“ Net migration targets have been abandoned by the Government as it ditches the £35,800 salary cap for migrants to be allowed to settle in the UK.
The new rules for Boris Johnson’s points-based immigration system demolish the last vestiges of Theresa May’s attempts to reduce net migration to tens of thousands.
Skilled migrants will no longer be required to earn £35,800 to be able to settle in the UK but instead the cap will be lowered to £25,600 under the rules which were quietly slipped out on Thursday and take effect on December 1.
Unskilled migrants on salaries of just £20,480 but with enough points to be allowed into the UK to plug gaps in shortage jobs will also be entitled to settle in Britain after six years and become citizens.”
