UK reverses some incentives for foreign workers in bid to cut migration

- The Government are describing it as the "biggest clampdown on legal migration ever".
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
As net migration soars to record levels - the Home Secretary told MPs the new rules would mean 300,000 fewer people coming to Britain in future.
In one of the biggest changes, health and care workers from abroad won't be able to bring their families with them. And it'll become harder for British citizens on less than average earnings to bring a foreign spouse into the country to live with them.

£38,700? Like the average british folk clears £38k+ in any given skilled job nowadays..smh. Skilled job salaries are atrocious in the UK. These clowns are completely detached from reality.
Even big four finance jobs in London have a starting salary in the lower 30k… I do not think many jobs would have a starting salary greater than 38k for a new graduate
@@gloriousg This will hurt manufacturing for sure. 26k was a reasonable starting salary for people to come here and prove their worth. Imagine if you get a guy who does alright on the interview and 2 weeks into the job you realise he isn't as experienced as you were led to believe. On 38k a year.... you're not wasting time. He is out the door.
Well said, my friend 👏
@@nauxsihire someone from the Uk in that case. There’s plenty of new graduates pouring out of Uk universities every year
@@nauxsiThis might coax British workers (all ethnicities) to take these jobs?
They'd prefer channel crossers and house them in hotels than legal migrants who actually pay taxes.
First they said we are gonna stop the boats.
So parliament asked the is there any legal way they can come.
Now the only legal way is artificially being manipulated.
@@nauxsi Notwithstanding that due to the ageing population gaps in the workforce will continue to grow bigger
Legal migration is actually the much bigger problem. The channel crossings need to stopped, but they're just a distraction.
Hundreds of thousands of "legal" migrants gained entry into the UK via NHS and student visas, but then they don't even attend university or work at the NHS (despite having a student/NHS visa) and then they over-stay their visa and the government never deports them.
Not only that, but they're able to bring over "dependents". Meaning, 1 immigrant on an NHS visa is able to bring over his entire family, never work at the NHS, over-stay his visa and still be able to live in a council house, claim benefits and never get deported. Brilliant.
You need to stop the benefits for lazy people that’s what you need we are already short staff everywhere
they love to play to be the saviour
I'm a Yankee and maybe out of the loop, but I thought the big issue was illegal migration, not legal.
Illegal makes up 5 percent or lower of total migration
So why hassIe with the iIIegaI ones?
You'd think, but Tories are adept at messing with our minds
The real problem isnt migration at all, they use migration as a way to get an "us" and "them" mentality in people so they can try to get the blame for why the country is failing on other people isntead of the blame going on them, unfortunately for them this has backfired as they cant even blame defenceless refugees properly so now they are trying to tar all migrants and hoping that does the trick. This is all a self inflicted mess.
It's likely the case in the US!
Bye bye Rishi, don't let the door hit you on the way out. No more unelected clowns thank you....
The elected ones were as bad! 😂
Isnt that what they ve all been the stvtime around Cameron was only in with libdems as didnt have majority. I believe any wins have been fixed. They ve told so many lies and cheated any money for themselves, btw how many greedy millions do they need to live on , utter disgust especially BJ and his cant pay nanny or needs legal aid what the h***s been going on all these years treating us the British as 3rd rate slaves..
From 18 600
To 38 700

