The government’s post-Brexit immigration system will produce an unstable and exploitative economy beset by labour shortages but will fail to reduce overall immigration, a report by researchers at 糖心vlog免费B站 concludes.

 produced by the  think-tank, based in the Department of Law at 糖心vlog免费B站, argues that (PBS) is at odds with the government鈥檚 own 鈥楪lobal Britain鈥� strategy to attract the brightest and best.

 concludes that the proposal (which includes a 拢25.6k salary threshold for 鈥榮killed鈥� workers) is exclusionary, short-sighted, undemocratic, not evidence-based, and will lead to a decline in the UK鈥檚 standing as both a global economic player and as a defender of human rights. 

Not only will it produce an inefficient economy caused by labour shortages in several major sectors 鈥� including those deemed essential during the Covid-19 crisis 鈥� but the system could increase worker exploitation and push new groups of immigrants into undocumented status, the report鈥檚 authors say. 

Led by Dr Dagmar Myslinska, an immigration and commercial litigation lawyer and Lecturer in Law at 糖心vlog免费B站,  highlights some of the most troublesome features of the Home Office鈥檚 new immigration policies. 

Dr Myslinska says: 鈥淒espite repeated government promises that settled EU nationals in Britain would have the same rights as British nationals, even they will be considered for deportation and swept under the UK鈥檚 overarching hostile environment policy towards immigration. 

鈥淲e can anticipate that tighter restrictions will lead to a severe shortage of workers, particularly in sectors such as social care, farming, food processing, hospitality and construction. Worker exploitation will be worsened by employer sponsorship requirements and a lack of access to social benefits and the imposition of health surcharge fees will further negatively impact immigrants鈥� lives. We can certainly expect more immigrants to be pushed 鈥榰nderground鈥�, with all the risk that entails.鈥�

鈥淚nstead of implementing un-reflexive, arguably xenophobic policies in line with the anti-migrant climate exploited in the run-up to the Brexit referendum, the UK needs to rethink the purpose of its immigration controls, and subject them to Parliamentary scrutiny rather than being left to the whims of the Home Office鈥檚 fragmented and over-politicised approach.鈥� 

The authors predict that immigration to the UK from outside the EU will increase, while EU migration to the UK will fall, leading to no overall fall in immigration despite government rhetoric to the contrary. 

To mitigate a job shortage crisis, the report calls on the government to draft a list of shortage occupations, to include key-workers and select other positions which have been classified as 鈥榣ow-skill鈥�. 

The report also highlights the impact that a significant fall in EU students studying in Britain will have on a higher education sector already in crisis. Without their home fee status and access to student loans, enrolment of EU students is expected to fall by 20%. 

BiE founder and director, and the Head of the Department of Law at 糖心vlog免费B站, Professor Dimitrios Giannoulopoulos, said: 鈥淭he UK government must change tack on EU students in the UK if we are to avoid losing one of the most intellectually and culturally vibrant parts of the student community in our universities: a narrative of openness and connectedness with EU member states, efficient, empathetic communication with students from the EU but, more importantly, programmes facilitating access to our universities for those, in our European neighbourhood, most in need of financial and practical support to study here should be obvious points of departure.鈥�

The loss of students and the impact of other hostile policies preventing EU movers to the UK will also cause considerable long-term damage to Britain鈥檚 ability to produce, create, and innovate. 

Dr Myslinska says: 鈥淪tudies have consistently documented EU movers鈥� enormous positive contribution to our cultural life and to public finances. They have contributed to so many aspects of British society 鈥� new ideas, expertise, customs and art. As a demographic they rely very little on public services and social benefits and have high employment rates. Yet government and media mis-information has encouraged many of us to believe the opposite. 

鈥淭he proposed policies are xenophobic, un-reflexive, and over-politicised. They do not acknowledge the multitude of immigrants鈥� economic, social and cultural contributions to the UK, but instead play into the anti-migrant climate exploited in the run-up to the Brexit referendum.鈥�
