For me it seems like a conspiracy of immigration (in different countries) where whatever rules are passed down to them, they'll going to bend them to let as much ineligible people as possible while taking pride in rejecting obvious good fits. And then you would wonder why citizens distrust immigration to provide healthy addition to their society.

Not unlike some professors who take an easy pass on dullards while throwing all their wrath at students with signs of self-learning. Those people are actively sabotaging the system they're part of.