Isn't it a stupid joke
Its unfair at all
Same time the Minimum wage will be onle 11.44
That is shittyyyyy un fair
@@kunalincredible people will complain about everyone thats elected constantly they are never happy with any PM, people just like to complain and whine
@@Danzo1212 just whine it s a lot more than that this time people have finally started to realise that the country is shattered..
How did the narrative go from cutting illegal immigration to cutting legal immigration, which we benefit from?
Because the tories have convinced gullible people that there's such a thing as an "illegal immigrant". There isn't, we're conflating something which doesn't exist with something that isn't a problem instead of building schools and houses.
Foreigners baaad 😂
Good spot! Amazing how the only legal route is now to blame. Unbelievable.
Because the British values are being watered with non-british values being imported into the country. Britain has a right to preserve their culture, just like every other culture in the world. They also have the right to who comes and goes in to the country.
@@lassiebudgets9523Britain certainly did not abide by those rules in the past century, also what are British values? They are inferior to American ones.
So we left the EU, so we could attract the beat talent from all around the world. Now we don't want them but there is no one to fill the gaps. What is this government doing! Flip flopping all over the place.
Almost like they have no idea what they are doing!
shhh.... it's a secret.
Praise indeed.
They`re worse than useless!
best talent? if that was the intention, the minimum salary would have been £500,000. the best talent never had any problem comming here, regardless of origin.
This is what happens when official policy is made in reaction to GB News, the Daily Wail and the latest opinion poll.
@@bigbarry8343Do you think the best talents need 500,000 pounds😅
My close relative is in a care home. 90% of his carers come from overseas. The idea theyd have to leave their family in Sri Lanka and other countries to look after my relative is abhorrent to me.
That's because the locals don't feel they are paid enough to be carers. The care industry is a blimmen nightmare. You can't keep staff over summer or Christmas. People who are Brits are 99% on UC thus they won't work more than 20 hours a week. So pay them more you say? Makes sense. Except local councils and/or private clients balk at the idea of paying more for the service they receive.Because full time care is darn expensive. It's a debacle. I don't know the answer.
Because those people are being exploited for cheap labour. What really should happen is a doubling in pay by the employers, with government subsidising the increase. Because the net social cost to the country would be the same (as a foreigners bringing in their partner and 3 children) and you solve the migration problem as well as creating a high paid british job.
@KS-tz9sg when you say the govt, you mean taxpayers. There isn't an infinite money printing machine. Well they have tried that in other countries but then you end up needing a wheelbarrow of cash to buy a loaf of bread. There isn't an easy answer to this care situation but I do agree a solution is needed.
There's a mentality in this country that at all costs wages must be kept low: while house prices must keep increasing. Both of which are caused by open borders.
The result is the only people who will work are those from the poorest countries to whom almost anything is a step up - and our own population stagnates on welfare.
@@incurableromantic4006 there is no focus on GDP growth, increasing housing etc. Policy is only focused on more govt handouts on an ever shrinking tax base which is utterly unsustainable. Increasing wages without real GDP growth also not solve the country's maladies.
As an immigrant nurse myself who worked during the pandemic and currently working as a specialist, it is sad that migrants are being considered the enemy. With this kind of restrictions, nurses and doctors will really leave the UK.
The UK is doomed. Please leave that shithole.
I bet nothing will change. More nurses and doctors will still come. It’s still better here than India or Philippines for nurses.
But you are here, let me say again you are here. Why would you consider leaving when you are here? Why will, "With this kind of restrictions, nurses and doctors will really leave the UK." mean that those people who are legitimately here will be in fear and wish to leave. You do not make a strong case. Please explain how I have this wrong.
they can go to singapore instead which is much closer to home anyway. oh wait, singapore is even more strict because they believe in common-sense measures.
@@PhilMacVee UK is not the only country with a worker shortage. Most of the western world needs nurses and care workers due to an aging demographic. Truly, the only thing that can hamper the british is the blinding British pride.
A party with a foreigner in charge taking care of migration? Its the sickest joke I can possibly think of.
United Kingdom of India
The UK government: Yes, we want health care and social workers to move here!
Also UK government: No, you can't bring your kids.
You want socialized services while simultaneously waiving the command of the institution that had designed itself to not implode as it provides them?
There's not enough surplus in the government budget to pay for the health services for 4 kids, 1 deadbeat jobless man, and 2 geriatric patients with 1 foot in the door. I mean it just isn't feasible how 1 person paying into the system can support 5 others.
Those who entered legally could not bring their dependents but those who enter illegally can. Lol we outta here.
And before Brexit, the workers who came from other EU states tended not to bring families because they had perfectly nice living conditions at home so didn’t want to come here. The Tories have lost the plot, entirely, on everything. Election please.
They dont come with their kids , they come with their extended family.
No they bring their elders uncles aunts every one not just kids, an example , a man came on work permit , with 2 kids and his own parents and wife, they don’t just bring their spouses it’s their entire family . They put strain on schools nhs etc , it’s not fair for people who are born bred here and have history here . These people coming over are spiteful , hate the people already here , they look down on us. My local university is getting a lot of Money from students who come from abroad , once they are here the “students” disappear and work full time , its ridiculous
