    Family split apart by immigration rules

    well at least she got to spend 6 months in the UK

    A young Welsh American family is being torn apart by controversial immigration rules with the mother and her 18-month-old baby being forced to leave Britain and fly across the Atlantic today while her teacher husband stays in Wales.

    bad internet connection here so cant open the link, but without reading the whole story, I assume they didn't look into the requirments ,
    which makes me wonder why some people go blunder on into a life changing move leaving their jobs behind so blindly

    Contrary to the sentiments others have expressed here so far ... I make no apologies for feeling heart sorry for this family.

    Those of you who know me through my writings over the years, will be aware I've been dead against the downright unfairness of the Minimum Income Requirement set by this Government ever since the was first mooted.

    What I do find strange, on the other hand ... ... is the fact that an experienced College Lecturer would earn less than £18,600 p.a.

    seems rather odd!

    Am on your side with this one Arthur I also feel their pain; also bigmac, the child would not be deported as it is not allowed but its up to the parents themselves to how best to deal with this situation and as the father is now working then for the short term a little holiday back to the USA would be the best solution for them.

    BTW Shift out the s...e Mrs May and leave the good guys alone...

    I'm dead against the Great British taxpayer having the pee taken out of us. How would you like to contribute on your next neighbour's Bentley hire purchase agreement while you've cut your cloth, living within your means, making do with a Jaguar.
    You wanna a Bentley then have the means to own one b4 u take on the agreement. Quite simple, really

    'fraid the is already being extracted from the Great British taxpayer (has been for yonks!) by the assorted "ne'er do wells" our spineless political masters allow to stay here ... as referred to in Joe's link ... I suggest you !

    Frankly, I fail to see the analogy between two top of the range cars and [wilfully] splitting up families.

    100% with Mark's statement in #9, viz:-

    "Shift out the sh1t and leave ordinary, decent, law-abiding folk to get on with their lives in peace", needs to be the message conveyed in no uncertain terms to our illustrious Home Secretary.

    The analogy is quite clear

    As for ''shifting out the excrement'' Hardly a charitable term for folks coming from war ravaged countries.

    ... not to me, it isn't, I'm afraid.

    C'mon, mate ... after all this time, you surely know me better than that ... I have no objections to taking its share of refugees from war~torn nations - within reason!

    What I don't want is the criminal riff~raff ... the [seemingly] constant influx of Middle Eastern [so-called "religious"] extremists - who are hell~bent on causing mayhem - infiltrating our shores ... attempting to sweep aside our centuries-old traditions by demanding WE accept theirs ... or else ... !

    Interesting topic.

    Lesson to all to do some simple research before making life-changing decisions.
