Immigration
Immigration is an excellent tool to augment the professional / skilled workforce of The United Cape States (UCS), attracting assimilable labour.
The criteria being – can the immediate descendants of any new arrival seamlessly assimilate into the dominant culture within one generation, limiting the number of new immigrants to levels that insure assimilation and not the creation of pockets of alien communities?
The United Cape States (UCS) will implement a point system for the annual selection of top candidates, envisaging that those who do not meet the criteria for Automatic Citizenship will be granted a non-race based Permanent Residency.

- At least one member of the immediate family has been gainfully employed for at least 3.5 of the 5 years and are not likely to depend on the government for financial support.
