As the Director of www.globalvisas.com one of the world’s leading immigration authorities I believe the Minister must accept that without migrant workers the UK would suffer. The UK needs migrant skills and should be grateful when those skills make the UK their home and avoid such comments for the sake of a right wing vote. In our experience the UK is a great place to live and work but so is Australia, Canada, US and many places. He should maybe focus more on selling the country a little more. The UK is not the only option Skilled workers have!

Our offices around the world are showing more and more people are looking to leave the UK as well as join it. UK employers will always need hard workers and training a local unemployable will not make them any less of a liability to an employer. Work shy people are that way through choice and no matter what the Minister says they will stay that way.

While hard working skilled people will always go out and do a hard days work and work for what is best for their family be that in the UK or anywhere in the world.
