UK Increasing Wage Boundary to £35K for Migrant Workers

I panicked slightly when I saw this today.

I thought it might affect my wife, but it looks like it'll only affect those who are here on a work visa type thing to start with.
It's still ridiculous and infuriating, though. Every time this government imposes some arbitrary, draconian new law, I wonder if this will be the time they screw my life up. It makes me wonder why I am so subject to the impulses of people I'll never meet or care about.
They don't seem to realise that these things actually affect people's lives.
And £35K? There's not many people outside of London making that at all. It's completely unreasonable.
I wonder, the people who say that we are becoming "overcrowded"... do they have any objections to people giving birth? Same effect, isn't it? If it's such a crime to exist in this country, such a burden, then shouldn't they kill themselves to lessen it?
It's pretty stupid to view resources and space as static measures that are filled by a growing population... production scales with population. By their logic, any country with a larger population than theirs must be struggling to fill jobs, since it's the population size that's clearly the problem.
