Cox to hold bicameral talks on immigration

POLITICO | With the budget on it's path to be passed by the Senate, Democratic lawmakers have announced their next bid to tackle an important part of the government's political program. Immigration Minister Jo Cox (DUP) has announced the scheduling of behind-closed-doors talks with party representatives in the Chamber, and with the various delegations in the Senate. In the statement released by her office, the Immigration Minister declared the government's "desire to address the need for crucial reform in our current immigration framework." 
As it stands, in order to be able to succesfully migrate to Falleentium, one needs to pass two separate stages. The first is the federal stage, subsequently followed by the state stage which is carried out at the discretion of the individual state administrations. The federal stage however, is stipulated in the Imperial Immigration Act of 559AER. Immigration to the country operates on a fixed "Points System", in which one needs to score a perfect score of 60 points in order to pass the legal requirements. The points are granted in three different categories:
1. Age: An applicant immigrant between the ages of 25 and 32 years, is automatically given 30 out of the 60 total points. All other ages are given 0 points.2. Language proficiency: Scoring below 75% in the standardised language proficiency test results in 0 points, between 75% and 90% results in 5 points, and 90% or above results in 10 points to the applicant immigrant. 3. Academic level: Individuals holding at least 8 GSCE (or equal level) certificates are awarded 5 points, Individuals holding at least three certificates at GCE level (or state equal) are given 10 points, holders of bachelor's or master's are given 15 points and holders of a doctorate are given 20 points.
It doesn't take much time to notice that the current system requires from an applicant, in order to achieve the maximum score of 60, to be between 25-32 years of age, to have a near perfect score in a language proficiency test and to be the holder of a doctorate degree. These requirements, objectively speaking, render almost nobody applicable to move to the country from abroad. The Immigration Minister, and government as a whole, has decried the "unreasonable" nature of these requirements, which "deprive our country and market from the cultural enrichment, intellectual value and productivity that immigrants can bring to the country." It is expected that the government shall seek to liberalise the immigration system by either lowering point restrictions in terms of age and academic level, or refoming the system as a whole by setting guidelines and requirements without a points system.
