Should not be fast tracked into anything.

We should advocate such measures that countries like Aus and NZ have.

My brother seeked immigration into Australia and it took him 4 months with constant contact with the embassy and soo many papers and tests to fill in. Checks were done on his complete background etc. That would weedle out those seeking a 'free ride' from the UK.

NZ is similar, perhaps even more stringent. With a degree your application is fast tracked so that they get the 'best'. They have a "point system" on your application, measuring how many languages you can speak, family links, past credit history etc.

Something similar would be good. We're a country and our human instinct of 'survival of the fittest' comes into play. We don't want people taking our resources unless they put more in for them.

99% of immigrants are law-abiding citizens. There are some that come for the free-ride and it's not fair on them anyway - cos they're usually put into slave labour and underground networks to hide from immigration officers which is a sad way of life for people.
