The problem is more the hostile environment towards people who are not illegal. Who do the right thing and apply properly. Surely we want to welcome genuine visitors and people married to UK citizens. I saw one case where a woman couldn't come to UK while her husband lived here with her toddler daughter. She should have the right to be with her child.
