I’m intrigued by the Migration Advisory Committee’s review of the Tier 1 visa scheme. Am I surprised that money, in the form of previous earnings, is the most influential factor here–or, for that matter, that a higher degree of education counts for less and less? Of course not–the system has always been biased. Do I disapprove of the visa scheme? God, no–I wouldn’t be here without it. But do I think we should just start issuing anyone who makes upwards of £100,000 with an automatic, free, self-renewing pass to live wherever, and however, they like because they make so much money? At this rate, yes. Sigh.
