If you can't speak English then what use are you in a job over here? If you can't hold down a job then you become yet another leach.

If they have a guaranteed job to come to and the employer is willing to 'sponsor' them in a similar way to how Australia works, or if they can demonstrate sufficient monies in their account etc. then fine, I guess. If they can support themselves...

Yes it should be done here,vocational english should be a must.
Enough said before i start ranting! I don't recall my friends who emigrated to live in Crete having to have a working knowledge of the language, though they have picked it up since.

Reminds me of a question - Which country has the most English speaking population? Answer ... There are more people in China that speak English than any other country!

I think immigrants need more than just a grasp of the language if we are to let them in the country.....
...something useful maybe, certain medical qualifications and the likes.
There is a programme at noon today on Radio 4 on this topic
