BIG BAM

Immigrants are human beings with ambitions, qualifications, families, and aspirations. They are not commodities imported to serve a particular industry indefinitely. There is also a glaring contradiction in your argument. On the one hand, you suggest that migrants will become dependent on benefits after obtaining permanent residency. On the other hand, you express concern that they will leave care work for better employment opportunities. Which exactly is your objection? If someone leaves the care sector to become a solicitor, accountant, engineer, or another highly skilled professional, they are still working, paying taxes, contributing to the economy, and potentially earning more. Surely, that is something any country interested in economic growth should welcome. You cannot simultaneously complain that migrants might become economically inactive and then oppose their efforts to become more economically productive. That is not a coherent policy argument; it is a glaring double standard. If the government wishes to retain skilled care workers, it should create an environment where remaining in the sector is a desirable choice, not an imposed obligation. A fair society does not measure the worth of immigrants solely by how long they remain in the jobs they were originally recruited to perform. It also recognises their right to grow, contribute, and fulfil their potential. The real question should be: Why are we discussing how to prevent care workers from leaving instead of asking why the sector struggles to retain them in the first place? You cannot build a sustainable care system by restricting people’s ambitions. You build it by making care work a profession people are proud to choose and financially able to remain in. Retention should be earned through dignity, fair pay, and opportunity I know you are inconsequential in the scheme of things however Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
