Sure you can, skills based immigration. Poach from other countries.

In the 1970s the USA had a crippling shortage of nurses and doctors which was filled by relaxing skills based immigration laws and importing trained medical talent from the Phillipines en masse.

there's no guarantee people will come to your country.

for example: would you go to work on the Iranian nuclear project?

Could you even go?

Would your country let you do that?

You keep counting on the fact that people will come to you instead of everywhere else, like it's the 70s.

But more importantly, the conversation is specifically about the hard stop on immigration that Brexit created.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Market can't fix stupidity.

I think it's time some nations, like UK, begin thinking about restructuring their society to adjust to the fact that their relevance has plumbed and will keep going down for the next decade.
