"The government should drop the salary threshold for immigrants by more than £4,000, a committee has advised.
Skilled migrants from outside the EU currently need to have a job offer with a minimum salary of £30,000.
But the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) said it should fall to £25,600 for all workers to help recruit teachers and skilled NHS staff.
The committee's chair also called Boris Johnson's proposal for a new points-based immigration system a "soundbite".
Mr Johnson said he wanted a scheme, based on Australia's system, during his summer campaign to lead the Conservative Party, and he made it a key pledge during the election."

To morons on here who voted for Brexit hoping it would reduce flow of cheap IT labour --->