As a British national living abroad with my foreign wife for 11 years, they have basically blamed their own problems with illegal migration via the boat crossings in to the UK by cutting spouse visa applications and to increase the minimum threshold to 38.7k per year, what a joke! I have been looking for work online while abroad to get back to the UK under the current rules but with April 2024 being only 4-5 months away, this is now impossible to achieve by saving 6 months of salary even if I were to get a job to bring my wife over to the UK before they change the rules. This is absolutely absurd that the UK Government is doing this to British nationals who are trusted citizens bringing their partners to the UK. And to also increase the health surcharge when the NHS has a wait list, why can't the foreign national obtain private health insurance as an alternative to paying they UK Government, it's always about the money and the corrupt dictators in government!
Is your forgein wife muslim?
£39k isn't a very high salary tbh
As an international student, I pay more than double in tuition fees compared to home students. I have utilized the NHS once, and I don't work. When I am done, I will return home. I love this country and its people, but as time passes, I'm starting to feel more like the enemy. Such a shame.
You love the country so much that you're taking your degree and leaving with it. Lol.
@@mydogeatspuke wtf are you on about?
@@pintohoareau579 did they not expect you to have basic literacy before accepting you? That's actually really common with immigrants, strangely enough.
moving to a western country is the most possible stupid thing Indians do, stay there and startup a business with all that money you spent on education, so you become a businessmen while employing other Indians in your shop, win win situation
Feelings, feelings, feelings. That's why the UK and many European countries are in this mess. We put everyone else's feelings above the good of national interest, and now we're paying the price.
To everybody upset about this please voice your frustrations to your local MPs & sign petitions to get these damaging polices reversed.
I would like to do that. To voice out. Where can I start ?
Will it work?
It won’t work because the vast, vast majority of British people want immigration reduced or preferably stopped and reversed. Its our country and we’ve had more than enough foreigners taking our jobs or worse, sponging from us.
Yeah we have to voice this out, we pay our taxes
I have been studying and working in the uk for 7 years, I’ve earned my grades, my job offer, met someone I love and made so many friends. Yet it is still so hard just to stay despite being very hardworking and having built all the ties to the uk community. I kept thinking I might just need to say bye to all these people and put a full stop to all these experiences because now I’m considered a problem for the uk economy.
I spent hundred thousands pounds for my education here, paid my taxes and was trying to make a living and marry. Now i am the one who causing all the troubles to Brits as well. Soon will receive a one month notice just like that
You really want to live here??
I even pay the taxes. And a big sum of them. Yet, it appears that I am the enemy as well.
You’re not the problem. Election just happens to be around the corner so Rishi and his minions are doing what they need to do to try and spin things around for themselves.
with a name like pedro - nobody cares about a spanish or argentine living on their street. Theres concern about muslims and some africans (some for racist reasons and some cultural). Brits dont care about australian or spanish migrants so please dont feel hated (its mostly the cultural differences)@@PedroPiquero
I identify as an expat here with no intention of permanent immigration just like millions of British expats working in other countries. I moved here for the same reasons as they did; better lifestyle, more opportunities, an adventure etc. This rule on not allowing to bring their dependents is draconian. I remember the British media highlighting the plight of workers in the Middle East having to live away from the families as a form of modern slavery and now we have this.😮
No plan?. How many years abroad and where without a say from inmigration?
The other countries you speak of in your comments are much larger than the UK.
We can’t continue to have floods of people coming into the UK from these much larger countries. eg the African Continent. The UK has had enough and it must be stopped somehow.
@@alexd7029 exactly my thoughts I am an Indian but can feel your plight and you guys really had it enough.. this is not draconian people like us from developing countries have option like stay back and help for country's growth or go outside and earn and have better life which should ideally come with a cost...
@@TheManasmit :- You are wise indeed.
Thank you.
It's amazing how politicians just do whatever they want with no real regard to what the people they are meant to serve want. They will argue they are doing what's right for the people, but they almost never ask us, lol, probably because when they did ask us they didn't get the answer they wanted. Shows how much we the people matter to the political elite
if you talk about brexit, the establishment wanted it, so that is how they set up the referendum.
WE DON'T MATTER TO THEM . THEY LOATHE US AND SEE US AS BENEATH THEM . CLASS IS THE PROBLEM
I migrated to the UK from Lithuania 12 years ago and it's sad to see this.... The amount of Brits that don't want to work is insane but we are seen as an enemy....
@user-SubvurzIVfinally a comment of common sense
@user-SubvurzIVnever knew how to properly articulate it (I have autism and dyspraxia) but that's exactly it! Not dissimilar to how working people blame people on benefits when they should blame the people who decide the benefit laws. We all fight and argue with each other whilst the ruling elite get richer and implement their 2030 agenda plans. That seems to be the goal
Well..we will let them work now because we are leaving for sure. Only here for work experience anyways.
the UK has a scary amount of low IQ xenophobes.
The kind who legit thought voting brexit would mean all non UK nationals would be removed from the country.
@@user-wh3vq1qi7xAgreed, I am guilty for falling for it in my younger days but looking into the data further it simply isn't supported. There is a housing shortage by design, corporate and political greed. Nothing to do with some migrants, legal or otherwise.
Culturally I'd be prepared to entertain an argument for slowing migration and encouraging better and more cohesive assimilation however economically it is a lie.
The best time to bring down immigration was when the parents of the likes of Sunak, Braverman, Raab, Patel or Badenoch were thinking about moving to the UK. We could have nipped this situation in the bud back then.
Don't worry my guy, the people you have mentioned are far more racist than you are, they absolutely hate anyone who's not white!

