in place. The European Court has already received a law suit denouncing the unequal treatment of Britons and Non-Britons. The EU Commisioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, Laszlo Andor, accused Cameron of deceiving the public with his remarks. Romanians and Bulgarians only make up a small number of all immigration to Great Britain, Andor told the BBC in an interview, and Britain risked being regarded as a 'mean' country with such a rhetoric.
