A recent report from the Migration Advisory Committee found, on the contrary, that EU migration has had a positive impact on many aspects of society.

May’s speech was aimed for the small group of eurosceptic Conservative MPs led by Jacob Rees-Mogg and a powerful minority of Labour MPs (some on the frontbench) who like to believe EU workers have “stolen British jobs” and undercut wages. They are struggling to shield their children from the negative trickle down effects of the protracted uncertainty on their legal status in Britain (a sentiment shared by British nationals living in continental Europe). The impact of the CBI speech on her and hundreds of thousands of children in families with at least one parent born in a EU member state other than the UK is collateral damage in May’s desperate attempt to woo the anti-immigration lobby as she tries to get her Brexit deal through the parliament.Īs the research carried out by my colleagues and I is showing, families with non-UK EU citizens feel anxious, devalued and disempowered by the Brexit negotiation process. The speech Theresa May gave to business group the CBI, in which she said that a new post-Brexit immigration system would stop EU migrants from “jumping the queue” ahead of migrants from non-EU countries, had somehow reached her, probably not the prime minister’s target audience. “Daddy, have we done something wrong?” she added.Īfter a moment of puzzlement, I joined the dots. You must wait for your turn when it comes to speaking in circle time or being served food.

One of the things drummed into her very early on at school was that you don’t jump the queue. She’s also learning about how we share with others and behave in class. She’s learning a lot of fascinating things at the moment, about planets, robots, rockets and space exploration. “Daddy, have we jumped the queue?” She looked at me with her big inquisitive eyes, a little confused and worried.