I paid 25000 GBP as fees to study for a Master's Degree, and got a job here which pays slightly above the new threshold due to having over 5 years of work experience. On top of this I have to pay an IHS which is going to amount to 1000 per year to use the NHS, despite contributing over 300 pounds to the NI each month in the form of taxes, which is a significantly higher contribution than the average Citizen. Does the government think I am a problem?
This government is trying to appease irrational people who don't know how the world works.
Same here, i have been studying 8 years and now applied for a skilled worker visa. Still cant make any plans for the future, and will probably be kicked out of country in couple years as hitting new threshold is insane in such a short term.
Look, I am very sympathetic to your pain but to be fair, coming to study abroad for Masters was your own choice and if I am not wrong, neither visa nor the education program promises guaranteed jobs. Of course in reality you are not the problem. However, the position you are in has nothing to do with Master's program you came with.
@@Robo94100 of course this sucks. But what I am pointing to is just because higher education in a paid program was pursued doesn't entitle anyone for anything other than a degree but the expectation is different.
Tax payers (regardless of amount) not getting their rights should be illegal. If there is taxation, there should be representation. Also, sorry to hear that :(

@@bigbarry8343 Experience, mate. There's no substitute for the skills and experience of someone who has worked in their field for years, if not decades. It's why all sensible nations, and all sensible citizens, welcome skilled legal migration. The only other way to get a specialist with 20 years of experience involves waiting 20 years.
@@korayven9255 right, and someone with 20 years experience in a skilled sector will comfortably meet the new salary threshold for a skilled visa
When will the UK learn that uncertainty is the big economic strain? The money that is paid to immigrants (who accept lower wages, can't bring their families and the government wants gone) mostly goes abroad. This is because the government makes them feel unwelcome and makes it difficult. These lonely immigrants will buy less food, pay less council tax, and won't pay into the health system. If you want an economic uplift from immigration, encourage people to settle down and become members of their communities. Give people the ability to plan. This whole 8 years has been a drain on the economy caused by being unable to know what stupid and poorly considered idea the government will dream up next. No one will settle and start building wealth in the UK until the government starts acting stable again. This is just another way to cause insecurity.
But the point is that people (on aggregate) don't want an economic uplift from migration. They (generally) want a radical rethink regarding our economy, which can't be carried out with an endless supply of cheap labour disincentivising the raising of salaries in certain sectors (e.g. care) and the proper training of UK citizens
Exactly ...loss of confidence in Uk has brought currency investments etc to its knees yet govt still carries on the same c***
@@nickelmouse451 sounds easy enough. just pay more money to workers (which you don't have because the economy is already stagnant) and properly train UK citizens (who don't even want to work). just a few decades (centuries?) of this and things will surely start to look up
This is smart thinking
@@LEE...337 They went back home as in many villages from whence they came they already had land and built new homes especially in E Europe which is why accepted low wages, here we cannot do the same...
Skilled workers new minimum salary raised to £38,700.
Health and Social workers are exempted from that because we're desperate for them... why? Because UK workers don't want to work in such harsh environment for low pay. So maybe pay our NHS staff properly so we'll stop having to hire from overseas..?
Not allowing dependants to come is a double edged sword. The money would get sent overseas and spent overseas instead of here.
Meanwhile, birth rates keeps on dropping :l
The Tories say N O.
Overseas staff get paid the same as UK staff
@@jedimasterbazz its not that simple. immigrants making more money than possible back home are less likely to push for higher wages, meanwhile natives are making less than their parents did. so when it comes to negotiating pay deals, having more immigrants helps lower the demands of unions like those the nurses are in
Maybe cut benefits, so it's better to go to work - at the moment it's too easy to sit at home and do nothing.
In countries like The Phillipines where many NHS staff come from, if you don't work then you often starve, so they will keep coming because lazy Brits expect a superstar salary for any type of work
@@sue4337 Really? What? Is this true
I'm a UK citizen. Was abroad for 14 years, paying taxes elsewhere. I came back to the UK with my wife less than a year ago. I proved then I earned the threshold, I payed her NHS charges etc... We since bought a house and are waiting on the sale to finalize. I earn a good wage, enough to buy a house, pay my mortgage and support us both comfortably, but who earns 40K?!?

@@mrmeldrew693 The national average is 34,963, and varies per region - 44,370 in London and 31,200 pounds in the North East for example. That means both the national average and some areas are below the threshold. 1 out of 3 ain't bad though, you are indeed not special.
Illegal migrants is the problem not legal. Yes control legal immigration but the illegal immigration should be the focus.

For election they destroyed British people family life how on earth this kind of idiots get chance even the near of government
10 million working-age British people claim benefits from the government. That’s out of 37.5 million working-age British people. That’s 27% of your workforce not making enough money to be self-reliant.
In a country where there’s so much welfare support, public education is free and university is basically free (it’s quite cheap + scholarships + you can take a loan and basically never be required to actually repay it), that’s mind blowing to me.
That’s your real problem right there. The couple hundred immigrants you’re importing are actually helping pay for the lives of 1/3 of British people.
Wow is that actually the stats? Insane. Very well said btw, absolutely correct
The new spousal visa income requirement from 18k to 38k is big difference . People who got married before this announcement should still be allowed to come in with their partners showing 18k . I say this because the government said gave one threshold of 18k all these years and now because they had changed their mind on the amount isn’t a just reason to pull families Nd relationships apart , this is playing with real peoples lives .
And those people who married before this announcement git married because they have skill qualification and know they can realistically get 18k job
Now let’s look at these people earning 18k arent all qualified professionals at best maybe they can jump to 26 …. So how does this new rule make it realistically possible for less skilled qualified workers to now earn 38k ? That’s basically saying they don’t care that they are setting up rule to make it absolutely impossible for people to bring their spouses n it will break families.
Its one thing someone marry after this announcement but hows this fair on people who married and wasn’t expecting to fall in this trap
I am one of those! Got engaged few months ago and planning to marry next year. My salary is not 38700 and can’t marry earlier as it will be busy period in my work.
Anyways if a guy who got married and sponsored their dependent on the minimum salary of 18K will need to renew the sponsor after 3 or 2.5 years again. How are they expecting him to jump from 18K to 38700 in 2 years? Like more than 100% jump
I’m in this situation and it now seems like I will never get to bring my wife over and settle. I’m a British citizen, I pay taxes. My family are full of working teachers, doctors and social carers. Yet we feel so undervalued. I graduated in the uk, i was studying to become a teacher. I guess now I will have to look at options elsewhere. It’s practically impossible to get £38k for a spouse visa. Heartbroken.
British government is trying to encourage infidelity. When you can't bring your spouse the only option you have is to cheat around.
I’m devastated. Literally getting married soon and was hoping to bring my wife over to the UK and settle. And before anyone complains, I pay my TAXES, I work very hard and do things legally and never claimed benefits. My family is full of teachers and doctors. This is so unfair and impossible! All because of a few rotten apples, my love life has to suffer and who knows what happens next. As a British born citizen, I jusy dont feel valued any longer. 😢

