A LINCOLNSHIRE MP welcomed David Cameron's announcement that immigrants will have to work hard if they intend to live in the UK.
Edward Leigh, who represents Caistor and Market Rasen, spoke out after the announcement that Mr Cameron doesn't want to see the country as a "soft touch" for benefits claimants.
Mr Leigh claimed that the tough reforms already implemented have seen net immigration fall by almost a third.
He said: "After 13 years of open borders under Labour, many people, whether here in Lincolnshire or around the country, are concerned about immigration.
"I welcome the new steps which the Prime Minister has set out to ensure that everyone who comes here pays their way and is able to give something back."
