They need skilled immigration. By making students be the target of short-sighted fear based policies, they make it clear to those students that Britain is not where they want to end up. They end up losing many of their potential brightest minds.

Keep in mind that due to the demographic crisis, countries are soon to be competing for them.

Also: immigration is good, and the grievance based policies that attacks immigrants while achieving marginal gains is dishonest.

Also: hacker news seems like it has a sea lion problem.

That's not very charitably of you. I asked you a plain question, because you stated a problem without the consequences. Don't assume everyone is in your little bubble.

I'm not sure why anyone would think it's a problem to ask people to share their perspectives.
