SHOULD IMMIGRANTS CARRY OUT COMMUNITY WORK BEFORE BEING GIVEN CITIZENSHIP?


[+] serious ballot by winston
created Sun Mar 04, 07

Immigrants should carry out community work before being granted UK citizenship, Chancellor Gordon Brown has said in a seminar on Britishness. Mr Brown believes this idea would demonstrate to society that migrants are willing to contribute. The chancellor's comments follow his earlier call for immigrants to learn English and for the UK to have a day to celebrate national identity.

Yes, they should carry out community work
No, they should not carry out community work
Not sure
Return all immigrants from whence they came

Sounds like a good idea.

Some will inevitably make a point of defending the immigrants from being forced to do ANYTHING, say it infringes on their human rights.

A scheme such as this is clearly good for the reputation of all immigrants though, and a just payment for the right to reap the rewards of our economy and culture.

Voted : No, they should not carry out community work
Don't see the point. It will not make them any more or less integrated. He was on the right track when he mentioned that it would be useful to learn English, but this is just a tangent.

Voted : Not sure
it depends. as long as it's not severe, like manual labor or something. i guess there's merit to the idea, but only if it's well thought out.

An intersting idea, but some may say this is discrimination (the community work I mean) because it is not demanded of those who are already citizens. I think it could be a good idea because it might ease the immigrants' introduction to the lives and needs of people with whom they will live; immigrants often keep only to their own ethnic group--this may make their transition easier, maybe even enjoyable. As for learning English--I believe this should be made law.
