Dismay And Anger Over Labour’s Visa Plans | Letters

As an migrant moving successful nan NHS connected a health and attraction visa, I americium dismayed, disappointed, angry and terrified by Labour’s migration betterment proposals, owed to their imaginable effect connected me, connected different immigrants and connected each British nine (NHS could cease to usability nether Labour’s caller visa rules, opportunity nurses, 6 October).

Until nan immigration achromatic paper was published, I naively assumed that anti-immigrant sentiment was restricted to nan Tories and Reform UK. When Labour came to power, I felt tremendous alleviation and a budding consciousness of information and optimism. I soon learned really naive I was. Betrayed and used, I now fearfulness that I will suffer my occupation and my home.

The Labour statement must travel to its senses. First, immigrants already present must beryllium allowed to use for indefinite time off to stay (ILR) nether nan rule arsenic it was erstwhile we came into nan country. This is only adjacent to our employers and us. Second, nan wellness and attraction visa must remain. Think of your loved ones successful request of care. Third, nan clip needed to get ILR and citizenship must not beryllium increased. It is acold amended to person an land of strangers than 1 of corpses. Finally, visa fees must not beryllium increased. We earn very little, and galore struggle to salary visa renewal fees. If nan NHS and councils suffer overmuch of their migrant workforce and are made to salary higher visa-sponsorship fees for doubly arsenic long, they will be seriously affected.
