Deep dives
Impact of Watered-Down Student Visa Plans
The podcast discusses the consequences of Rishi Sunak watering down plans to cut student visas under pressure from cabinet members like James Cleverley and Jeremy Hunt. These plans were part of an attempt to reduce net migration from 700,000 to 400,000 and signify a broader unraveling of migration control efforts.
Concerns About Immigration Policy Influence
There are concerns raised about the influence of consultancies and lobby groups, particularly within the university sector, shaping immigration policies. The discussion highlights the power of these groups in targeting susceptible decision-makers and the impact on issues like visa loopholes and economic short-termism.
Challenges Posed by Foreign Student Influx
The influx of foreign students, especially through visa loopholes, has significant implications on housing markets, part-time job opportunities, and cultural dynamics in university towns. The focus on low-grade courses and the influx of transient populations create long-term challenges for native populations.
Migration Policy and Economic Implications
The podcast delves into the economic implications of migration policies, such as the threshold for skilled worker visas and the expansion of health and care worker visas. The discussion touches on challenges in maintaining standards, fraudulent practices, and the disparity in contributions between EEA and non-EEA migrants.
On today's Deprogrammed, host Harrison Pitt of the European Conservative is joined by Connor Tomlinson, political commentator and host at Lotus Eaters, and Robert Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control.
