Following the decision made in the Judicial Review case brought by English UK, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) has made a series of amendments to the Immigration rules under Tier 4 of the Points Based System (PBS).
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the population has grown by 394,000 people in the span of one year. It seems that growing birth rates within the UK have been pushing the population numbers up due to a larger amount of migrant mothers are of a child bearing age and are already established enough to start a family. At the same time births to UK born mothers continues to fall, this time by 1.1 percent from last year.
The United Kingdom Government is set to change current immigration policies in order to better sustain both UK nationals and future immigrants.
