I'm sorry but I don't want your non working, non English speaking partner here in the UK to live on benefits, they are YOURS, you support them..
We have enough lazy bastards already in the UK and enough Baby farms, keep your wide open fanny missus where she comes from...
They said thousands of Britons had been unable to bring a non-EU spouse to the UK since July 2012, when minimum earnings requirements were introduced.
Children have also been separated from a parent, the parliamentary group said.
The Home Office said the rules were designed to ease the burden of migration on the taxpayer.
Rules that came into force a year ago require any British citizen who wants to sponsor their non-European spouse's visa to be able to show they earn at least £18,600 a year, rising to £22,400 to sponsor a child, and a further £2,400 for each further child.
The inquiry by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration, which is calling for an independent review of the minimum income requirement, looked at more than 175 cases from families affected by the rules.
Forty-five claimed their inability to meet the income threshold had led to the separation of children, including British children, from a non-EU parent, the group said.
In one case, a woman from outside Europe had been separated from her British husband and two sons, including a five-month-old baby she had been breastfeeding.
Douglas Shillinglaw, from Kent, is among those to have been affected. His wife is in Lagos, Nigeria, with his five-month old son and her six-year-old son from another relationship.
Mr Shillinglaw, a self-employed mortgage broker for two years, told the BBC he was being "judged like an employed person".
"Self-employed income is different from employed income. I have got enough money to pay my mortgage and bills, and that should be enough," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"And should anything happen to me, I have a family that will take care of them. My family are wholeheartedly behind what I am doing."
Mark Reckless, Conservative MP on the home affairs select committee, said the government had promised to bring down net immigration and it had done so by "bearing down" on bogus colleges, caps on work visas and reforms on family immigration.
"If you are bringing someone into the country, then you should be expected to support that person without recourse to public expense," he told Today.
