I'm sorry but it's hard to see people lie about how legal immigration to the United Kingdom works, and say nothing about it.
I am a legal immigrant to the UK. In 2023, I had to spent roughly £5,000 for a 2.5 years visa, NHS surcharge, biometric appointment and language tests.
I will have to spend £4,000 this year, to extend my visa by another 2.5 years, after which, I'll need to pay again for indefinite leave-to-remain.
On top of that, as a legal immigrant, I am understandably required to pay taxes, national insurance and can NOT claim benefits.
This on-going myth that legal immigrants are free-loading on UK taxpayers is complete bullshit. If anything, I'm subsidising them.
My legal immigrant ass is a net benefit to your country.

The British public has footed the bill for an immigration system that feels out of control and unfair. We’re stopping this. It is only fair that migrants with an income or sizeable assets will have to contribute to the cost of their stay, not the taxpayer.
