Migrant health and nursing workers earn better than this | Immigration and asylum

John Harris’ article mentions the rules in March 2024, in which new migrant care workers are prohibited by relatives (dependent (In an NHS station I saw how Britain rely on immigrants. Nevertheless, we tell them that they are not being sought, February 16).

It is less well known that thousands of health and care workers who arrived before this date were also prevented from getting their children – most of them single mothers. A report Published on January 22nd by Action for Southern Africa and Women of Zimbabwe showed that thousands of single mothers from Zimbabwe and elsewhere were put into their work, only to be denied visa for their children who were waiting at home to join them .

These mothers who take care of our relatives every day – have been separated from their children for years and have given responsibility due to their concept of “individual consumption”. This is a concept of the British visa and immigration (UKVI), which is incredibly difficult for single mothers is to prove itself because it extends further as the internationally recognized term “sole custody”.

Our report Reveals a lack of clarity as to which documents of the UKVI will accept as evidence, inconsistent application of its own guidelines and evidence of so -called enemy environmental tactics to combat decision delays.

The influence is devastating. A mother from Zimbabwe was separated by her two girls for almost two years. It took six applications before the visa was granted (three for each child). In our report, eight similar cases are documented, but thousands of children remain in the balance. Why is it for children from southern Africa that they can be kept by their mothers by their mothers for a long time? Echos from Windrush is abandoned.

I agree with John Harris and the “bitter absurdity” of the situation in the heart of the situation Nhs And the care sector. Last summer my 90-year-old mother collapsed and was brought to A&E in Worthing. The department was massively employed, the patients were looked after in the corridor and the ambulances came with alarming regularity. The bay in which my mother was, was occupied by two nurses from overseas, who took care of all of their patients with exemplary professionalism and friendliness.

However, I was horrified to hear how racist comments were made openly by patients, although it was said loudly: “Look what happened to our NHS.” Bitter absurdity indeed. I left the department to the staff and incredibly angry and embarrassed what I had seen.

John Harris’ article is in time, but immigrants and their descendants are not just the backbone of the NHS. My guard is delivered by an Indian and my teeth are cared for by an Indian. Our postman of 20 years is Chinese; Our local station is opened and closed by a Nigerian woman in godless hours. Our supermarket coffers are almost exclusively occupied by South Asians. Our cat is regularly dabbed by people from Spain, Poland and India. The drivers on our local Bussstraße recently included people from Ghana, Nepal, Somalia and Albania.

In addition to all these good people, when I fell my fibula five years ago, it was excellently repaired by a Turkish Cypriot. This demonization of migrants must be exposed to evil that it is. Remember that the Hallelujah choir was written by an economic migrant.
