Australia and Canada have had a policy of choosing who they allow into their countries for years long before the current situation in Britain, why should we be any different?
As far as I know any illegal immigrants can be returned to the country they have just arrived from.
It has just been stated how many £millions has been passed to Rwanda to accommodate"refugees" who land on Britains shores illegally.
While I have pity for their plight, we cannot continue to accommodate the high numbers arriving, even people here with visas legally cannot expect whole families to be accomodated, unless they are earning enough to provide for them, without extra burden to the public purse.
One interesting statement made by the Rwandan Opposition person Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza said during her interview on the BBC Hardtalk last night was
The Rwandan people are already living through hard times and of course they would resent any refugees being given sanctuary sent from Britain ( paraphrased )
Worth a look at the programme " Hardtalk" on BBC Iplayer

I agree with immigration controls because you simply cannot fit a quart into a pint pot - BUT to allow people to spend a fortune on Visas for 2.5 years, set up roots and occupations, and then cut them off is obscene. There are other ways to control immigration that are more reasonable.

People across the UK could see foreign partners told to leave the country the next time their visa comes up for renewal if their household does not earn £38,700, No 10 has said.

I guess PM Richard Sunak's wife will be OK then.
I am assuming that a new ruling is for the future Job seekers with dependants, otherwise the likes of the NHS will collapse all together!
Would be interesting as to which jobs with a salary of £38,700 are available and with what degree of skill they entail.

I just read this in the news,
NEW Tory immigration plans intended to cut the number of migrants by 300,000 a year could risk splitting up families already living in the UK.

People across the UK could see foreign partners told to leave the country the next time their visa comes up for renewal if their household does not earn £38,700, No 10 has said.

Home Secretary James Cleverly (below) announced a number of policies designed to cut migration figures earlier this week.