Don't worry! If that becomes a problem for you and your life just go to another country where you feel happy and there's loads to choose from. Let them keep all that useless people.👍🏻
More workers isn’t bad for the economy. Having 0 housing or infrastructure for them is what’s bad for the economy. There is a limited amount of space and resources for people to have.
depends upon what you call the economy. if the aggregate demand - perhaps. however its very bad for the people considering salary stagnation at the 2001 level. however that is only a tip of the iceberg, outsourcing of good jobs to low cost of living locations is far more pernicious.
But the conflict and stress and insecurity it brings helps the torys stay in power.
More foreign workers is very bad, because they often send money back home rather than spending it here, which British workers would do, and our economy suffers
@@bigbarry8343that last point you made is huge.
Well it is because it supresses wages and keeps businesses reliant on modern day serfdom rather than actually having to improvise and innovate.
Your argument is like someone from the 1700's saying we don't need expensive machines, just keep using slaves.
Immigration is fine as long as it’s kept in line with the growth of infrastructure and vital services.
Thanks to austerity we haven’t been upgrading our vital infrastructure and services.
The tories got rid of NHS bursaries which massively disincentivised our youth from working in health and social care.
As a result we are now in a position where we need high levels of immigration to function as a society but do not have the resources to house and support the people already living here never mind people moving from abroad.
When you have a cost of living crisis and a housing crisis that have no end in sight it’s easy for immigrants to become the scapegoat. They aren’t the problem but rather it’s government policy that’s to blame. I fear we will lurch even further to the right and follow in the footsteps of Italy and the Netherlands.
Illegal immigrants certainly aren't helping, but this change isn't targeting them. Which is odd. This feels more like yet another attempt to start Labour off in a bad situation than anything meant to actually help the country.
No, the government doesn't want less or they would have already stopped it
It's red meat for the voters
Fewer.
Less dark kids about will make conservatives feel more comfortable? Im struggling to see the reasoning for not allowing care workers family's to come with them. Damages our international profile and makes us look pretty ungrateful for those that work hard when people need them the most.
We don't owe them anything. We need to prioritise the indigenous population for a change. It won't happen.
Care workers make no money and can bring entire families with them. So an underpaid person who contributes very little to the system will get totally free services for their kids for an entire generation? This makes no sense. Places like Singapore force foreigners to send their kids in private school - local schools are only for locals. Health care private and so on. Because the math does not add up. And the math should be a priority. Immigration is meant to benefit locals, not the extended families of foreign workers
Japan, SK, Gulf States all have infinitely more restrictive and harsh policies. They seem to be fine. So what’s the big deal? And no country can sustain perpetual immigration and demographic change without seeing cultural change, and societal transformation. I doubt the British public want that, just look at multicultural London and all the Muslims.
@@user-lf4vj6qq8q If you get a job in the Gulf you can bring your spouse and kids though. They don't care about your faith either.. and neither should you. I didn't say there should be no controls on immigration. This delusion that Britain is some kind of nirvana and we can pick and choose who we want to come is what will wreck the British economy, not "all the Muslims" 🤦
@@jamadidthis The UAE also have an income requirement to bring over dependents. Also, they are far more restrictive and society is openly segregated. They also do not have have 1.1m new arrivals per year, as the UK just did. Comparing the 2 makes no sense. The reality is that literally all countries are more restrictive than the UK. And yes, compared to the countries where immigrants are coming from, the UK is nirvana. You somehow think that brokies on 26k graduate visas are 'saving the economy'? That is a bigger delusion than Britain being a paradise destination
Don’t really know why someone in the right mind would even consider UK as a place to migrate to… People are way better off migrating to places where their skills are valued Silicon Valley, Toronto, Dublin, Sydney or Germany. UK lost its competitiveness years ago, it’s sad but the truth once a great empire now faced with a un-innovative brittle economy…..and to all skilled and smart Peeps America is calling…

Does this include nurses? If so, good thing that our nursing education back home allows us to work anywhere in the world. If they will make it harder for us after our sacrifices here during covid then we have many options to choose from anyways.
Well if the numbers are replaced with a home work force, then you don’t need to go.
@@TheAArmstrong In order for that to happen you would have to pay nurses a proper wage. If the past year or say is anything to go by then paying the people who work in the NHS a proper wage is the last thing the Tories want to do. So British nurses and doctors are going to other countries, where they can earn a living.
Nurses are free to go to places like Singapore where they are entitled to even less. Good luck XD
You could go Saudi and earn your salary tax free and have quieter life. Weather is better. Less grumpy people to deal with. No friday night hassle...either ..
@@nauxsi nah. Heard horror stories about nurses in Saudi.
Nurses and other healthcare workers pay in UK is MEDIOCRE compared to other developed countries like US, CANADA and Australia. A Registered Nurse pay in UK is equal to the cleaning lady's pay in USA.
Exactly
Britain really is shooting themselves in the foot with this legislation.
If the government/civil service miscalculated the vast numbers of people who would come to the UK, following a liberalisation of the migrant policies, it shows that they don't know what they are doing, and are incompetent!
Then the fact that it has taken so long, and needed a backlash from the population, before they ammended the legislation, equally shows their contempt of the electorate!
I was a student I invested my money and now i work in the UK and pay my taxes how as an immigrant I am the problem ? and the irony is this rule is put by an immigrant himself ...

