Theresa May to exile British citizens
Recently been following articles about immigration, and was disgusted that she wanted to impose requirements of up to 60k a year on British born citizens who just so happen to fall in love with a foreign national.. Luckily she has only got away with £18,600 but it's still bordering the average wage.. And on top of that she wants to infringe on people's rights to appeal.
So much for them saying they want to be a family friendly government which was in their manifesto that they wanted to be the most family friendly government..
Splitting up families and exciling British citizens to live in other countries because they cannot meet the income requirement is not really on, especially when lots of people are lucky to even have a job right now.. She even admits this is a breach of the European human rights legislation.
They said this new ruling will effect 2/3 of uk citizens who fall in love with a foreign national.. It's like kicking their own citizens into the curb..
Yes immigration needs resolving but is a hard line like this fair?
Especially after her previous immigration blunders like relaxing immigration checks at heathrow last year, and this year blundering the extradition of a national security threat because she "got the dates wrong"
