Whe are students included in the migration figures?
And anyway, isn't it good news that more people are choosing to study in the UK?
Education is one of ours successful industries after all.

Because that five years studying is half of the 10 year legal stay requirement for permanent residency, so if you can string it out....

I've seen people from the Indian Sub-continent who've done crappy course after crappy course for ten years and got PR - that's the incentive.

So no - it's not good news.

It's better than that. If you have a child whilst you are in the UK you cannot be deported, and yes, you guessed it, due to the Human Rights act. Basically you are deemed a family unit and since the child is then British, the parent cannot be deported.

So you do some tulipty English course here (because you don't speak English), have a sprog and you're in for life.

Is it that easy to get into other countries, e.g. Australia or US? And does getting some random stranger pregnant count for men?

It applies here for men or women. Only applies to Europe (we all signed up remember ) AFAIK.

Don't know about Aus, but in the US if you are an illegal citizen and have a child whilst in the US, the child becomes a US citizen whereas the illegal parent(s) can still be deported.

From construction to agriculture, to restaurants to gardening, to childrearing, hotels and home help, illegal immigrants are a major driver of the US economy. They may have no papers, but that does not stop them paying taxes, buying homes and raising children who, if born in the US, are American citizens.

Not strictly true, that's only the case if the child is born to one of the parents being a UK or EU citizen, if not, the whole lot go, unless the child is over eight and it can be proved it has a UK life and not fair to be deported, then the parents can apply for Discretionary Leave, aka DL, which is a nightmare of waiting with no permission to work, it's no gravy boat really.

Your second paragraph is rubbish really, sorry, it's just not true, UK immigration is very tough now, EU law and HRA get in the way, but aside from that it is a police state if u r illegal here and no fun at all..

Could you graciously address the the rest of my arguments, our do you not know what you are talking about?

To the the tune of Leeds Finest, "I Suspect the Latter..."