Whether we like it or not the labour shortages caused by brexit need to be filled unless we want higher inflation and worse services. Ironically it’s migration from the parts of the world we wanted least plugging the gap rather than our closest neighbours with compatible cultures and values, but that pretty much sums up the stupidity of brexit
RejoinEU now?
Racists everywhere but India scheme is okay and why?
They pressed ahead with Brexit to leave the EU only to realize they're still on Planet Earth.
Smoke and mirrors
There is no labour shortage, we have 1.6 million on the dole, A labour shortage is beneficial to the workers, meaning companies has to pay more for labour.
lets be real this country has no real hard work expect for a few industries like scrap metal,waste recycling, some jobs got people on their phones 80 percent of the time, we have rights and laws that slow down economic growth
24 million are employed full time and 8.5 are part time and another 4.2 million self employed.
WHAT we need to do is get better at what we do, in time we will need a smaller workforce because of ai and technology
SUNAK SHOULD BE THE DEPORTED EX PRIMINSTER IN HISTORY
What's the point of bringing in a care worker who is on a low wage and pays little in taxes, when he brings in 6 children who need schooling, health service, child benefits and a family home. It is better not to have them.
I would suggest for international students to look elsewhere to study and work. The UK has a horrible reputation of flip flopping on their skilled worker policies/work sponsorship and study programmes whenever they see fit.
The Conservative government had already killed the Erasmus and post grad programme during Brexit left which many of their unis underfunded and under researched. They kicked out all the EU applicants and vital workers in favor for the non EU countries, only to be do the same again to the non-EU applicants after 3 years when the legal migration rate had soared.
Where else can we go?

Just wanted to comment about they want "home grown workers". I am a migrant myself and work in a carehome for 8 years and worked with different people from different countries. The worst colleague you could ask for is this so called "home grown workers". They are lazy, they want break every 30mins, they can't work 3 days straight, they can't work weekends/holidays, they mourn all day long, they are the 1st to reach the office to complain, last but not the least they talk to the family of the residents in such a way that they make themselves angles the immigrant workers devil.
Why dont the english/british population work these jobs? (Genuine question) all ive been hearing in this country is that immigrants are taking all the jobs? Yet we have 150,000 vacancies in social care?? Make it make sense please someone
Well they get to suppress wages by importing foreign workers. It’s cheap and easy. Saves them having to invest in a home workforce I guess. Why cook dinner when a takeaway is cheaper??
Dumb argument about British workers when it is simple mathematics - an ageing population = a shrinking workforce with greater number of inactive dependents.
@@TheAArmstrong With risk to offend you I observed a lot of British workers with very poor work ethics .The same time possessing enormous self-confidence ,and arrogance .We can add a bit of laziness to the mixture ,and this is your answer.Yes the investment care companies don't like to pay well, but what makes you believe that a European care worker loves the low wages?
Care sector is a wonderful money making machine.All this is possible thanks to the Capitalists in the government.No one cares about the workers, regardless where they come from and no one cares about the service users. Hypocrisy and dust in the eyes of the gullible voters.
Why should they? when can claim benefits instead 🤷🏾♀️

True
Not allowing family/ dependents of careworkers going to the UK means, either - a lack of care workers, or a rapid rise of the cost of care, or drop of quality of care due to manpower shortages. STUPID.

If we push our workers out of the door with low pay and also ban foreigners from coming and doing the jobs for cheap, then who does the jobs! Massive vacancies coming up, and possibly a much worse NHS crisis. Well done Rishi, fantastic stuff mate...
Wrong! I’m a doctor trained and working in the UK. most doctors stay and are striking for fair pay. But now there are so many foreign doctors that there is unbelievable competition from doctors who can barely speak English from all over the world for training places. There’s no reason uk doctors should be unemployed where as a doctor from Asia can come and take a training place before them. Sorry that’s madness. And it’s unethical. Why are we draining doctors from poorer countries when uk doctors aren’t prioritised in the uk
@@richild3967 Nurses too. It's madness that countries like the UK, NZ and Canada can poach nurses trained elsewhere without any form of compensation or regard for the countries that trained them.
My sister is a care worker. I'm sad to say that care workers that come from abroad are non active.
If she's a care worker, she won't be affected. It's only dependants of care workers who will be affected.
Well most British people don't want to do carework because they think it's beneath them. If you offer more money, then you'll attract the sorts of people whose hearts and souls aren't in carework and are just doing it for the money; the nasty people from British society who throw patients around and abuse them.
@@KJ-js7pi this policy means kick out married workers
It was for cheap labour in the social care.These workers was used by Ravi Baines a private care company sevacare. Most of these workers were having to do over 72 hours a week just to get a decent wage. Ravi Baines serves on a government committee for overseeing home care and took packages off the city council. Most of the citizens that used his services were appalled with the lack of care.

@@joannelewis3390 Truth needs to be out on the media, only problem the media are paid not to report the truth.
Why does this feel very familiar??
When Brexit came into motion, many overseas migrant workers which were in the health service industry and roles which were very important that served the British public. The country was struggling to fill in the roles which were left unfilled after EU citizens left the UK, once Brexit became a reality.
So, these new changes will result in the same situation. The NHS will struggle to fill positions because the British public won't be willing to do those jobs.
For years before EU we had in Europe and UK seasonal workers from east Europe. Seasonal visas was the way to go for industries like construction or agriculture. Then when east Europe entered in EU we lost that overnight because since they move freely in Europe they stop to do that jobs and taking on industries that were already full of locals. We need to balance that again especially UK that is not in Europe and can literally decide who entered and who keep out.
This country needs workers in so many areas but this government is so incompetent it is scary.
yeah we got 5 million of them on benefits
@@markhill4932 little reminder, most people on benefits are actually working households, and 12.5 million pensioners are in receipt of state pension.

