The government is expected to reveal plans to admit up to two thousand migrant workers from the Calais Jungle to help construct HS2.
Prospective workers will be assessed on their skills, and those selected will be put to work to help the already controversial HS2 project become a reality.
Phase One of the construction from London to the West Midlands is expected to be completed 18 months ahead of schedule, largely due to the immigrants’ hard work. In return they will be granted housing, and will be offered British citizenship on completion of Phase Two, which will link the Midlands to Leeds and Manchester.
When questioned about it being tantamount to slavery, Prime Minister Teresa May dismissed the claims stating:
“Everyone knows foreigners work much harder then the English. If this was slavery then we wouldn’t be both paying and accommodating the migrants, let alone awarding them full British citizenship.”
Work on HS2 is due to start in 2017, with the first batch of immigrants being let in just before Christmas 2016 to let them get settled and begin filling in their benefits applications.
