Abstract

We called for labour power', playwright Max Frisch once said, 'and human beings came'. The British government has called for higher education fees, and is discomforted by the actual arrival of non-EU students along with their overseas students' fees. Apparently, it cannot tell the difference between overseas students and 'illegal' (undocumented or semi-documented) immigrants or even terrorists, so it suspects them of being one or the other unless they prove otherwise. The proof must be continual, in case they lapse, or ulterior motives are allowed to emerge.
