Totally unfair
As you may well know my son lives in Brazil after marrying a girl from that country
He has a degree in business management and a teaching English qualification . my D-in-Law is a qualified vet over there and I have 3 grand daughters one born in UK.
For him and his family to come back to the UK ( even though he owns a near £200,000 house over here) He has to have at least £75,000 in a UK bank and a job to go to paying at least £35,000pa.
Yet these immigrants are given everything such as houses -money- and do not have to even have a job.
This is what makes me personally really sick about our immigration laws. Those that work, with qualifications and are English can't bring their families here yet scumbag immigration scroungers are welcome with open arms
For him and his family to circumnavigate this he and family will have to become a resident in Portugal for a year and become Portugees. Then they can come to the UK with no restrictions as Portugal is part of the EEC
