Yeah, non-EU immigrants do get fucked over, because the immigration system is basically racially preferenced to European immigrants. Non-EU immigrants have to get through countless barriers those coming from the EU don't.

Skilled workers from non-EU country don't have many difficulties getting a work visa to the UK. And unskilled work doesn't usually compete with skilled work. Every selection is biased in one way or the other, there's no purely fair way of doing that.

  > Skilled workers from non-EU country don't have many difficulties getting a work visa to the UK. Oh? That's interesting. There are people in this comment thread claiming that work visa are really awful and restrictive. > And unskilled work doesn't usually compete with skilled work. Well, no, but we are forced to accept a ton of unskilled (and unneeded) immigration from the EU which means we have to restrict the total amount of potentially needed skilled work from non-EU countries. > Every selection is biased in one way or the other, there's no purely fair way of doing that. Is an immigration preference people of certain nationalises fair? Can I assume you agree with Trumps immigration bans by any chance?

I'm not sure about their experience and my knowledge is 3rd party, still, YMMV. > Is an immigration preference people of certain nationalities fair? Not really, but no country does this fairly, and they're not wrong (within a limit). Key word: immigration. Is it fair that Canadians don't need a visa to visit the US but Mexicans do? No, but they're not wrong and Mexico is free to require a visa as well. > Can I assume you agree with Trumps immigration bans by any chance? The travel ban, not the immigration ban. And no, I don't agree that people with a valid visa (or even permanent residents, which was what the Supreme Court shot down first) shouldn't be allowed to visit (unless there's a specific issue).
