A High-Skilled
Bondage ?
In his book “ Which
way’s up ? “, Tory MP Nicholas Boles suggests that , before granting of
immigration visas, migrants to UK should be required to furnish a security bond
worth Pounds 5,000 for use of “ public services “.
Then he goes on to
recommend that the bond amount be refunded to the migrant as soon as he has
paid to the Government, taxes exceeding “ many times “ the bond amount.
Now considering
that the British Government plans to admit no more than 24,100 highly-skilled
immigrants per year, the British Treasury would get richer by 120 million
Pounds.
It is another
matter that the “ bond income “ will not make much of a dent to the British
budget deficit of Pounds 170.8 billion !
Someone may come
forward and suggest that every single 5.4 million immigrant to UK (UN
Report of 2005 ), should be asked to furnish a 5000 Pound bond.
That would add 27
billion Pounds at one stroke !
