It was recently revealed that there are far fewer illegal student migrants than had been thought and that this error led to a needless, costly crackdown on universities.
Many believed, following the regularly stated public position of Theresa May when she was Home Secretary, that students illegally overstaying their visas made up a significant chunk of the total.
Indeed, in her tenure in this role, the current Prime Minister introduced a range of measures — often publicly justified by claims about the number overstaying their visas, often cited at 100,000 — including scrapping a visa that allowed graduates to remain in the country for two years without a job offer.
