11:02Now PlayingImmigration figures from the Home Office say the number of Channel migrants granted permission to stay in Britain has quadrupled, yet overall work visas issued fell by 22%, mainly driven by a 'sharp decline' in health and social care visas.
Tom Swarbrick speaks to Daniel Sohege, director of Stand for All, a legal campaign which offers pro-bono work to charities which fight for migrants' rights. He says it the government will need a ‘different simple and safe way’ to process asylum claims.
Paul thinks ‘the permanent shortage of care workers’ is caused by migrant workers realising ‘they can earn more doing something else,’ despite the fact that visas have to be sponsored.
Gary, who worked in a nursing home, responds to Paul with a story of 'sitting down one night and working through the costs,' saying 'the wages could have been a lot better.'
