The UK offers a points based system and has a more closed door policy today, than recently. There are caps on the number of migrants allowed to enter and you can no longer enter if you are considered unskilled. You must have skills to enter Britain as a migrant, unless you are an EU resident, they have freedom of movement into the UK. As we do to EU member countries.
