A High-Skilled Bondage ?


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 !
