The whole immigration system in this country is completely flawed and indirectly racist anyway. I have a personal situation where a family member is in love with someone of a different race from a non EU country and the hoops they are expected to jump through just for the foreign national to get even a tourist visa to come here is ridiculous. Immigration officers from this country have even harassed her at work because her job involves stopovers in the UK and had for 5 years before she applied for a holiday Visa to visit her boyfriend, accusing her of planning to abscond while here. It's absolutely disgusting even though people do the right thing, are honest that they are in a relationship and put in the right applications. It seems completely skewed against anyone not from the EU.

I think a fairer system would be balanced in favour of skills, qualifications and treat those who fall in love with UK Nationals with a bit more kindness and respect wherever they are from. I hope Poland stand up to the EU because all the forced immigration will just make it harder and harder for others.