This guy with fake hands
“I thought the camera would add 10 pounds to my hands”
How about people look after their own elderly? Within our own families! Why is it always the expectation that grandparents are shipped off to a care home to degrade until death. UK needs to look after their own, then there wont be this “need” for so many care workers. And shock - if less people move to UK, there will be less strain on the NHS to service such a large population, thus lowering the number of doctors / nurses needed. There needs to be greater incentives / funding to train local nurses and doctors to fix the imbalance long term. Speaking as a Brit, im so sad to see a complete incompetent governance of the UK, and the opposition isn't any better either.
One of the shifts that happened during and after COVID in US was more kids moving in with their parents for a bit for multiple reasons like lost job/saving rent/spending time with parents at older age as COVID made them realize how fickle life can be. Many have realized that the old Indian method of taking care of your own isnt too bad. And now looking at this video, you want to take care of your own elders so that immigrants aren't needed for those jobs.
Very unlikely that hard-partying and booze addicted British youths are up to the task of caring for their parents. It's also a totally different culture where breaking free from your parents is seen as a sign of success, even if it results in broken families and a more expensive life.
I don't remember voting for Klaus Schwab.
Problem is culture, we no longer prioritise family, work, education, community and decency. Need to workout when this culture change happened? I noticed a major shift in the 90s when lad culture became a thing: Drinking, living as an individual (like a friend’s character), overpaid white collar work, underpaid hands on work and things like family, work, education, community and decency diminished. And instead of addressing what made this happen, we just blame immigrants picking up the slack.
We are getting to a point where we need to work harder, and not pretend to be smarter than we are because as a nation we are getting left behind. You just got to look at eastern countries that prioritise family, work, and education.
I would love to ask the governement one really simple question as an immigrant who lives in the UK for 5 years already. When are you going to stop the benefits of all people which are capable of working, but decide not to? (I'm not talking about people with disabilities or something similar)

Literally the smallest, least thing they could do as a symbolic measure. Throwing the British ppl a bone. We're not that stupid.
We urgently need more migration to the UK to fill many empty posts in the economy. Without cheaper foreign workers to fill these posts, shareholder returns will be surely suboptimal and Britain will seem a less attractive base for investors to make money. Ultimately, we need more migrants here to pay our pensions, save our NHS, and save Britain as a whole. We must endure, even if it means we witness a complete and total demographic change.

Will the new threshold be applicable to students who are already here as well? Or for migrants who will come after the law is made
All international students show over 30k in savings as part of their application process plus a year's worth of tuition fees (usually 20k) in order for their visa to be approved. So these are usually rich students. Skilled workers, on the other hand, are usually poorer immigrants instead - that is where complications happen.
@@4x4r974 yes but then those “rich students” need to find a job that gets them more than 38k after graduation to stay here… yeah very realistic
Regardless of political party, many in the UK have lost faith that the government and the civil service will stop the uncontrolled legal migration - note that is legal, the side of migration that we most have control over.
The effects of uncontrolled migration are seen in:
- increase of people on benefits. See the governments data of unemployment by ethnicity - despite the image fed to us, white British have the lowest unemployment rate compared to all other ethnicities.
- artificially lowering the minimum wage due to an abundance of cheap imported labour. We have parts of the indigenous population that rely heavily on low paid low skilled jobs, and they are having to compete with people who are used to earning below the poverty level of Africa, Indian Subcontinent, Middle East etc
- increase in house prices and rental prices
- more building on our protected Green Belt land due to the housing pressure
- more building on existing buildings and causing social tension as people live cheek by jowl. Legislation has been relaxed to encourage this in building. The UK already has some of the smallest homes, compared to Europe.
- increase in violence and crime. There is a general increase, plus some which is specific to certain ethnicities. Knife (and machete) crime is more frequent, however whilst it captures the headlines, many other forms of crime, not typical to the indigenous population are flourishing. The Asian (Indian subcontinent) grooming gangs rap_ing/assaulting/drugging white children.
- increased demand for extra policing, in the tens of thousands (look at the different police force's online wanted posters, there is a disproportionately higher number of foreign criminals, especially as a proportion of the population)
- increased demand for prison officers, and prison buildings (look at the prison population, where there is again a disproportionately higher number of foreign criminals, especially as a proportion of the population). We are already releasing criminals early, and not imprisoning others, due to a lack of prison places! And the increase in taxes to pay for these.
- increased demand on the judiciary. Our courts are blocked with massive queues, and everything is done to delay cases going to the CPS or going to court. We have a lack of staff and buildings. Very serious cases are rarely reaching the CPS or courts, or take years to go through the system. This causes a lack of justice, an increased risk to the population as criminals continue to live amongst us, and it encourages crime (justice needs to be swift to act as a deterrent).
- the loss of our capital city London. It is now predominantly populated by people who self identify as belonging to an ethnic minority. You rarely hear English spoken! This will impact tourism - a quarter of a million people work in the tourism sector in London alone.
- greater difficulty in seeing a healthcare professional, be it a GP, Consultant, or dentist
- hospitals frequently declaring emergencies as their A&E queues of ambulances with patients stuck in them grow longer. Even hospitals, in areas with a vast majority of white British population, if you go to the A&E it will be full of people from the middle east, Indian subcontinent, and Africa. Often you won't hear English being spoken!
- increased burden of disabled children, on healthcare, special education needs, and benefits (both for disability, and for the unemployed parents that stay at home caring for their disabled children), unnecessarily caused by cousin marriage, from people from the Indian subcontinent
- lack of school and university places. Pressures to change what is being taught, to suit a minority religious population
- the enormous congestion on all our roads. Even country lanes, which were once peaceful, have now become rat runs
- religious and social tension, especially from ethnicities that are not interested in integrating
- increased suffering of female children subjected to FGM and child marriage
- increased distortion of UK elections, as women from the Indian subcontinent lose their vote to their husbands
MORAL QUESTION - is it morally right to import cheap labour to be exploited?
And what about those skilled migrants, eg nurses and doctors, that are actually needed in their own country. Is it morally right for the UK to benefit from poorer countries paying to educate and train skilled workers?
MENTAL HEALTH BURDEN
The effects of a lot of the above pressures, are seen in a rapid increase in mental health problems across all ages, but especially in the young working adults, adults who should if anything, be the most resilient of society.
FINANCIAL BURDEN
At Budget time in March 2024, the UK National Debt is estimated to be £2.70 trillion!
BIRTH RATE FALSE THEORY
Some people believe in the theory, that we need to import people because of our lower birth rate, and that there is certain work that we don't want to do.
This ignores the fact that we need to increase productivity, especially with automation/robotics/AI (Artificial Intelligence), because other countries will certainly be investing in this, and all of these reduce job vacancies.
Our population might not apply for very low paid jobs, eg picking fruit, or nursing the elderly, but that is because the rates of pay are ridiculously low. Pay a fair wage in an economy that doesn't tilt the table by importing cheap labour!

