Personally, the caps on tier 1 & 2 is going to hurt the higher education sector. It will definitely make it less competitive on the world stage. Academics do not get paid anywhere near what is required by the new rules and caps on sponsored workers means that less will apply.

and in my very humble opinion, the caps are merely a smokescreen to cover up the net migration of EU workers. It makes nice headlines to target the ones they can control.

Hello, given you're escapades on new year day/night, I hope you'll show leniency in having me banned. TIA. :cool:

I don't quite see what you mean. Nothing I've read about the proposed caps includes a change in the income levels.

Apologies, I mixed it up with the recent changes to Tier 1.

Income tables have been upped and age points dropped.

Nearly 100,000 new homes must be built every year for immigrants

Nearly 100,000 new homes must be built every year just to provide housing for immigrants, ministers disclosed yesterday. Four out of every ten new houses or flats built to cope with the rising population will go to a migrant, they said.

The housing projections from the Commu nities Department say that at current birth rates and expected rates of immigration, 252,000 new homes a year will be needed each year until 2031.

That's a lot of demand. High demand = rising prices! Good luck everyone:)

"must be built" i.e. imperative. Name one other country that would even bother to calculate numbers, let alone build to accommodate. I can tell you that EVERY migrant to this country knows in advance of arrival what benefits they can/will claim and how to claim them. Those who work (qualifying period only) know how few hours they have to work in order to maximise top-ups. The saying "only fools and horses" has never been more pertinent. The mugs are those who work their butts off to make ends meet, whilst inadvertently funding comfortable lifestyles for the strays of Europe. They do not come here for the weather.

There are many migrants who cannot and do not claim benefits. Non-EU migrants do not receive benefits and those who are sponsoring them into the country have to show they have the means to support them without relying on state benefits.

The only migrants who can claim benefits are those from EU member states.

I assume you are referring to those who have "no recourse to public funds" stamped in their passports on entry to the UK?

You must be aware that this restriction doesn't apply for the duration. You will also be aware of asylum seekers living in 2million pound mansions? Most of the migrants come from Europe anyway which is why a cap on NON-EU immigration has been put in place.
I believe that if the true extent of the problem was known, there would be riots on the streets and probably no need for sites like this - people would not have to watch every last penny - there would be enough to go round.

Asylum seekers aren't entitled to HB. Stop making things up.
