British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged immigration levels will be cut if he wins the general Brexit election on Thursday.
Mr Johnson referenced Australia's immigration system as guide for his own government,and guaranteed to place restrictions on Britain's intake, after it leaves the European Union. The British Prime Minister said he can "make sure that numbers come down" if the Tories win a majority in the general election.
The European Union allowed citizens to have free movement to live and work in any member nations, however Mr Johnson claimed contribution should be contained in the country. Mr Johnson insisted he was "not hostile to immigration" and was happy to welcome people "if they have talents" and if they can "contribute to our country". Image: Getty
