Almost 1 in 8 asylum claims are made by people in the UK on student visas. Many universities have turned into visa mills, selling entry into the UK to "students" who intend to abuse every possible rule to stay here as long as they can.
Professor Brian Bell of the Migration Advisory Committee notes the increasing number of foreign students who complete their course and then claim asylum. In 2020, 2,900 people on a student visa claimed asylum in the UK, increasing to 8,700 in 2022 and 16,200 in 2024.
