Illegal immigration and misrepresentation is violation of a country’s laws, which we know. But, most people do not realize what affect it can have on a country’s economy. Yes, it does have a very deep impact on economies when people enter one country by faking their identity or by following the inappropriate visa route to enter the country.
A reality check: a study carried out by UK’s Migrationwatch found that multiple thousand of fake international students entering the United Kingdom each year who are taking up employments costing the nation more than 500 million pounds. According to the report, every year about tens of thousands overseas students are issued with UK students visas. But, it is found that hardly all of these students are genuine, because many of them never pursue their courses, their proposed reason behind entering the UK, and others stay back in the nation unlawfully after the expiration of their visas.
These illegal and unauthentic international student visa holders often engage themselves in jobs in the UK, which otherwise could be filled by local workers. This makes the country to pay out employment perks to international workers, as well as the nation misses out on tax contributions from the workers. This eventually costs the UK big bucks.
The situation actually spells out many more problems in the United Kingdom. International bogus students taking away the available jobs means the country is heading towards to face far severe unemployment issues. Besides, unlawful workers are also found working at lower wages making their employers (unscrupulous often) posing competition to the authentic employers.
In the meanwhile, UK’s immigration minister promises to clamp down on illegal immigrants who are abusing the country’s student route to enter the UK and taking away the jobs from the local unemployed Britons.
