Tory introduced a new immigration policy which means scraping of Tier 1 (Post study visa) and further restrictions for Tier 1 (Work permit for highly skilled immigrants). The new immigration policy makes it much harder for highly skilled people graduated from UK universities to stay in the country. 
As Immigration Minister Phil Woolas says: “we would run our immigration system for the benefit of the UK and that is what we are doing…”

However, is it really going to be beneficial for the UK? Immigration Caps would punish highly skilled migrants who wish to settle in the UK and make an economic contribution to the development of Britain. This is not large group of people coming from outside the EU, who must already qualify to high standards to apply under the points based system. For example, if before it was enough for me to earn of 20K a year in order to get my visa, now I will only gain my points if I earn 25,000 or more for the last 12 months! Again, my 25K does not give me much confidence of getting the visa.
In fact, the government should tackle unskilled immigrants doing low pay jobs. Most of them come from EU countries and they have a legal right to live and work in the UK. This is the largest group of immigrants for today.
Well, as the Tory is not able to control overflow of EU workers they try to keep their promises on reducing immigration level through tightening the policy on highly skilled non-EU immigrants.
Conservatives announced: “We will create a dedicated Border Police Force, as part of a refocused Serious Organised Crime Agency, to enhance national security, improve immigration controls.” Yet another graph of expenses in the budget pot… It wouldn’t be a surprise if they increase taxes once more to put into practice their new Border Police Force project.
Many would argue that foreigners take the jobs of Brits. It is not quite true. If you just Google “jobs UK” thousands of websites will pop up, all with hundreds of job opportunities. Whether you can get it or not depends on your skills and experience.
The Conservatives pledged were warned by business organisations this could cut productivity and damage Britain’s global competitiveness. The new project of trashing immigrants looks extremely controversial. Well, let’s keep our eyes and ears open and see how beneficial it is...

I mean for Israel its absolutely logical law.
We don't care how many degrees or money non-Jewish person has, we don't want him here.Perhaps UK experience same thing on much lower scale.
Just another turn of post-modern society paranoia: "They will take your jobs and rape your women".
must be resonating with feelings of hard working salt-of-the-earth kind of people.
We pay a lot of tax to the uk and contributed this country, yet this discrimination to us is truly unfair, the government should control the people who breaks the law and order, not the company who need skilled people from non EU countries like Japan.
