6:16Now PlayingLabour's Steve Reed has backed the idea of stopping foreign workers bringing dependents into the UK.
Asked if he agreed with the home secretary's plans, Mr Reed told Sophy Ridge: "The fact that they're having to bring so many people in from abroad is because they fail to manage the British economy properly.
"If you were training British people to do jobs like care workers there wouldn't be an issue about bringing dependents in."
The shadow environment secretary added: "I like the idea of it. It's when you phase it in, because what you don't want to end up with is care homes with no care workers and a lot of older people no longer being supported."
