Measures are in place and have been developing to make it less attractive (less easy) to 'import' a foreign national for partnership.
In 2002 I was happy in my ignorance and my research showed this to be uncomplicated and inexpensive, but the goal posts were on the move.
Larisa was unable to take any form of employment for 6 months,
within that time we should marry before she could then apply for the permanent leave to remain.
Later after taking the citizenship exam she could apply for citizenship.
She still has a 2nd class form of citizenship that can be revoked.
All of this meant my financial support, and it was expensive. With my evolved understanding I have no issues with this.
If we take the UK population density as 100%, and often it feels like it is, and compare to other EU countries we have France 45%, Germany 87%, Spain 35%, Italy 77%, Greece 32%, and just for interest USA 13%

However we do it I see that we are justified in 'controlling' the influx.
