Internationale Studenten werden gewarnt, Großbritannien zu verlassen, sobald Visa endet

>International students will recieve a text that states: “If you submit an asylum claim that lacks merit, it will be swiftly and robustly refused. Any request for asylum support will be assessed against destitution criteria. If you do not meet the criteria, you will not receive support.

Let’s remind every international student they have the right to claim asylum. Brilliant policy.

Why is this the best policy out of curiosity?

Particularly if people are in highly skilled fields – don’t we want them here in the UK?

Particularly as we know there is a demographic crisis that can’t be solved easily without migration (without serious measures to encourage people to have children)?

I don’t get this. Surely this is crafty students exploiting a loophole?

My wife was on a student visa but has family here. She wanted to go back home after finishing her masters, planned to, but then met me and didn’t want to leave me, so we got married. She pays a lot of tax, plus all the fees she has to pay for her visa, NHS surcharges too despite paying tax and NI already, and never really going to the doctor (hardy soul). So she’s very much a net contributor.

So are many students really pulling this trick? And how are they getting away with it?

If it’s a loophole that is being exploited, it very much needs closing. It isn’t „right wing“ to suggest this either, like I say I’m married to an immigrant, her family are immigrants, we all work hard, and I’m very left wing (of the „correct“ variety) and it isn’t right-wing/racist to suggest people shouldn’t be exploiting loopholes which working people (natives and legal immigrants alike) have to pay for.
