One of the problems with the stats is counting foreign students (whose
fees many Universities depend on) as immigrants.

It doesn't help the debate that according to the Guardian these students
are all doing PhDs in rocket science and cancer-curing at Imperial, while
according to the Mail they are all doing diplomas in general studies at
the Outer Croydon Institute of Visa Applications.

I don't think that it matters what subject they study

what matters is the level of qualification they are studying for

we should simply have the cut off point at: studying at first degree level
or above at an accredited university.

Attempts to study for some made up qualification at mom and pop college
should see you excluded entry

Of course you do have a problem with these people who come here for an
accredited course and then drop out

No idea how big that sample set is
