before migrating to the u.k - immigrants prepay for services e.g nhs etc. then still get taxed when they work for those same services. & remember some of these services are not easily available. yeah NHS is free - but good luck getting an appointment at the doc.
that's extra revenue for the u.k gvt.
the security guards, the care workers etc - which people are working those jobs ? immigrants or spouses of immigrants.
right now the conservative leader Kemi is campaining to increase permanent residency to 10 years. & citizenship to 15 years. who's gonna stay for that in a country where electricity & basic bills are expensive as hell.
skilled native british people are leaving & getting replaced by migrants. the doctors at the nhs majority are foreign trained.
