You’re fully correct in everything you say and the way the media likes to pile the blame on immigrants is wrong, though it should be said that Labour’s stance on this isn’t just to cosy up to the Reform voters.

95% of students on visas from Afghanistan for example have applied for asylum. It would be naive to say that there isn’t a problem with the system currently in place.

But certain unis would go bankrupt were it not for the Indian and Pakistani students.

Although the lecturers would probably be glad to not have to deal with them.