Many thanks, and don't forget to share👍
how about be tough on Illegal migration? the Tories are out of ideas.
Dear Rushi thank you for making Christmas something to watch on the telly
how about making sure the immigration is having the best positive effect on the country instead of being focused on numbers? the quantitative obsession is a dumb policy
this is the way to do it. cut back massively= improvement
When you have a specific number of houses available, and specific capacities in some of the local infrastructure, then the raw numbers are very important.
Too late Sunak, a million immigrants have come in this year alone
This is total nonsense. Most people that would earn above £38k are highly skilled professionals and probably have several options apart from the UK if they are not able to migrate with their Spouse and Children.
The realistic question is, how will the UK fill the huge shortage of health and social care workers when these professionals starts going to Canada and Australia that needs them and ready to offer more incentives than we do?
We will definetely end up attracting only those at the bottom of the list.
This is a short sighted approach...
No, it will make no meaningful difference, but then it was never intended to. This is playing to the gallery where they can claim they are doing something, without doing anything. Very Tory...
No meaningful, 30% of immigration are down just like that.
Stop putting people in hotels
Stop people like you from commenting
No worker coming to work here should bring dependents - that is ridiculous- just a huge drag on social services.
The scam is, the companies encouraging overseas people to take our jobs so that they can charge them very high rent which they take directly out of their pay.
Reply
yup, than sfor bringing that up. they also charge them for low quality unnecessary training. but the accomodation cost on the open market would have been much higher. in fact, the salary of 26K would barely cover the cost of single room in slough. still, considering enormous cost of living gap between uk and india, it is still an attractive option for both parties.
The only 2 ways to reduce migration is:
- stop selling the false UK image abroad as being such a great country
- don’t give benefits to immigrants unless they contributed to the economy at least 5 years
We all know this but they don't want to cut immigration.
The second one is basically what I’m currently in. I don’t get benefits other than the nhs and free schooling for my kid. I have to wait and contribute for 5 years just to get my indefinite leave to remain. I’m completely fine with that though. What’s unfair is we migrated here legally and just like that, the government is going after us even though we pay our taxes and stay out of trouble instead of the illegals destroying the country.
lol migrants don’t have benefits
Latter bullet point is in place and in some circumstances is longer than 10 years + migrants pay renewal fees which includes a NHS surcharge. I don’t actually think migration is bad, the UK simply has to be more selective about which cultures it choses to take people from and do more for domestic workers.
What benefits do those legal migrants have in their first 5 years? I really want to know. They are working and paying all kinds of taxes. But they need to pay NHS fees and they cannot receive child benefits even if they earn less than £50K a year.
What benefits do you want to take away from them? Do you want them to pay for school fees for their kids too? If you want to remove all benefits from them, you may have to call it slavery rather than "immigration".
I'm a fully qualified scaffolder sitting at home today because foreign scaffolders do my job for a ridiculously cheaper price, out pricing us and putting us out of work. What can you do?
And what about the ones already living in the UK that don't work?
The government should encourage those who can work but chose not to work, to get back into work to reduce the need for foreign workers, by providing more incentives such as better working conditions, flexible hours etc.

99% of people do not want mass immigration because it is making their lives miserable (think about how would you feel if it happened to your country). those who invite immigrants either have a direct stake in the migration industry or they benefit from depressed wages and living costs out of whack with earnings.
politiciants and media started making some noises about exorbitant immigration exactly 1 month ago, but this is just posturing for the voters. if you ask me, salary of 38K is still grosly inadequate, considering that we talk about the top talent in hard to fill roles. the salary threshold should be at least 200K, and even that is barely adequate to support sustainable life in london with dependants.
