While the United States is looking to loosen up immigration laws to create an easier path to citizenship, the United Kingdom seems to be heading in the opposite direction.

The Immigration bill published by the UK government on Thursday is said to make it easier to get rid of undocumented immigrants and to prevent them from being able to have access to services -- such as healthcare -- funded by the state.

Even more invasive, tenants and landlords are now required to check the immigration status of tenants. Undocumented immigrants also won't be able to have access to bank accounts.

British Immigration Minister Mark Harper said in a statement this week that the UK wants a more fair system.

"The Immigration Bill will stop migrants abusing public services to which they are not entitled, reduce the pull factors which draw illegal immigrants to the U.K. and make it easier to remove people who should not be here,"  he said.

One of the top concerns with the new system is that it will not only make it more difficult for landlords to have to check all tenants but that it may turn away foreign people who they may suspect are undocumented. Furthermore, people may be turned away from the idea of living in the UK due to such strict tightening up of the immigration system.

Prime Minister David Cameron seeks to trim down on the immigrants entering Britain. His administration is hoping to bring down the numbers from 176,000 people last year to under 100,000.
