Scrap the £35k threshold for non-EU citizens settling in the UK

To all British citizens,

Please sign the petition @ https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/118060 and also spread the message by sharing, and including a message to ask your readers to share in turn. We currently have just over 91,000 signatures. Less than 9,000 more are needed to trigger consideration for a debate in parliament, but the petition looks like it is stalling.

My American daughter-in-law has been living, working, paying tax and contributions ever since she came to the UK several years ago. Now she faces the possibility of deportation. Imagine that you had moved to a foreign country, and had been an exemplary citizen for many years. But because you don’t earn what someone like this rabid Tory bint regards as a minimal salary, (£35k - the average salary is £20.8k) you have to leave you husband, your home, your job, your family and your friends and go back to - who knows what sort of situation? A “special concession” for nurses means that they can stay, and be paid a shit salary. This makes an utter nonsense of the idea that you can gauge someone’s worth by the salary they receive.

Thank you for your attention. Remember, it is important to share this message as well as to sign.
