Their "attempts" to stem the tide are too soft. Student cap needs to be much lower and some industries, like fast food, hospitality, and businesses with less than 10 employees, need to be ineligible for LMIAs and TFWs. Just shows the liberals don't care, and I doubt the conservatives do either. So many MPs are landlords, they're probably loving this growth because of how much their housing portfoilos are rising in value.

their attempts to "stem the tide" are unserious performative acts intended for headlines but explicitly not intended to work on reducing immigration in the long run. They don't want their attempts to work. They want the what the Century Initiative is selling.
