“Licences have been revoked from companies for a wide range of rule breaking, which includes:
* underpayment of workers
* facilitating the entry of individuals to circumvent the immigration rules
* failing to provide promised work”
So they bring them in use them as almost unpaid labour ?

This proves the Home Office are a bunch of fools
Many people on these work permits are living here for years before any checks are made.
It is very easy to check up on every company with a licence and this should be routine.
There are only 136,000 companies with a licence.
If you factor in reviewing a licence, a back and forth with the company, and perhaps referral to an on-site visit, this will only take perhaps 6-8 hours of time in billable terms.
Just 1 staff member can then review 20 licences a month.
You would only need to review a licence once every 6 months
So that’s around 22,000 licences to be reviewed each month
If a staff member can review 20, then you need just under 1200 staff members working full time for this task.
Most of these staff members would be at a low paygrade but say £30,000 a year.
That’s only £36 million a year to create 1200 jobs and to reduce the lifetime impact of fraudulent immigration on the UK, on the tax man for businesses that dont pay their taxes, on public services etc.
By comparison we spend billions on asylum hotels that generate no jobs, and strain services, and make hotel owners rich who offshore their money away from tax

I don’t believe everything I read in the right wing press about migration but at the same time whenever people point to the rules to dispel myths it relies on a premise that rules are actually followed and enforced which is so obviously untrue.

It’s crazy how so many Reform voters think it’s the British people Vs the government when it comes to immigration. That it’s the government openly inviting people here to compete for jobs.
The people importing the cheap labour are economically right-wing British people too. They want a limp government to keep their noses out and stamp the visas.
There’s some really crappy work that needs to be done that’s just not economically viable when paying above minimum wage. If no one local will do it, and we’re not importing the willing, then those businesses either have to close or be funded by Government.

Hopefully this is in conjunction with fines and prosecutions. This is at least fraud, if not people trafficking and slavery.

Shame they haven’t done this to the Pakistani landlord over the road from me who is actively involved in housing illegal migrants and putting them to work in his illegal courier business. How do I know? Border force raided them a few weeks back and took 8 of them away. The house was full again within 24hrs with new illegals.

Another case where Labour does something sensible on migration and your first feeling is why was this not done before?
