Foreign graduates: thanks for the money, now get out of our country?

Actually I agree with this. You may think I am a BNP Nazi type for but keeping these professionals in the country during a Job shortage only benefits one group of people: Owners of the means of production.

In China foreigners are only allowed to take jobs which a Chinese person cannot do. For example English teachers, Corporate associates and jobs needing creative disciplines. They invest in their own people instead of looking else where for talent at the lowest price. This benefits the people rather than organisations who don't want to contribute to the prosperity of the nation.

This is what Britain has became. We have became a nation which puts the welfare of corporations above the welfare of the people.

And corporations could very well leave Britain but where are they going to go? London is a key financial trade hub within its timezone. It has been for hundreds of years. Is there going to be a huge flock to Senegal or Lisbon? Highly unlikely. It would take a nuclear attack on London to do that.

Stupid policy IMO.
Not trying to sound disrespectful, but if foreigners are to be kicked out even after graduating, then Spain would be in its complete right to kick out every Brit coming here because of the nice weather. 20% of the population where I live is British, and they can be very loud and tend to spend a lot of their free time drunk.

The Home secretary is suggesting that under the next tory government non EU foreign students will be kicked out promptly after graduating, possibly with the unis held responsible for making sure they leave - currently they are allowed 4 months to find a skilled job.

Seems to me to be targetting the wrong sort of migrants first in pursuit of a misguided net migration target, this will make UK and its unis appear less friendly to foreign students and tbh our HEIs need their money.

The well advertised benefit to the country of migration arise from skilled immigration, but rather than crack down on unskilled chain migration by third world marriage of convenience it's proposed we kick graduates out instead.

What do you think?

So your argument is that this policy would be a good idea because firms are choosing to higher foreign graduates when there are British ones who could do it, but aren't getting the opportunities?

It's illogical; foreign graduates, unlike low skilled foreign immigrants, won't work for a discount. They're perfectly substitutable between British grads - the reason that they're being hired is either (a) there actually is a shortage or (b) the foreign grads are better.

What such a policy will do will reduce the quality of students at British universities (which harms them), and subsequently, the quality of graduates from British universities, which hurts everybody.

You make the incredibly narrow minded argument that it will only hurt corporations, yet you ignore the fact that the vast majority of graduates go to work in the public sector, (double the number that work in the next largest industry) - so such a policy will hit the NHS, hospitals, schools etc the hardest, and by extension, the public. But, I suppose that your argument of 'let's inflict lots of pain on everybody so we can hurt corporations a bit' works too...

Actually, unless they can get a job within 4 months, it is very unlikely that this policy change would affect the foreign students significantly.

Moronic policy. This will leave us with an even greater 'brain drain'.

So the solution to a "brain drain" in this country is to plug the gap, so to speak, with foreign students? Shouldn't we be investing more in education and training so that the inhabitants of Britain can fill the jobs immigrants take? In other words, addressing the root cause of the problem.

It will go down well with the average Tory/UKIP voter.

But kicking out skilled and well qualified young people seems like a dumb thing to do.
