The Conservative Party aims to raise salary thresholds for work visas to £38,700, as part of their proposed immigration bill. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp advocates ending mass migration, proposing limitations on marriage visas, such as a two-year marriage requirement and age restrictions. The Home Office criticized the Conservatives' previous failure to manage immigration effectively. Philp argues that a larger focus should shift to high-skilled rather than low-skilled immigrants, claiming that low wage migrants ultimately burden taxpayers.
"For 20 or 30 years now, we've seen huge numbers arriving in the UK, often coming to work on low wages and in low-skilled jobs and it's time, we think, that ends."
"The Tories had 14 years to reform immigration and asylum, yet they left a system in chaos and our borders weaker."
