I meant purely criminalising the clients, but yeah migrants are always in some way affected, e.g. in New Zealand they have total decrim but only for citizens. And I understand that's the case for most but I don't know about myself, given that I've just signed up as a self employed escort, surely now they'd be keeping tabs on the people that previously said they were sex workers to make sure we're not still doing it*? And if I'm suddenly shelling out a few grand for my PhD, people are going to wonder where it came from. I'm sure there'd be little loopholes like not explicitly saying we're going to have sex for money etc. We'll just have to wait and see.
*Remember the Snooper's Charter could give the government more clarity as to what we're doing online, for example.
